Considering adopting a Basenji/Shiba Inu mix

I also agree with having two, or three, or ????
Actually I think getting a dog every 5 years is best. It seems to spread the ages out well. That way the two youner ones can play and leave 15/16 year old dog at peace. Also, for performance dogs, one will be retired, one at his prime and one up-and-coming.
I'd say, get dog #1 and train him so that he's a joy for you to live with before getting another. Because dog #2 will learn from #1 and they learn the bad stuff soooo much quicker than the good stuff.

I think two in the household is much better than one - most of the difficult problems, like separation anxiety, went away when I got a sister (basenji/collie mix) for my basenjji female. I know most people here say female/female is not a good mix because one can eventually think the other must go, but I've seen none of that with my two. Please do put pictures on the site when you have your mix - bet that mixture is adorable.

Welcome!
Would you be getting Swiper the Americas Basenji Rescue?
I would talk to the foster parents/organization. I generally agree that two is better than one, but there are some dogs out there that are not pack dogs. I would see what they recommend. -

You are all so helpful! Yes, I know this rescue dog has been living with other dogs and gets along well with them. My female shiba was very agressive towards other females. My sister has a lab mix, much larger than a shiba, but my shiba dominated her ruthlessly.

I know this is an old post but I have a 8 month old basenji shiba mix (we call him a shasenji) He just began shedding and quite a bit but has never before. He gets along really well with other dogs but we were very dedicated to socializing him. I do think he would do better with another dog in the house because he is always looking to play and gets destructive when there is no one to play with him. He is very pretty and makes all the cute basenji sounds and we love him!

Are you sure that black/white dog has Shiba in it?

He is so cute! Are you sure there's shiba in there? He looks all basenji except perhaps the tail is fluffier.

He does look like he could be PB. Where did you get him from?

You guys, Mambo's owner already posted pictures of his pup's parents in his intro thread here. He is a confirmed shiba/basenji mix. Perhaps, for obvious reasons, I remember this one pretty well. ;)
Hope Mambo's doing well!
