Yes, of course we ended up adopting Rascal . We didn’t really have much of a choice. He’s been pretty perfect for the first week we’ve had him. I’ve been transformed into a crazy dog dad.

He’s being crate trained now. The foster home he was in had a big yard and lots of other dogs. Now that he’s a city boi, he’s got some adjusting to do but he’s handled it like a champ so far. He’s a total Velcro dog and will follow you around everywhere. He doesn’t bark and he’s really good with strangers. Total A+ certified good boy.

He’s a Basenji and we got him from a rescue organization for the breed.

Here he is learning about the LS in my parents boat.

He’s so fresh.

Super good boi! Also, that's not an LS. It's a SBC.

I believe you are correct. I actually checked after I posted but couldn’t find anything definitive.

They have a really cool history. One of the oldest breeds in the world and not “man made” by breeders. They are from Africa and they don’t bark. They actually act a lot like cats and are hypoallergenic .

Velcro dog! That makes total sense. I have a cat who follows me around and I will now be calling him velcro cat.

Well damn now I’m really intrigued. I’ve got 3 cats now but my old girl won’t last much longer and I kind of want a dog again.

They look neat too

They’re super smart, but independent thinkers . They clean themselves like a cat and they don’t really shed. He will walk on the top cushions of the couch and come sit on your shoulders sometimes. They’re just quirky dogs. A lot of people with cats say they get along really well with their Basenji.

We were drawn to the breed because we wanted a hypoalergenic breed, but wanted an athletic and playful dog. A lot of the hypo breeds are couch potatoes . So far he’s lived up to the hype.

If you do look at getting one, you should check out this website.

This is the organization we found him through. They’re really great people who care a lot about the dogs and have been very helpful for us first time pet parents.
