    Wow, Kizzy's color is very striking! Is that common amongst basenjis? Or is this a Wimauma specialty?

    Welcome to the forum!

    I've always thought Kizzy is super striking with the coat colour & eye colour. I saw pics of her when they were first rescued so it will be cool to be able to see her grow. Thanks for posting pics!

    WOW - Kizzy is gorgeous - the color of her coat and the beautiful eyes are a wonderful combination, and her expression in the first picture is so intense. Welcome to the forum - I'm sure Kizzie will make a nice companion for Pikachu and a good addition to your household. So good to see the Wimauma dogs finding loving homes.

    JoeW and Debbij, welcome to the forum. I hope that Pikachu and Kizzy get on well, it's good to see the Wimauma basenjis are steadily getting their forever homes owing to the caring people on both sides of the adoptions. The colours are certainly striking. I assume these arise from the 'native' mixes?

    @debbi:

    Hi, everyone,

    I am a member of BCOA and BRAT. I have friends on this list and decided it was time for me to join. I also was interested in seeing a new picture of Kizzie. I am so happy she is in her forever home. Best wishes to Kizzie, Piikachu, and the Williams family!

    Debbi J.

    So, are you the Debbie that I first contacted from BRAT about the Fl Rescue Basenji's?

    :)What a wonderful opportunity to open our home and our heart to such a deserving B. She is doing great. She is timid and beautiful. All the neighbors are asking about her on our walks. I do beleive her coat color and eye color are thorowbacks from the African blood in her. Do other people who have B's ever see their tails wag? She hasn't done it here yet (but hopefully will soon) but we did see her wag at BRAT on Saturday, when she was reunited with her beautiful sister Bibi. (Bibi is in a couple of the pictures I am attaching). I understand she also found a forever home. There are lots of B's at BRAT in Seminole still waiting for their new humans!

    So, are you the Debbie that I first contacted from BRAT about the Fl Rescue Basenji's?

    Hi, Joe and Trish,

    Yes, I am the Debbi that you first contacted at BRAT. Working hand in hand along with Pam in Florida, she and I have placed more than 30 basenjis from the Wimauma Pack. We are now starting to place the young adults. In addition, we have one more available 4 month old male pup in Florida and a male/female pair from the same litter that we have moved to Maryland so that a transport to their eventual adoptive family is easier.

    BTW, I have an 8 year brindle boy, Basil, and a 7 year old tri girl, Trinity. I've learned over the years that with basenjis, you can't have just one.

    Hi Joe and Trish, Welcome!
    We are over in Tampa and have a weekly basenji meet-up, sometimes Kizzie's brother Kongo (was Afrika) joins us and we would love to meet up with you and the kids when you are ready for an outing. We sometimes take a road trip to Crest Lake Park in Clearwater, that might be a good central location! I meet Kizzie when she was at the shelter, what a gorgeous girl, so happy that she has a great forever home!

    Welcome to the forum! And please keep us updated - and send lots of pics on their progress…

    Kizzy's eyes are mesmerizing and complements her darker color very well... I think she got me hypnotized - I can't stop staring at those beautiful eyes! :p:p:p:D

    Kizzie is settling in nicely. She is doing great with Pikachu and has fallen for our cat "Silver". Planning on going to the Tampa dog park tomorrow (if we don't get rained out). :)

    I have since checked my records and Trouble is 11 this year, Not 9. This photo was actually taken a couple of years ago.

    @mauigirl: Okay I actually went and found the e-mail I sent in to order the collar. The collars are from Northwind Catalog. Their medium collar is adjustable from 10" to 16" On the first collar I ordered I requested that it be 3" smaller than the medium size (Zip, girl), and the second I ordered I asked it to be 2" smaller (Riley, boy, bigger). In hindsight the medium as is would have been fine. On both of our dogs the collars are adjusted to just about as big as they can go so 13" on Zip and 14" on Riley (his is snugger going over his head but still loose around his neck). And the allowance looks to be 3" (that extra loop in a martingale that make it instantaneously adjustable) Sorry that took me so long, I ended up staying at work til 1am that night! Thank you very, very much !! It's past midnight now so I'll check it in the morning. Greetz UPDATE : Yes, they are the right size !:D

    Giza swam in the Atlantic once when we were out walkin' at low tide and the tile came in. The Atlantic in Canada is pretty cold!

    Andrea - I want to thank you for recommending the obedience website. We have all begun a program of dog training - fun for the kids especially. We have her (and the Jack Russell mix) sitting before they are allowed out, and they must "stay!" sitting even when the door opens until they are given a command to "go!" Even if the cat is just outside the door taunting them with his wicked yellow eyes to chase him - they must sit and stay until told to go. And now, after a month of constant training from all of us - they do it. In fact, both now sit at the door before it even opens anticipating the command. We also have hand gestures for the verbal commands - probably not the conventional ones, but they work for us and the pooches. We've started working on "come" now - Kandy definately doesn't like it, but she is beginning to obey "come-sit" for her treats. No treat without obeying. She's smart and quick to learn, and so is Sammy, so we're having a good time with them. Well, we did until Sammy went into heat and began making us all nutty with her constant whining and alternate aggressive behavior (she and Kandy had some real loud and nasty tussles) I had little time for the internet, for all the extra work it caused and the lack of sleep! But she's nearly done with that, and both are returning to whatever poses for normal and are getting along again. We're so happy with the two of them, and Kandy is so unique and special. What a treasure - wierd noises that she makes and all! MamaofMany
