Kembe’s “boyfriend” is a big blue Pit-bull named Jax! She absolutely loves him and it’s funny to watch her flirt with him!

My Kembe only became aggressive towards some other dogs when she was attacked by a large dog that was not leashed. However, there are some dogs that she does like both big and small and also some dogs that she doesn’t like . She doesn’t back down - no matter the size if she dislikes the dog.
As for squirrels and rabbits - she is focused & relentless - goes into STEALTH MODE! She has killed 2 squirrels while on leash - she is FAST.
Wow!!! Beatrice is an beautiful young lady! She’s a very elegant & attractive dog! Happy 5th Birthday Bee!

This is exactly why we LOVE our BASENJIS - what you’re describing is so cute! My Kembe also sleeps in our bed and she has a bedtime ritual too! ️
I found out many years ago that my Basenji is allergic to turkey. She broke out in big welts and hive all over her body . I brought her to the vet because she had a slight temperature and she scratched herself until she bled. Vet gave her an antihistamine. Needless to say, I do NOT feed her turkey.
Last summer she was stung by a bee in the face. Her face blew up and was swollen. I gave her Benadryl and watched her carefully - swelling went down.

Definitely see BASENJI in these Pics! Her face looks like my purebred Basenji - Kembe! She is a cutie!
I wish my Basenji liked the water. We have a summer camp on a reservoir - my Kembe will NOT go into the water. She loves our pontoon boat, she loves to sun bath - but refuses to go into the lake. Be happy that your Basenji likes the water!
OMG! Whatever she is - she is ADORABLE! Looks like she’s full of mischief! Congratulations! Best wishes for a happy life together! She is BEAUTIFUL!

Regardless of what he is - he is beautiful! You are both lucky to have found each other! He does look part Basenji to me! Congratulations on your new pup!
Omg! He is so CUTE! THe 3rd photo definately looks part Basenji to me. The characteristics you describe are Basenji. DNA test would validate your suspensions. Regardless - beautiful baby! Congratulations!
