WHAT a beauty your Ellie is!!!! Thanks for sharing her with us!

@mrscastro please let us know when you start the group...I seriously want to join, but also PLEASE keep us posted on THIS site on how your little beauty is doing!!!!!

@kembe I'm in!!!! I love all "senjis" so sign me up!!!!!

@mrscastro Don't worry about typos OR tears. Just about everyone here has lost their beloved canine family member and a piece of their human heart with them. The pain is big because the love is big. Please be comforted by the thought that a sweet soul that God created completely out of love with be waiting for you, and like all my dogs has probably already put in a good word for you with the Lord. Sending love and comfort to you in this difficult time.

@caaaitlinann She is a BEAUTIFUL girl, Basenji or not. I got started on Basenjis years ago when my husband and I adopted a rescue who was described as a "Shepard/collie mix". She was just a tiny pup. Well as she grew, our vet said, "what you have here is a half Basenji and maybe half Shiba Inu!" She never barked and had a have circle tail like yours and she had ALL the Basenji behaviors. After that whenever we moved to a new state and got a new vet, they ALL said "Half Basenji!" When our dear Goldie passed away at 13 years, we decided to get a full blooded Basenji and the rest is history (History that involves us being servants of various Basenji, that is!). Let us know what your DNA tests say. We love all Basenjis, part Basenjis and even Basenji wannabes here. You adore her and so do we!!!!!

@morsesa Who made you the Basenji police? It is inappropriate for you to attempt to dictate here of all places what someone else should do. If a dog is half Basenji and half something else, then it is half Basenji. WHATEVER is wrong with an accurate description???? This pup is loved and adored as ALL dogs should be, part Basenji or not!!!! We look after one another here.

Binti, my female, started getting pink tummy and paws with lots of licking. Our wonderful Basenji-saavy vet suspected allergies and prescribed Apoquel. That did the trick. Since it was only her tummy and paws, I suspected she was coming in contact with the offending material when she squatted to pee. Now I wipe her tummy and paws off when she comes in, and she has come to love the extra grooming. Especially since I give her a little paw massage with each foot. No recurrences since...fingers and paws crossed.

@italeigha Binti will wear her raincoat and go for walks in light rain...but NO dice if it is pouring.

@kembe Thanks! She is the light of my life (if you can't tell!)

Trident is a PERFECT name for your beautiful boy!!!! He is perfect! Thanks for sharing his pictures.

He is SO beautiful!!!! Congratulations on your new family addition. He looks like some Basenji in there, but we love all Basenjis...even if they are simply Basenji wannabes!!!!! Welcome to the group!

Hi! And welcome! Since we all adore Basenji pictures, can you share one of your best friend? Mine is Binti age 10 ,a rescue who is sleeping in her favorite corner on her favorite blanket with the Froggy who is her favorite sleeping companion in this spot!

@tanza It isn't easy to convince them that this is THEIR idea, but we keep trying! LOL!!!

Binti used to hate it, now she lies against me and we do "paw"dicures at the ratio of one paw completed, one high value treat. She is focused on getting the treat, plus she knows now that the grinder won't hurt her-I don't let it grind very much without a break for the nail to cool off from the friction. So 4 paws, 4 trats, plus and "we're all finished-Good girl" treat!!!

If you don't have your hearts set on a Basenji puppy, please go to Basenji Rescue and Transport where you can view Basenjis available for adoption. Basenjis are often given up for death of an owner or moving to a non-pet facility. And some are given up because the owner only heard "They don't bark and they don't shed" and did not do the research required to be a Basenji owner. My current Basenji and light of my life, Binti, was given up because she was "vicious" (She did play bows and shook up the corner of the comforter...both activities that owner interpreted as wanting to attack him. Luckily, the foster said "bring Binti right back!" because she knew this guy should not have ANY dog , let alone a Basenji.) All of my Basenjis were rescues and I could not have asked for better dogs, companions and friends.

Thanks for sharing Zulu!!!! What a gorgeous puppy! And I see there is an equally gorgeous sibling!!!!

My first Basenji climbed out of her gated area(about3 feet high) when she was probably 12 weeks old, went and pooped in the living room, then climbed back in!

What a lovely and apparently chill Basenji your girl is! She definitely conducts hrself like the Queen she is. Hail Queen Ellie!!!

What fun!!!! Hours of Basenji play time!!!!

@kembe Thank you. I was always partial to the red and whites myself, but when Ronney and I went out to meet and adopt this little black and white Princess, it was love at first Baroo!!!! I am like you, now I love ALL basenjis and think they are all beautiful. Binti takes excellent care of me since my Ronney passed away in April. We are a steadfast pack of two!!!!
