  • hi everyone
    we just got a 4 month black/white fem about a month ago,a little back round history first,we also have 2 black labs,we been in search of another dog because or sheba (oldest lab) which we have for 9 yrs (was 8 months old when we got her) is now suffering with nerve/hip problems which is not making much use out of one of her rear legs,we know its only time b4 we need to do the unthinkable, she still gets around good so its ok now,our 2nd lab silky came into the picture about a 11/2 yrs ago (got both dogs from rescue) she was about 21/2 yrs old when we got her,prior to sliky we had a english bull terrier name honey,got her from rescue also cant even begin to tell you her condition when we got her only tell tell you she became one of the biggest loves one could ever have and was shebas sole mate parse but after 6 years she fell to seizures, and had to be put down 11/2 years ago,sheba was lost so we got her sliky which now the 2 you cant separate,again the tables are turning,we figured we get another dog while sheba is still her and the 2 can teach her the ways, and a basenji was just what we were looking for,almost the same temperament as the bull terrier who could ask for more lol ,it amazing how well the all get along,she sure does give silky a good workout :)

    @suztor: Thanks so much for the feedback, I'm playing with a new camera lens and will be posting new pictures as soon as I can! funny that you mention rat. I've been doing research because she really doesn't fully fit the basenji profile but it turns out I'm pretty convinced she's a Rat Terrier mix but has very strong and big jaws that don't match…. I found an image of a rat basenji mix who's face looks very similar to hers.... So at the moment that's where I'm putting my money... Thoughts? and it doesn't really so much matter what she is as far as how much I'll love her (i've got that part down solid), but it's more so I can find the best way to train her

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!
