It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

Hmmm, you really need a b/w basenji on that bike. They look like they have built-in biker jackets. :D:D

They do don't they. It looks like it was a couple of out of control brindles.

B-mamma, did Otis get out, steal a bike, go for a joy ride and return home without you knowing it?
-
You know…he very well might have..he was trouble today, so he was scolded, maybe that got him out for a joyride...bad to the bone...
-
Too funny - reminds me of that video out of Japan of the dog riding the bicycle.
I think Gossy would do something like this - she loves fast cars -
It's amazing what they can do with photos these days - what a riot - off to join Sons of Anarchy maybe??
-
@Shaye's:
off to join Sons of Anarchy maybe??
They'd be distributing toilet paper to their affiliated groups instead of distributing guns…
Actually, a gang of Basenjis would be slightly concerning. I think we know what they can be capable of these days... :o

Slightly concerning??? Hoodlums! Thugs! They'd take over the world!:D:D

And don't we just love them !

OK, whose Basenjis stole my bike??? You're all laughing at me because you know who they are!

I think Otis might have had something to do with it. B-mamma said she had to scold him yesterday…;)

Dan, you did realise i was cracking a joke didn't you. I'm sure you do as you put a laughing face. However i know it is easy to misread posts and things have been a bit heated on here lately so i want to make sure.The saying i dont give a monkeys means couldn't care less , when i was posting it i wondered if people out of the UK would have heard it before.
I think the whole saying is I dont give a monkeys chuff. Now what a chuff is i dont know, perhaps we better not go there

Of course I knew you were joking young lady. My whole thread was a joke so we're all having fun with it or fun with me, what ever you chose to do. -
It makes since that they are riding a V-Rod since that is the quickest Harley-Davidson on the road.

Great picture - trust Basenjis not to be wearing their helmets!!!
