What website did you transfer these pics from? On Photo Bucket you can resize the pics on their site. Then after you resize them you can post them to the forum.
just found out my tri was from OK as well, a lady named lisa akins, and my red was bought in massachusettes/rhode island boarder , her great grandfather was the only basenji to win westminster in 1989.
You had me confused and then I realized you meant the write up on the other rescue (Okapi)…
I like less white also. So I had to go look... wow, coloring reminds me of minpins. :) Cute dog though.
I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji.
As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.
The question about the doggy smell is a good one - basenjis do not smell like dogs. If you stick your face right into their fur the comparison is like sticking your face into a nice clean healthy cat - warm and not really a discernable smell. Except their feet. Their feet smell like Fritos sort of.
