  • hi everyone
    we just got a 4 month black/white fem about a month ago,a little back round history first,we also have 2 black labs,we been in search of another dog because or sheba (oldest lab) which we have for 9 yrs (was 8 months old when we got her) is now suffering with nerve/hip problems which is not making much use out of one of her rear legs,we know its only time b4 we need to do the unthinkable, she still gets around good so its ok now,our 2nd lab silky came into the picture about a 11/2 yrs ago (got both dogs from rescue) she was about 21/2 yrs old when we got her,prior to sliky we had a english bull terrier name honey,got her from rescue also cant even begin to tell you her condition when we got her only tell tell you she became one of the biggest loves one could ever have and was shebas sole mate parse but after 6 years she fell to seizures, and had to be put down 11/2 years ago,sheba was lost so we got her sliky which now the 2 you cant separate,again the tables are turning,we figured we get another dog while sheba is still her and the 2 can teach her the ways, and a basenji was just what we were looking for,almost the same temperament as the bull terrier who could ask for more lol ,it amazing how well the all get along,she sure does give silky a good workout :)

    Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. :( So give Pippi a hug for me.

    First off, Welcome to our site of valueable Basenji information. I have learned so much linking into this site, we have lots of laughs as well. My B, Sahara, crosses her legs all the time, she is such a showoff and often has the regal queen look. I love the look myself, they are such beautiful dogs I must say, not that I am partial or anything. Your Piper is so cute, welcome again.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    @WriggleysMom: We've always had rescues and I feel like I've missed out on puppy antics, so I'm debating. Toby doesn't baroo or wag his tail and I really miss being met at the door with a welcome baroo and a tail trying to wag itself off!! I had a puppy and was getting the urge for another but now we have a 7-mo old foster and I can't take my eyes off her. I remembered I really did not miss that!

    Dave hello, I also am new to this site. I had my frist Basenji for sixteen years and lost her last year. I could only go for about a month before getting my next Basenji. I really love this breed I have two now. Good luck in your search for your next Basenji.
