    @agilebasenji:

    If you take the quiz, there are even more Kaden pics.

    Ah yes, video as well.

    I love the coloring. Haven't seen very many basenjis with that type. It's like a tri but with heavy brindle coloring in place of the red.

    We are all the smart ones for having the smart great little B's that all of us have in our lives and hearts. I hope that maybe before everyone run's out and get's one now because it was in the news they will learn more about them. There health and the way they can act and often do. I may not want them to find a missing person what if I wanted to send my hubby away. Just joking I am so proud of our little girl.

    What a lovely story but I was a bit dismayed at the statement that he was culled from a litter at 7 days old because of his unusual sociability with humans! Could they have meant 7 weeks? In any case doesn't sound right.

    I was wondering about that also:confused:

    I am sure they meant 7 weeks, not 7 days…

    Wouldn't a human-social basenji be preferred? Seems odd it would be rejected like that.

    I think the story meant it was "chosen" for its sociability not "culled". (You'd think journalists would have a better handle on vocabulary) Great story anyway.

    They meant chosen. Jeff visited the litter many, many times as the litter was growing and Kaden had everything he was looking for in a working dog.

    I know the breeder and saw the litter when they were about 11 weeks old. Of course Kaden was already in his new home by then. Jeff and Kaden live in my area so hopefully I'll actually get to meet them someday and watch Kaden work. :)

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
