    My name is Rocky and I was two years old on Oct. 9, 2011. I am spoiled rotten, extremely stubborn, but highly intelligent. I do not follow commands well at all unless it was something I wanted to do anyway. The one thing I do on command is "Smile" cause it just seems to make my mom so very happy to see my "pearly whites!" Gotta give her some joy in her life, huh?? Also, I do not do baths!!

    Thank you all for the sweet comments about our boy.. He is an extremely interesting little guy..lol Never a dull moment with Rocky around! I have been reading alot on this site, and find he does have many of the characteristics of the basenji breed.. so perhaps that is a part of his heritage.

    Hey Chideb! Haven't seen you in a while. Rocky is beautiful. I think I have a chi/basenji mix, too. He has a lot of the traits but not all of them, so I am not 100% sure.

    Hey Pam.. small world, huh?? It is great to see you again, I often think you of and your wonderful pack..I have always admired your dedication to chi rescue. I hope Babushka is doing well, such a sweetheart that little one.
    I am basically a "lurker" on our other forum these days, don't post very often. I just couldn't handle all of the acidic comments and egos any longer..lol It was no longer a site for the wonder of the dogs, but a place where people were constantly trying to "one up" each other. I regret not being able to participate after being there for 4 years, but everyone has to draw their line in the sand at some point.
    Blessings, Deb

    Yeah, I know what you mean. It has gotten better, a lot of the snarky ones left and we got a load of new people that are quite nice. Babushka is such a sweet, crazy puppy, I am so in love with her. How long have you had Rocky? He is a cutie.

    Hope you guys don't get tired of looking at pics of possible Basenji mixes! This is Rio and I have tried to narrow his breed type to Basenji - Toy Fox/Rat Terrier - Chi - and Shephard. I keep seeing more Basenji than anything else but tell me otherwise! Thanks for your input!!!

    No idea, sometimes with mixes it's so hard to tell what the parentage is. I do think that your dog's head is a bit more refined than many of the pit mixes i've seen.

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.

    Not a basenji, but…

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    I'm originally from California so that is where we got them. I will have to ask my mom if she knows anything about their breeding. They were both over a year old when they came to us. The male was an escaper. My parents had to add an extention on our 6 ft wall because he would jump it. Even then he found a way to get out. We couldnt figure it out for the longest time how he did it. He had found a window upstairs that didn't latch, he would nose it open get on the roof then jump to the wall and from the wall to the ground. The male in pic is prob just sniffing We were working on that bedroom so there were alot of new scents. I cant recall him ever barooing. The female though was very vocal. After talking to my mom, I don't have any more info. Both dogs were given up by their owners because they became to much for them to handle. Alphy the male was a handful being an escaper, Lady was a great counter surfer. Alphy liked all dogs and people. Lady only liked people. But other than that they were sweet and loving dogs.
