@elbrant - my phone Is native danish and it playes tricks on me when I write in other languages. I should have said ‘activity’.

@donc - what in interesting post. My second favourite dog is The rhodesian ridgeback️

@eledhan I’m new to Basenji - but dang that forehead is pretty Basenji.

When it comes to the typical Basenji personality - I can’t make that fit with our Basenji. She is from a danish breeder and with my breeding knowledge from other dogs - specifics can vary quit a bit. Anyway our little Basenji is overly social, kind hearted and very willing to please. She does not go Basenji500 and loves other dogs - even when the do not love her back. BUT she is sooo typical in other ways digs, spurts and loves to track. AND she has no dog-typical signes for being nervous - she would NEVER lie down to show that she is submisive to other dogs. I think that is the most typical Basenji thing for me.

I so understand why you would want to know what kind of dog you have - it can make training so much more presice AND fun for you and your dog... Maybe just go with click training and positive reinforsments (if that is not what you are allready doing) That is often recomentet for Basenji - I absolutly love training with this technic. SO MUCH FUN!

Any way - what a BEAUTIFUL and CUT pup!!

@morsesa - Thanx! I believe that too. Nice to get that reconfermed!

@elbrant - offcourse. We do not feed our Basenji with a bowl - only antivirus based feeding.

I should have written ‘snuffle mat’ and ‘lick mat’. A snuffle mat is like a long haired carpet that you hide food inside, so that your dog has to snif his way to the food - this really stimulates your dogs brains and sences. The Lick mat makes your dog lick it’s food and licking again stimulates brain and sences. There are sooo many og these kinds of activating feeding products. Kongs - are allso amaising. Try youtubing these products. If my dog was Basenji500 I would give her a lick mat with frosen yougurt️

@allanc I grew up with Great Danes - ha ha ha - talk about heavy!

@zande I really like your thinking. Thanx!

Try to stimalte his brain not his inner beast - our Basenji loves smugle Mats and licking Mats. Makes her so carm and relaxed.

@elbrant THNX - makes so much sence. We running is more of a faster walk with all the breaks our pup takes - the whole world smells soooo fantastic;-)

Hi there

We have an allmost 5 mounth Basenji - too cute and loves to run. We live in Copenhagen, Denmark where we have lots of parks and forrests. When we go for walks, we some time run a bit. Like walk 200 meter, snif around, then run 300 meter, then chace of 50 meter, walk, snif, run and so on. AND SHE LOVES IT!

Is this ok? We are worried, because we herr people saying ‘no running before 12 mounth’. What do you all think?
