  • 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 :)

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!

    No confirmed plans, as of yet. But they should solidify with in the next few weeks. We have been thinking of "wintering" in Berlin until February. We also we'll be in Münich visiting some friends. I'm really excited to go, since there are so many more B's in Germany than Switzerland. In fact Lycia's father, C-Quest's Echo of Eldorado is there as well. =)

    I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around. Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
