    They are getting along as well as any dogs. Actually there has never been a real fight Lizzy is such a good natured dog that zoe can growl and fuss all she wants but lizzy just tries to get her to play until they are both running all over the house. Zoe still has times when she doesnt want to share her people but she is better about food. She never had a problem sharing her toys, though Lizzy has chewed most of them up. I have had to throw away 2 ducks a few balls and a rope pull. At some point today one of them found my daughters swim mask and I caught them playing tug of war with it.
    Right now they are in thier usual spots Liz at my feet and zoe curled against my back.
    Any way as it gets colder the more dogs the better right. I still want that second B for those 3 dog nights :).

    of course I'm comfortable

    I used Wisdom Panel for my assumed Basenji mix. It showed no basenji at all. My boy is 32 lbs and short hair. His DNA says he is 25% American Eskimo 12.5% Boston Terrier 12.5% Chow Chow 12.5% German Shepherd 12.5% Miniature Schnauzer 25% Breed Group-Sporting, Herding, Hound, Terrier. Having owned basenjis all my life I would say my boy has basenji in him by his personality and behavior regardless of what his dna says!!

    @doggonecrazy said in Meet Rambo!: Did you check for connected toes? Also, I would like to know a reputable dog DNA company who includes Basenji in their database. Typically, the more dogs in their testing, the more accurate. Thus far, Mars Wisdom Panel 3 has the largest group, including basenji and coyote and breeds most the others don't, making it the most affordable and most accurate UNLESS you want to pay out $200. In which case the newer Embark seems truly spectacular. Whatever you use, make sure they have basenji in their data bank. Most don't. http://www.dogbreedidentifier.com/embark-dog-dna-test-revi…/ http://www.theverge.com/…/embark-dog-dna-startup-disease-ri… http://fortune.com/2015/06/25/dog-dna-tests/

    @Lovelace: Really? What ones? I don't know of any that have all the criteria? I've done extensive research on the breeds, and i'm curious I don't recall any. I think Pat means lots of dogs have one or more of these traits. Those three things all together MAY be an indication that the dog does have some basenji in it…but not for sure. Because the dog could be a boxer/husky mix...and end up with right color/markings, pointy ears, a curly tail, and have wrinkle on the forehead (lots of dogs have wrinkles around the face). Rat terriers are notorious for looking like Basenjis...but the shape of their head is slightly different, and the breed was founded using some Basenji way back. Another thing to remember is that after several generations of mixing, all dogs tend to go back to a natural or pariah dog shape...squarish, brown, pointy ears, slightly curled tail...that is just the natural phenotype of "dog"...so a dog might end up looking Basenji-ish even if there is no actual Basenji there. I am not refering specifically to the OP...that dog does look like it might have some Basenji in it..or Rat terrier...but it is REALLY hard to say for sure. It doesn't matter really, because everyone is welcome here...Basenji, mix, B-look alike...welcome...

    Nexa is full af. and she is very cautious in new situations. She is curious and wants to say hi to every dog or person we see, but if they approach her she will back away. The introductions have to go at her pace. We were on a walk the other day and she was desperate to investigate a cat laying in someone’s driveway. She just stood there staring at the cat from 5-6 feet away, as soon the cat came towards her she tucked her tail and ran like it was a lion after her. The cat might have weighed 8 pounds wet. She is wary, but with her curiosity she just can’t let things go.

    @tanza: And he still loves (or I should say) his Big Sister, Crystal still thinks he is pretty cool… LOL.... Thanks Andrea.... Andrea?... will you make the Nationals? I am really hoping to. My tentative plan right now is to fly out with just Ethan, and maybe one dog. Then Ethan can stay with my sister in Portola Valley, and I can just enjoy the National :) Tim has offered to stay home with the dogs, to save money…but he may change his mind by the time it actually rolls around :) We had originally planned to drive across with ALL dogs, and Ethan...and quickly realized that kind of roadtrip with a three year old would be insanity!
