Basenji Dog Breed
Posted on 8/22/23 at 10:26 am
Posted on 8/22/23 at 10:26 am
There's been a few dog posts today, but I've been thinking about getting a dog. Have never had a dog/parents don't like pets. I took a stupid internet quiz and it said the dog that fit my interests is a Basenji. Anybody here ever have a Basenji or have advice for a good breed for a first-time owner? I mostly want a dog that doesn't shed a ton, but don't really want a golden doodle. I may consider a poodle too.

Absolutely not, especially for first time owner. That’s a challenging breed

Go to the shelter.

Why would anyone ever base a decision off of an internet quiz? Find a local shelter to adopt or petfinder.com & pick one

Poodle would be way better for first time owner.
Basenjis are strong willed af. Have you ever had a cat? Trying to get a Basenji to do something they don't want to is the same as a cat. They are not people pleasers like most dogs.

My sister had two of them. Both were hyper as hell.

Go find one at a shelter. I rescued one recently. Most thankful dog I've ever had. She just finished dog training and is amazing.

I believe this is the quiz I took.
And like others have said, most of the shelters in south LA that I have visited websites for only have pit bulls, chihuahuas, or pit bull mixes.

Low intelligence mindset.
About as dumb as your typical pit Bull owner

that quiz is retarded. It paired me with a borzoi.

Look for “Free to a good home” puppies or dog. Check newspaper, veterinarian office, etc.

If you can "unlock" their abilities they have some neat abilities in the field, but I don’t recommend them as a pet. "Barkless" is very misleading btw, Id take barking over the whine they make.

Never heard of it, but I'm tired already just looking at this thing!

Get a Lhasa Apso. They are great indoor dogs.

There are some dogs that you need a fenced in yard or nearby dog park and a ton of free time for. A Basenji is one of them.
