Three Good Basenjis

Basenji Talk
  • MacPackM

    After three hours playing at the dog park today, we decided to stop at an "event" at a local park, "Talking Animals". There was music, animal themed songs, and about 20 booths representing everything from different rescue groups to jewelry, a dog sketch artist (wish I had her do one of Topper), agility demos, all sorts of things. Almost everyone had their dog with them and we only saw a couple of snarks. My three were wonderful, sniffing noses and meet-and-greet with many dogs and kids. We were the only basenjis and a few people recognized the breed and they were good ambassadors. We got some food samples, a tennis ball, treat samples, and best if all we got a $10 coupon from our local pet food store, yea!

    My three old guys have slept all afternoon after all their excitement at the doggie-fair!

    What an awesome sounding day! Sounds like you all had a really great time. Can you scan the sketch? We'd all love to see it.

    What a fun time. Those are great events. We have them here, but the last one was not as organized as yours sounds it was. Still, people put in effort, and the dogs always seem to enjoy the get-together.

    Sorry Dan, I wish I HAD gotten a sketch done, but sadly did not. Only regret of the day! My guys were hot and ready to go home.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    What breed makes a good match with the basenji?

    The RR is a bit too big.. Sorry :D Although the Paraoh hound is the same size.. I do like them… And the Podengo Medio.. (sorry no Grande.. ;)) is nice as well. If I could 'just' add a dog without really considering size etc it would be a Pharaoh hound.. or another b.. :D :D

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
