whoa he is a adorable… and looks like he would be the life of the party! Congratulations on your new family!

Can't wait see hear of his DNA, I've got my money on Chihuahua too.

@agilebasenji - thank you for the advice. I'm actually not looking for a "super athlete" of a dog, just a healthy one with a good temperament, maybe just a breeder that encourages sports.

Congratulations on your dog's accomplishments! I would love to share notes about your experience when I'm ready.

It's kind of funny how the breed attracts big dog people. I never thought I would ever consider a small dog, but here I am, maybe its the intelligences that we find attractive?

Thanks again for sharing your experiences and insights everyone

That's such a cool story, thanks for sharing it. I guess sometimes the best discoveries are by accident I'm so happy that Bitty was lucky enough to have you find her!

Still looking around at breeders and I've been thinking about getting my B from one that does agility or lure courses with their dogs. My children are getting older and are going to spend more time building their own lives so I figured where I used to go to ball games and dance competitions with them, that time will now go towards having fun with "the new kid" at his sporting events.

Hello Basenji Forum Gang!

I thought I had life with my furry friends figured out, until I met a Basenji at a friends house and I became obsessed with learning more about the breed. You folks have some pretty cool dogs!

Back story: I love and have been "owned" by one or more German Shepards for the last thirty years of my life, and thought there were never be another breed for me until I met Jinx, the basenji a couple months ago. I had just lost my precious boy Max to bloat a few months prior so I probably really needed some doggie cheering up and Jinx was more happy to oblige, he jumped right into my arms to greet me. Its been almost a year since my Max has been gone I'm feeling like it's time start to consider bringing a new friend into the home and I'd like to know more about your little guys to see if the breed is right for me. Looking forward to getting to know you and your "babies"
