Sorry for the multiple posts–for some reason, it wouldn't let me stick them all together on one post...?

hi! welcome!

awww…. post pics as soon as you get them! we love puppy pics!!!!!! and i'll second that welcome to the forum (even though i'm a brand-new addition myself...)!

My basenji mix girls definitely got the tp trait…. The older one (Sasha) likes the stuff, and will sometimes steal a paper towel or kleenex if you aren't watching.... But my baby girl (Macey) LOVES THE STUFF..... She occasionally will snatch it out of your hands (even as your hand is in route to use it on the toilet), but that's only if she hasn't had her "rations" in a while and she's upset about it. Usually, when she hears the tp roll moving or sees it in your hands, she'll promptly sit like a good girl and look expectantly and very intently at it, expecting you to hand it over for a treat. If you don't, it's like she makes a mental note and next time you need some tp, it's HERS.... However, she is a fair-minded girl. If you tear off ONE sheet and offer it to her as a peace offering, she'll tear it up in the bathroom or hallway by herself and let you use as much as you need without being bothered again.... hahaha.... She knows how to bargain, that's for sure!!!!

Hi everyone! My name's Jan, and I discovered this forum while doing some research on basenji behavioral traits…

My Basenji story begins when my fiance' had been looking for a dog for his mother (who lives alone), specifically an Akita. I was browsing Petfinder.com and came upon a 10 week old "Akita" mix at a local shelter.... We ran down the very next day to see her, and though she wasn't an "Akita," we still fell in love with her. I pressured Mike to keep her for a few weeks to begin work on housetraining for his mom, and it was all over after that--we were hooked on her! We named her Sasha, and as she grew up, her legs just kept on growing!!! We figured out rather quickly that she was part Basenji, and she also displayed many of the traits of one (using her paws like hands, being INCREDIBLY smart, and the way she trots is exactly like a Basenji, just to name a few).

When she turned a year old in January, we began to want to find her a playmate. We knew we were looking for another Basenji or Basenji mix, so we began scouring the shelters again, along with craigslist ads. We came upon a listing for Macey, who is a 5 month old Basenji mix (she looks even more like a Basenji than Sasha!). She just moved in last week, and already Sasha and Macey are inseparable....

They act just like each other, and it's so cute to watch!!!! I know they aren't pure Basenji's, but they keep the funny stories coming just like their full-blooded cousins!

I think I have more pictures of Sasha than I'll ever take of my firstborn human child, but I'll try to be selective of the ones I post here so you all won't die of boredom! haha.... Since Macey is a new addition, I don't have as many pics of her yet, but I will soon!!! My avatar is from the ride home when we picked Macey up. Macey is on the right, and Sasha is on the left....

I've also attached some pictures of the girls... The pictures are of Sasha first, until you get to the one with both of them, then it's Macey.... I hope it's okay to post in this forum, even though the girls aren't pure-bred or anything.... Well, I'm looking forward to meeting all of you and learning a lot!!!
