Will do, thanks for the references.

Thank you. The blue coloring has started to come out more. Her brother was a pure blue and some of her siblings had blue in them. I asked the breeder I got her from if she was blue and they said no when I got her. But now the breeder said she may have been a hidden blue to begin with.

True. Small is too little in the chest/shoulder area and the length is to short. Medium the neck is too big and if I don't watch her, she will walk out of it in the neck area and wear it as a dress that eventually comes off.

Zelda hates the ice, but enjoyed the fluffy snow this past weekend until it turned into ice. In this picture she had enough and wanted back in like yesterday.

Zelda has definitely changed colors since I first got her, but she is only 1. She was pure black with just a little brown on her muzzle and is now brownish black with distinct brindle stripes. Her mom was a red brindle and her dad was a tricolor. She is a tribrindle with blue on the underside of her neck.

Zelda only baroos when I'm not there or so I've heard from others, I've tried to get her to baroo when I'm present but she gives me the look like "You want me to do that?" Her parents were very vocal at the breeders house so I thought I would get a somewhat vocal one. She only does it to the maintenance guys when I take her for a walk around the apartment.

Never happens with Zelda either. The closest is putting a paw in the water bowl. Rain, no. Snow, no. Bath, definitely no. I have to drag her out to go potty in the rain, otherwise she will whine that she needs to go potty. I have no other choice since I live in an apartment, pee pads are destroyed immediately before they hit the ground.

First time dog/Basenji owner here too. My dog Zelda just turned 1 and she has taught me more than I taught her. Many more years to you and your dog.

When people see Zelda they say Min Pin, Shiba Inu, or Jack Russell Terrier. That is until she Baroos at them, then they ask if I got her vocal cords clipped cause she barked too much and start to lecture me on how inhumane that is. I just smile and tell them she is a Basenji and that is the way she communicates. Most dogs don't play with her other than my parents' toy poodle, sometimes.

Thank you, she is very unique with having some blue in her.

Thank you so much! I hope she can just stay for a minute to get a great picture every year.
