@katzmeow I just wanted to say that since becoming a member, only yesterday, I'm so excited that I found this forum!
What a wonderful place this is! There is so much here to read and learn, so much information, and I have tons of questions!
But I'll read the guides before I bombard you all with a bunch of questions.
You ALL are great and every single dog pictured here is SO beautiful.

So far, everything I've read and know about the Basenji, there is a lot to be said for them. They're a special breed of dog! I love it.

My sweet baby - she looks part Basenji to me, what do you all think?

She sure is pretty. I'll leave it to the experts here on the forum to answer whether or not she has Basenji in her, but it looks possible to me!

I don 't know either, but he sure is a good looking dog.

I know this is an old topic, but when my Stella plays, she can get a little aggressive too. she's drawn blood a few times!

She's probably a little over a year old now; It didn't take long at all to train her to stop, all I have to do is tell her 'no biting' and she'll stop. She also loves to lick my wounds and bite off the scab that SHE made.

Hello and welcome! I am new to this forum as well.

Enjoy!

Whoops! I didn't realize the pictures are so big.

Hi! I am new to the forum as of today! I'm excited to be here.
My daughter and I were finally ready to adopt a dog, so she went to our local Humane Society and she picked up our Stella. She is AMAZING!
Stella was a stray brought in from Puerto Rico after their disastrous hurricane, and she was told that she's a Basenji Mix. I believe it! She doesn't have the curled tail over the back though.
I'm pretty sure she is from what i have read and all of the pictures I've seen of this breed. Can you confirm for me?

@basenjimom2 Merry Christmas to you and yours too!
I am so so sorry for your loss.

Mohawk? wow, I want to see that!
Do you have pics posted?

@crazysenji said in Breeder MIA:

Sure you can message me. You deserve to know if there is no puppy for you this year. Keeping you in limbo isn’t right. I’m hoping the breeder is still evaluating puppies and just hasn’t contacted everyone yet.

That seems odd to me, especially after putting down a deposit?

@dreamskape said in My Basenji mix....:

not really destructive but he has a habit of ripping up the tissue paper in the bathroom waste basket into tiny little pieces.

Mine does the same thing! It's crazy.

LOL and she can't get enough of outdoor trashcans and dumspters!
nose to the ground. always.

I love those front paws crossed, so dainty!

Ok. that sounds reasonable for a DNA test. I'm curious what percentage of Basenji she is, but I doubt I'll actually do the test because it doesn't really matter. I love her so MUCH and from everything I've read and from all of you (great posts by the way) she's at least part Basenji.

My silly Stella can always be found sniffing around in the kitchen when we're cooking, which brings me to ask- is that a Basenji trait, always begging when there is food? or is that just Stella.
She loves taking my napkins or kleenex and tearing them to shreds.
She has such personality! she does love to jump up in the air when she knows she's going out and she loves to run as fast as she can.
Do they like to swim? I haven't had her in the water yet.

What ever she is, she's beautiful!

She sure is pretty. I'll leave it to the experts here on the forum to answer whether or not she has Basenji in her, but it looks possible to me!

I don 't know either, but he sure is a good looking dog.

@debradownsouth Thank you Debra.

Beautiful pictures!
