Lovely pictures - they are obviously enjoying their eats!

Hi gornza, welcome to the forum. Your boy sounds a whopper ;) is it possible he's crossed with a larger dog than a Beagle perhaps?

Welcome to all of you! Glad to have you here with us.

A big welcome to you. Wow! 35 years with basenjis. I am sure you will have interesting stories to share.

Awww….he's just so beautiful.

Congratulations on being adopted by two wonderful looking beasties - I mean basenjis! And welcome to the forum (you lurker you :))

@Basenjimamma: Welcome Susan. I am so sorry to hear about the ban, though I am glad you can keep them still..if I read that right. I am a swedish girl living in Tx, nice to meet other scandinavians on here. I know this forum will be a wealth of information for you.. I am currently basenjiless as well, but is actively searching for a love too. Thanks :) Yes we can keep the dogs we have - so that's nice ! Nice to hear that I'm not the only one from Scandinavia :)

mauigirl lives in Dunwoody!!! She has two, and she is always looking to meet other basenji people!! (I just recently moved from there). I'll alert her & let her know you're here!

@Karma: Hi, My 7 months Basenji just got neutered and the rash and hives started after his surgery, he was fine before that. He started getting rash on his belly and broke out in hives. We took him the vet and got him treated, yet the rash and small little hives are still there. We were instructed to give him Benadryl every 8 hrs. Currently he's on Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Dog Food, which contain no artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors. I dont know what else to do because he's having trouble sleeping at night. How soon after being neutered? Is the surgery site healed? And I would have to think of a yeast infection… and since the benadryl has not cleared it up, I would insist on the Vet taking a further look. Also, is he on any meds from the surgery?

Hi Sharon; sorry this has taken me so long to get back, I am a home health caregiver and work 12 hour shifts so time schedules are often tight. This forum is one of my pleasurable moments. Anyway….to answer your question, we got our Basenji's from a breeder in Buffalo Minnesota (female) and Minneapolis Minnesota (male). Sorry, don't remember the breeders names.

Glad your doing your homework…we are all here to help you.

Wonderful!! What a great idea and such a delightful picture. Welcome to the forum - I hope you get lots more photos.

Sometimes new kids have to 'push their limits' to see how far they can go. Isis found out, not very far! Great job working with her to show her tie right way to act. You may see that behavior from time to time, but it will be the exception, not the rule..so to speak. Kudos to you for working through her issues!

We have another appointment next month and we will talk to Dr. Renee about the fanconi test. Laika has had very little traing. We use a Flexy for walking right now. I would like to get her trained on a short leash later, so we could take her out in public. Is it possible?? Suni would try to attack any dog.

I hope all the puppies from these litters are tested for fanconi. It would give the owners so much inforamtion they don't have now.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I'll keep posting pics. lol, I know the feeling. If I could only catch half of the cute stuff he does. lol

welcome to both of you. You chose a great dog for years of entertainment and love. :)

Right on! My Basenji is a mix breed as well, and I also adopted him. He is an absolute handful, but one of the best parts of my day is when I get home and see how he excited he is that dads home. And yeah… as far as chew toys, I have not found a single one that he can't destroy in less than 5 minutes. The best toy I've gotten him was a coil of rope that I tied into knots. lol, be prepared to pick up little pieces of his victims every day.

I have three bs too! And I'm just across the bridge in Jersey! Mine are 6,5,&2.5. Welcome! :)

So nice to have you here, Jerome and Rudy. :)
