Very cute, don't see much Basenji there, but all are welcome

She's a Basenji mix, we have yet to figure out what she is mixed with though.

Looks like the pictures didn't post. Let me try again…

Good morning!

I'd like to introduce myself and my first dog Luna. My name is Josh, I'm 27, and I work in the medical research field.

Our beautiful new dog is Luna. She's a Basenji mix. I had never actually heard of a Basenji until we brought her to a few pet stores. We got her from the a local animal control center. What drew me to her out of all of the other dogs there was that she wasn't making a sound. Which after research Basenjis, I now understand why. She does bark, but in 3 days she's only let out 4 barks. 1 because she was excited to go on her 2nd walk with us and the 3 barks were when she was letting my wife/daughter know that someone was here (which it was me coming home from work).

The local animal control shelter was horribly wrong about her statistics, they stated that she was a German Shepherd mix (wrong), 6 months old (wrong - 1-2 years old), Microchipped (wrong), 25 lbs (wrong - 41 lbs). This could be common among animal control shelters, but it was my first venture into one.

It's early, we've only had her for 3 days, but we are completely in love with her. We absolutely love the breed and couldn't imagine owning anything different.

I apologize if the pictures don't post correctly. This is also my first time joining a forum. Let me know if they are not viewable and I will reattempt.

Thanks so much and I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and their beautiful dogs!
