oh -please dont leave.. I just got home and read your note and am looking forward to sharing with you .. I have had Kitchi for 4 months .. she is Basenji Cattle dog mix from Arkansas to minnesota. Really knew nothing about basenjis 4 months ago.Humane society called her Cattle dog mix .. within days I saw her Egyptian stance ..and began reading.
Must rush away now . many stories to tell .. let me say one .. I have learned rather than pull her when she is "stuck" /// I just 'reset' her physically ... pick her up a little (even just partially) and move her about one foot .. I say it "shifts her gears" .. it seems to work !

@martianmaya22 I will be watching responses to your question ! As I also believe I have a Basenji mix ... and .. a mix with an Australian Cattle Dog !
I got Kitchi from St Paul Mn Humane society on Oct 15th ... her name was SEES and she came from Arkansas. They said she was born April 15th ... but someone did the math wrong as her medical records show she had her first puppy shot on March 1st. I gave her a December 15th birthday.
Kitchi can bark but seldom does. Not so sure about the yodel sound. She definitely has forehead wrinkles. I think she still weighs 38 pounds.
A strange trait is "studying" the choice of directions to go when we come to an intersection. We live in Minneapolis residential area with a creek 1/2 block away and 8 blocks to walk along a nature path.
Her strangeness both delights me and wears me down.
Chewing is her addiction.
I cannot imagine her ever being able to not wear a collar and leash. (but she is still very young)
I expect her Embark DNA results in a few weeks.
I look forward to chatting with you and reading the comments of others !!
I wish I knew how to enter a photo here !
