She is lovely Nicola - and what an ideal mix - a basenji that does what its told! Where bouts in Scotland are you btw?
Thanks. Yes, she's a very good girl actually, though has very frequent moments of madness, which is great of course! :D
I'm in Greenock.
@Shaye's:
She is a lovely dog - and I agree with Elscodobermann that it is an ideal mixture if it results in such a beautiful Basenji-look dog who also listens and behaves!
Thank you. She's great! And does behave herself (most of the time!). :rolleyes:

Yes, technically she barks, though it's not actually a bark, it's more of a mid range seal-like sound! In saying that, she makes all sorts of unusual noises when the fancy takes her! :D
She weighs 12 kilos.
That's Basenji size at 26lbs. My first was some kind of mix too. Large curly tail and thick fur. Never barked. Heck of a watch dog though. Very protective and tough. She minded really well! She was given to me at 6 months old and lived to be 17-1/2.

Wow, Dan. She is gorgeous and sounded like a fantastic dog. :) Very similar to Roxy in many ways, looks-wise. However, Roxy is one of the softest dogs I have ever met. She would lick burglers to death, not before requesting a tummy tickle! :rolleyes:

Roxy is goegeous, what a great mix. I love her tail..she looks very friendly..

When I was moving from that very place in 1983 I told a friend to go over and have a look at the place and see if he wanted to take it over. The yard ran all the way around. When I saw him the next day I asked how he liked it and he said he couldn't get in the yard because of the dog. :D Good job Nipper!!

Wow I got to say that's the only dog I've found that I fancy prettier than a "real" basenji :)

Hi-
I'm considering adapting a Basenji, Border Collie mix, but I really dont want a dog that sheds a lot. Can you telling me a little bit about what you're seeing in your dog, like what ccharacteristics from each breed you're seeing?Thanks
