This is my rotten Basenji (I adore him, rotten though he is):

Robin nests into blankets and pillows when given the opportunity

Robin helps do the dishes!

Registered name: Rusty Always Talking (and believe me, he IS. Basenjis may not have a true bark, but they yodel (sounds like "BaROo") and fox bark ("buff"). He usually gives a fox bark after being told off for doing things like taking the newspaper from you when it's walk-time; I call that sassing.) I call him Robin, after Robin Hood, for he is a prince of thieves, he'll steal your heart and anything else you have!

I adopted him through the breed rescue, Basenji Rescue and Transport... aptly called BRAT for short.

He's 10years old (in those picture's he's 9) and a healthy 25 pounds now, but was a whopping 50 pound seven year old dog when he was put into the system. I was told that he was given up along with the owner's female Basenji (they were a breeding pair) because the owner's fiance told her to get rid of them, he didn't like the breed. un The foster kept him intact for a suspiciously long time, they must be neutered to be adopted, so I don't know how many pups he might have out there...

Sasha was my first dog that I have ever owned. She was a Maltese. Sadly we lost her this past summer. She was 11.

(RIP)




This is our current dog. Her name is Sabina and she is a SPCA shelter rescue. She's a 2, going on 3 year old Carolina Dog X German Shepherd mix:

I'll have to remember you when/if I decide a basenji is in my future! I love the little guys. Have only been around one - but they do steal your heart!

Here's our "other" children.

This is Lady,an English Setter. She's 11 years old and still very active. She think any wild thing in the yard is fair game. She's one of my mousers. To Her mice are just fast food.

This is Snoopy, a Beagle/Basset mix. He's 6 years old and belongs to my son. He get to sleep on his bed when my son is home from college. He has to be put on the bed as Chris says "This black and white dog doesn't jump".

And this is My best friend and buddy, Herbie, a Cairn Terrier. He's 3 years old and is everywhere I am. He and Lady are the mousers and keep the coop mouse free.

He also loves to play ball, sometimes for hours.

Do! I'm always willing to share experiences, and I am a bit of a walking encyclopedia (a good thing for someone who's applying to vet schools!). The rescue site is very informative (and they are a nationwide rescue, if you were wondering): www.basenjirescue.org

This is Razmataz, my 12 (soon to be 13) year old Yorkie. He is MY dog, or should I say, I am HIS person? He shares me with my chickens and others sometimes.

That seems cruel and wasteful. If they're not breeding material then why not just alter them so they can't "contaminate"?

Many breeders go on the thought that the white boxers are more prone to cancer and mor likely to be deaf and or blind.

Not saying I would cull them, just saying what I've heard.

The same happens with white dobermans.
