My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
Basenjis and sunburn
-
I was going to add this on as a comment on another post, but thought it more fair to post it on its own.
Has anyone had any sunburn problems with their basenjis? I'm curious, as their coats are so minimal.
-
sometimes on the muzzle or belly, but never severe.

2 of mine get pink on the white patch right before their nose - I put sunscreen on them. My 3rd has thicker fur so she doesn't need sunscreen.

My Kristii had very, very short hair… never had a problem with sunburn in her 15+ years

My first Basenji had pink nose which would blister and scab from the summer sun. I used to get it tattooed black but it would peal and lose the black and scab up again. The vet said to keep the dog out of the sun. Yeah right! Good luck on that one.

Isn't that the truth. :D:D:D
