Member Introductions

@lovely I haven't used them... but why you want one is really important in knowing which one to get. They really are very varied in what they do.

I know I have thanked you before, but your dedication to the database is truly a labor of love. I do urge everyone to participate.

I'm sorry, I probably spoke out of turn - but over here most, if not all, breeders will encourage visits. My pack, even when we were up to 8, of which three entire boys and five nubile ladies, was always open to visitors. Now I no longer breed - anno domini - the least I can do is help wannabe owners to make up their minds. If people are geographically unable to visit me, I can always put them in touch with a breeder nearer to them. I guess living on a small island has its compensations !

He was a terror from day 1 We have an old Rescue dog if he would be on the couch Joey would walk up and just look at him until he would jump down it was hilarious. Nothing was safe on the counter unless it was in the middle. He would swing his paw up and swipe stuff right off. But he was a real affectionate boy as well I sure miss him 🙁

@amys112 Hi! I’m right near them , in Taunton, MA! What’s the best way to reach them? I completed their application online but did not hear back.

I'm really sorry to hear about your pup and do hope you find a way to deal with this especially for your daughter. Vaccines are a controversial subject and not appropriate to talk about that now but hopefully this won't happen again should you decide to have another puppy. I note that several other posters say this is rare. My prayers are with you.

Welcome. 16 years is a good long life. Do you plan to get another basenji?

Agreeing ... we'll celebrate and enjoy Rebel, nevermind the breeder. Once here, Rebel is family. :)

I have since checked my records and Trouble is 11 this year, Not 9. This photo was actually taken a couple of years ago.

Very pretty. How old?

Totally agree, mind stimulation is critical.

@tanza Kevin and Therese are the BEST!!! Blossom is so wonderful!

Many thanks!!

Every single person who loves the breed has a right to care when irresponsible breeders get support. I am sorry you don't get that. Nor was it s lecture...it was facts.

@crazysenji said in Hi Everyone!: but if you wanted pictures (win pictures?) I'd be happy to send them! I should love photos - from you and from everyone else ! No need for show poses, can be just 'for fun' - some of my favorite photos show very relaxed pooches !

@Abboud So cool! I share your excitement! Please post pictures when you pick the pup up. :)

We're in DC- we could meet up somewhere if you're interested!

@silvercoo Depends on the mix... but then I do not agree or support mix breeds... but that is just my opinion... Thank for all that take shelter dogs and give them great homes...
