Not a basenji, but…

Show Off Your Dog
  • I joined about a month ago and I am so very glad that I did. I love reading all of the informative information everyone on here has to provide and even though my issue is still on going I refuse to give up hope. I just recently brought a new edition into my home and although she is not a basenji I know everyone will still appreciate her cuteness! I attempted to join a frenchie forum but upon reading posts and what not I just find this one to be way more 'home-y'. Having that said I may be here to stay with my one basenji, one frenchie, 2 himalayans and an alpha female tiger cat! Hope you enjoy the pics and hopefully be able to help with puppy questions soon!

  • Aww too cute !! Love the ears :) Thanks for sharing

  • Sooo Cute! Love the face!

  • What a love!!! Will she change her colour or is that the same as the adult coat

  • What a sweetie… I have always loved Frenchies....

  • She is a cutie. Next to Bs I think I love the bull dogs.

    I know what you mean about other forums when my sons dog was here I joined a lab forum but I just couldnt get into it. I figured it was because my true love is for the Bs but as you mentioned this forum just seem so much more homey and welcoming. I would also say people seem more helpful here.

  • What a beautiful little baby :)

  • Thank you for all of your comments! Yes, I actually joined 2 of them, earlier in the week. One of them just now sent me my activation email and the other one, the most recent post was like last week! I would absolutely die if I posted something and had to wait a week to hear back something! And Patty, yes that is her forever coat. Her ear will continue to get more prominent like the Bs too:)

  • She is an adorable little thing! French Bulldogs always peak my curiosity when I see them. They look like they have tons of character.

  • After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    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.

    @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...

    We got Killian from a breeder in Ohio–-Jim Edgerton. That's where he had gotten our previous male basenji. We took Logan and Jasmine to his place and looked at several 1 year olds and a puppies and Jasmine eliminated the others and we agreed with her pick.
