Man Gets Basenji Tattoo

    I have two tattoos, the first is my dear departed Thunders' paw print. It's right above my heart.I got it four months before he passed.
    I'm so glad that I did,as I had no idea he would leave me so soon after.

    The other tattoo is of him running full out. It was taken from a pix of him at a LGRA meet. It's on my left upper arm.
    I feel very comforted by having these tattoos,I look at them daily and remember how special he was.
    I would recommend anyone who loses a special B to get a tattoo of them. It is a healing thing.At least for me.

    I don't have any tatoos, mainly because I have never been able to pinpoint something I know I would be happy with for the rest of my life. But I am pretty sure I could be happy with a Basenji tat forever :)

    @Quercus:

    That guy (Chad?) used to post here :)

    I was wondering when i was watching it if he might be a member, really pleased he is, was lovely to see someone so positive about the breed. And he was rather lovely to watch ;)

    There are a few exhibitors in the northwest that I have spotted basenji tattoos on and I remember seeing a spread in the basenji magazine or maybe the BCOA bulletin about someone who had a mural done on her upper back in color. It was pretty cool.

    I have tattoos myself but have yet to acquire anything basenji related. Key word, yet… :)

    Irena - love your dad's tatoo of Geasy - the artist did a wonderful job! If I were a guy, and if I were younger, and if I could stand the pain, I'd definitely have a B tatoo!

    Irena, your dad's tattoo is beautiful!
    I've been thinking about getting one of Cody or to represent Cody, but I haven't figured out exactly what yet. I have about 17 regular tattoos now, so I think my best friend deserves to leave his mark too :)

    @emmett Hope you're still reading our responses. I'm impressed that you're doing research and reaching out to people who have the breed of dog you're interested in. In my opinion you're doing exactly the right thing. I also like that you're considering a Basenji. I really hope you'll keep that seed of interest in the back of your mind, and that when the time is right that you'll revisit having a Basenji. As other have pointed out, and you've concluded... a Basenji may not be the best choice for where you are right now. Another thought might be to find a local dog park, go there, observe the dogs, the way that they interact with their owners and see if particular breed looks interesting. Some are laid back, some are high energy, some crave attention, some want independence, etc. Watch them. Get use to spotting the behaviors that you want in a dog. Then, when it comes time for you to choose your dog for life, you'll be better prepared to spot the personality, or temperament as we call it, that best fits where you are in life. In turn you'll be making the best choice for your new pal as well. We have great members here with decades of experience breeding, training, showing and co-existing with dogs. I hope you'll stop by anytime you have any questions at all. They don't have to be about Basenjis. Good luck and let us know if you get a pup!! :oncoming_fist: :slightly_smiling_face: :thumbs_up:

    That sounds exactly like benji…his ears stay folded back for awhile when we get home he's so excited. And he is the smartest dog I've ever been around also. He knows what alot of different words mean just by picking up on our conversations and he does quite a few tricks when he wants to as well. And he has to be with us constantly too. The breeder had named him Wyatt so you might remember his pics and I posted some also.

    Well, it started when I was out with my 22yr. old son at the mall. He said, "Hey, Mom lets look at the dogs in the petstore ", I replied, "I don't have time besides your Dad has too many ideas what a dog has to be like for us to get one", I'll never find a dog like he wants". That was 3 yrs. ago this Jan., and I had never heard of a Basenji. I called DH about 3 times the night I found Sahara to persuade him we needed this dog, but she was very expensive so it took some work talking him into me buying her. She is owned by my son, me and my husband, she lives with my husband and I. She is the best dog I have ever owned, and I have had many through my lifetime. I would never get another dog from a pet store (didn't know about puppy mills)but I would have not known of this breed if I hadn't stopped and looked that night. My husband loves this dog so very much, he buys her whatever she wants or needs. I love her also, she is my joy and I can't stand to be from her for very long, we just got back from a trip and it was so hard missing her. My son said that she didn't eat very good while we were gone and was very destructive in the house. Guess she missed us as well!

    @JazzysMom: Well, it's a good thing we went straight to a breeder! I'd considered BRAT, but decided to get a puppy instead. Good thing, because with six kids at home and lots of other kids in and out, we'd have never gotten a dog! Sad isn't it….
