I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.
Hi all..

I am Valen from Indonesia, Batam Island.
I just adopt two Basenjis about a week.
Gandhi is brown and white, male.
Lolly is black and white, female.
They are about 14 - 15 months old (DOB later).
Later I will post their photos on "Show Off Your Dog".Thank you,
Valen. -
