@scraplover72 Oh my goodness. He is an absolute L-O-V-E.
And please don't waste your money on DNA breed testing. They, in fact, can NOT tell you anything for sure. They are simply recreational commercial exercises.
Enjoy your special boy!

I have three from the same litter: 2 boys and 1 girl. They have lived together since their first breath and they are now 10 and 1/2 years old. The boys are kept separate but the girl can be easily with either. This arrangement has never been a problem. In fact, each of the 3 are tightly bonded with the humans .... much more so than each other. But they live very easily with each other of different sex.

Anne, I hope she brings you much joy. Did she come through a shelter or through a breeder? That would help to know her story.
How old is she?
Please do share pictures.
Thanks.

Sammm, are you the first placement home for Laika? It would be good information to know whether her breeder attempted previous placements for her and what happened there. This group is great about helping find solutions. Hang in there with her!

She is cute as a button! Enjoy her for who she is (not what she might be).

I've just seen on FaceBook a new group dedicated to the American Basenji Club, which is the breed parent club for UKC.

Those of you on FB who are interested in UKC, here is the link :

Does anybody read and/or purchase the breed specific magazines sold in most pet shops and pet supply stores? For example: Dog World, Dogs USA, Puppies USA, Dog Fancy.
When you got your Basenji, did you seek out information about the breed in any of these kinds of magazines?
Did any of these magazine have any value to you when you were looking for information about Basenjis? If so, in what way?
Do they now?

She is really beautiful! Who are her sire and dam?

That is so cool! What is the app?
You could do so much with that. What fun.
