i am so sorry to see this. i always enjoyed your stories about Perry.

Awwww . . .

I used to link 2 15foot leads together.

there's been one listed on Craigslist that might be worth looking at:

I know nothing about this dog - good, bad or otherwise, just saw that it was being listed.

Otherwise, I'd recommend going to basenji.org and looking for breeder contacts there. Contact a few and see if they can help you

welcome. can't wait to hear more of your adventures with a new basenji puppy! if you go to the basenji club of america website, you might can find a good breeder close to you and visit.

welcome and i do hope we haven't lost our new friend. i think all new posters are moderated because of all the spam that has hit this board in the past. there's lots of good info on the internet about kids and dogs, but Dr Yin is one of the best:

i am so sorry. i lost 2 basenjis about a year apart - i felt like i was just starting to get things together again so i can imagine how you must feel. i hope your new 2 basenjis are giving you lots to do and keeping your heart from breaking too much

Oh i am so sorry Debra. it's never long enough and always such a blow when it's unexpected. even if it's unexpected because you're in denial (been there). and it's always hard when you have fought so hard to keep them here. kidney disease is such a nasty thing. so sorry.

i'm not sure, the write up says she doesn't have white feet or white on the tail. I actually prefer less white too.

@giza1:

My "job" with BRAT is to search the internet rescue sites daily looking for Basenjis and high mixes who may need help. One of the determining factors I always use is to see if the dog has hints of the Irish pattern (white on the feet, belly, chest, and tail tip). I don't think there's a Basenji mix without it. On the other hand, it seems many dogs with Irish white and large, prick ears are designated as "Basenji" by the shelters. Most aren't, but there are certainly some, and they always have a "look". I think that the dog that this thread was originally about is definitely part Basenji.

Check out Okapi on the Colorado Basenji Rescue website. I've always thought the Irish marking gene was pretty strong, but Okapi sure looks mostly basenji. I also think the OP's dog is quite possibly a b-mix. either way, very cute
