I think I read that Basenji's are on duty at night. Protecting. They want to sleep with their back to you, so they can be ready to protect you. It could be that the doxy alarms the basenji. Just a thought.

Hi, My Zoe is a B mix also. She is 1/2 Jack Russel, 1/2 Basenji. She is a great pooch. What type of mix is your pup?

Zoe's tail is curled when she wags, which is a lot! It looks adorable.

You have a beautiful pup. I've read that a Basenji can run 35mph sustained for a long distance.:)

That's funny, because isn't the breed from Africa?

Hi, could you tell me where in Florida you are? I know there are several dog parke in St Pete, but I am now in Ft Myers. Is your park in this area?

Thanks, I am very lucky to have her, she's so sweet with such a loving nature. But she does like to hunt, and last night roughed up a little oposson in the back yard. It did get away, with my help. Do other Basenji's like to herd? When Zoe went to a dog run in St Pete, she ran all the dogs to a tree, and kept them there as long as they would put up with it. It was hillarious!

Zoe is only 1/2 Basenji and does bark. But she also has a strange sound I'm not sure about. It's a strange yell. Is that a Basenji howl? It almost sounds human.

I'm trying to get a few pics of Zoe up. I'm not too savvey in the tech area.

I am Terry from Florida. My dog is so adorable. She is 1/2 Basenji & 1/2 rough coat Jack Russel. She's white and fawn, going on 4 years old. She does bark, has a curled tail, furrowed brow, and is so beautiful. I got her at aspca in Fl. she was 10 months old, and very timid. She cowered at any loud noise, was afraid of men, and couldn't stand the word "come or bad." She cowered and tucked her tail. It was heartbreaking. Now she is so happy! We are very well bonded. She's come such a long way, and I'm very proud of her.
