Dear Tekkster, you really should have experience, or else the many problems that arise from an untrained human result in a very fustrated Basenji!!! If you want entertainment, I just happened to have recently run into a lady with two hairless dogs. Talk about being entertained! The care needed is just like your own skin, lotion and sunblock, and putting clothes on them is recommended! Read the treads on this site and BRAT. Sooooooo many B's are given up by untrained and inexperienced humans! Good Luck in your search!
Basenji Mix
-
I have rescued a dog that appears to be a Basenji mix. I already have 3 dogs and they are all older. This puppy wants to play all the time and she is upsetting my other dogs. I want to find her a good home as she seems very smart and gets on well with other dogs and cats. I think she would be a great agility dog because of her energy. I live in Houston, Texas and was hoping someone her could direct me to perhaps a good no kill rescue? Here are some pics.![alt text]( image url)
I can be contacted at suecoo@me.com Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you go to www.basenjirescue.org they have a link for possible Basenji mixes, I would say to try them

She's really lovely. hope you find her a home soon...or keep working her hard until she settles down.

@susanlvs2jmp As others have said BRAT is a great resource. You should also keep working with her because Basenjis are extremely intelligent and she will want to bond with YOU as you are the Leader of the Pack. I would not give up on her so soon, she may become a fantastic companion for your other dogs.
Please rethink giving her away!

This pup did find a home through BRAT, and she has moved to MT.
