I have had the pleasure of owning both breeds. There is another forum member here who also has a basenji and a Shiba. Lol, they are both very stubborn breeds. Depending on what you want they are very different though. Shibas need a lot of care for grooming, they blow a lot of coat and can get matted fur, on the other hand they make a very good watch dog. Basenjis don't bark but make a multitude of other noises. Their coat is nice and short for less grooming, though they too blow coat, just not as bad as a Shiba. They both maintain puppy characteristics their whole lives and live long lives. I think our Shiba was 16 when we lost her. Both need a lot of socialization, with both people and dogs. This is a must. Good luck with whatever breed you choose. Look at parents for temperament and do your reading on health problems and make sure you adopt from a reputable breeder.

My childrens karate teacher was from Russia and his wife. There 1st child born in Russia but second was born here in U.S. Yuriy very cool we would be doing something in class and he would stop and say that must be the american way. He would tell us american way better in lots of ways and not so good in others.

Betty is black white. It is very clever and devoted friend. It feels everything: when i'm sad, when i'm happy, when i'm angry… It always makes me to calm down. So..the best friend is the silence.
That's my dog. -
Betty is beautiful and looks so calm and happy. Your very lucky for such a sweet baby. That is nice that she knows your mood and goes with it that is great. Have you had Betty since she was a baby? Thank you for posting the picture.
