They are also very clever at winning people over. My sis, who owns and loves chow chows, just didn't 'get' my excitement when I made plans to get a basenji. At the beginning, she thought Kipawa was cute, but she was still reserved with her feelings. However, she is totally in love with Kipawa now, and he loves her too. And she is now loving the breed itself. If she sees a good basenji picture somewhere, she will post it on facebook. Those basenji faces can just melt our hearts, and that is why the little buggers can get away with so much. 🙂
Basenji's in the news

Just thought I'd share some news articles. Both nsmbc.com and bbc.com have great articles about dog domestication starting in africa. There's a picture of a r/w basenji on the msnbc web article, It was a interesting piece
about our dogs african roots. They are on today's web page 8-4-09 and yesterdays 8-3-09 on the bbc site. -

Interesting articles, both. No wonder our sub-Saharan dogs like the heat.

Very cool. Thanks for the links.

The B in the BBC picture looks like it's well taken care of, at least from that view.

She looks quite big and maybe in pup from the look of her tum
