    My breeder is Ann Birk out of kansas. and that sounds like fun.. it it in the Pleasanton area? that's not too far… I would like to check out coursing for Jasper it sounds like that may up his alley.. The other two are couch potatos.. Jimmie was recently diagnosed with fanconi's and is responding well to treatment following the Gonto potocol....:o

    Sorry to hear about Jimmie with Fanconi, glad to hear that he is doing well on the protocol. You should think about getting the other 2 DNA tested for Fanconi so that you know their status for the future. You can order the cheek swab test at www.offa.org (go to the link that is for DNA tests) and also by entering them on the CPP site, you can become part of the Basenji community tracking genetic concerns in the breed. We have had a DNA test for Fanconi since 2007 and all breeders should be testing before breeding so that we never have to produce another Basenji with Fanconi.

    The event is in Livermore and more information can be found at www.norcalbasenjis.org Hope to see you there.


  • @3basenjis:

    i'm not sure the couch saw him coming and quickly surrendered its stuffing…fast forward to today.. the funiture has been replaced sure it has come corners roughed up from Jasper all 3 get along.. and life is good. There is no tiptoeing through life when you own a basenji or 3 for that matter. I live in Northern calif and even though my dogs are not rescues i get together with the BRAT dogs for a monthly get together and let the hounds loose...

    Oh well, you probably needed a new sofa anyway. I also have 3 badsenjis. Digital the brindlewonderkid is now 13, Jet the tri-ing is 12, and Zest the superstar in training is 3 (she's a r/w, the others you should be able to figure out). We also have Pearl-petual Motion, the malinois (malinut).

    Welcome to our forum - it's a nice place.


  • Welcome! We have 3 too, and they get along great, all are couch 'taters too at 14, 12 and 10. Looking forward to photos of yours. Glad your boy is doing well on the protocol!


  • Hey 3basenjis! Welcome to the Forum and I am in the Sacramento area as well with 2 b's - one of them is on the Fanconi Protocol too! If you're interested could meet up and have a playdate sometime! Other Sacramentoers (Sacramentoees?) are welcome also!


  • Other Sacramentans. I live in Woodland, so not too far from Sacramento.

    I am active in racing and coursing my dogs and if you are interested in getting started let me know and I can let you know what events I will be attending.


  • Sacramentans. There you go.

    Hey Ivoss - I work in Woodland!


  • Cool! Where in Sacramento do you live? Natomas?


  • Yep, Natomas!


  • We usually go to movie theaters there in Natomas. It is a nice community. And it is not that bad a drive to many of the racing and coursing events that happen in this area if you ever want to come out. Though after this weekend it will be fall before they are around here since the temps normally start to really go up fast this time of year.

    When they are with their littermates and any adults, during play when they bite to hard, the one getting bite will scream at the biter… and adults will strongly correct... this is when they learn "soft" bite... so sounds like your Rocco did not get this... This happens if removed from the adults and/or other littermates too early... So as stated, all play stops... also, I suggest that if the bite is too hard, scream/yell very loud and then stop all play

    Hello again after a very long absence!! My 'chewing' boy now leaves his coat alone - his Mum (now spayed) wears his old hand-me-down coat, and he has his onw snazzy camoflage polar fleece jumper that I made. Can't possibly have it off thankyou!! His half-brother Jerry had his first coat on today - also a 'chewer' - we'll see if it is still on in the morning. Jerry's sister Chloe also got one on today after I managed to keep her still enough to pull it over her head!! Jerry is NOT allowed to touch it thank you!! @kiwir: The thing that annoys me is that he always wore a coat as a puppy - he's just turned 12 months now. But boys being boys, in the last few weeks he thought Mum had come back in season (she hadn't!) so in frustration he gradually chewed her coat - from the back forward - left the polar fleece around her shoulders and chest and neck. And the silly girl just let him - looking at him indulgently - "My boy" I tried making them without the polar neck (designed to stop chewing of the front) - or reinforced them with thick cotton tape - and that lasted a little longer. Now he just looks at me with those eyes saying "Hell, I'm freezing Mum!"

    @youngandtired: Hi! Welcome to the Basenji Forum, this is a great place for chatting about our furbabies, and getting information. So, your baby is 4, please tell me that they will stop chewing, and surfing the tables. My Sahara, would be just great if she didn't do this. I love her just the same, but I have lost things I can't get back that she has chewed. My Basenjis right now range in age from 12 1/2 to 15 3/4…. :p They still surf, however they have pretty much stopped chewing... :D But that is just cause they are old.... and the teeth are not as great!
