Ben, Missy and our new B Mowgli

Member Introductions
  • We will be bringing home our first B (hopefully thats the right way to say Basenji in the forum) on Saturday morning. She is 1 yr old and she was just surrendered at a no kill shelter here in Wisconsin. We dont have any other dogs but fell in love (cautiously after browsing the forums) with Chloe (soon to be Mowgli, fingers crossed). I have found some amazing help already from a lady associated with the Southwestern Wisconsin Basenji Club, but am always looking for more advise. Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks all. I think we will see (chat) a lot with each other.

  • Congrads on saving Chloe (Mowgli)…. one suggestion is that you DNA test her for Fanconi for your own piece of mind. Learn about Fanconi and test (it is an easy cheek swab for 65.00) at www.basenjihealth.org or search the Forum for information about Fanconi

  • Welcome to the forum and congratulations on gettin Mowgli. I bet you can't wait untill sat. You will find lots of info , advice and hopefully friendship on here.

  • Welcome to the forum. Oh how I envy you! I am still waiting for my first basenji. I know you will have many years of happiness, craziness and much love with Mowgli. And of course when you get her, we insist you post pictures of her. We love pictures here. :)

    I saw her on petfinder through another thread. She is a very good looking girl. Make it a point to give her treats whenever you catch her being good. My dogs get lots of treats! They learn quickly behaving is fun.

    Welcome and congratulations! I have two BRATS myself, and a third basenji as well. So beware, they ARE like potato chips (You can't have just one) I love her name, she is gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about her Homecoming!

    I dont have any pics right now she is so active its hard to get any good ones. And when she tugs my daughters diaper i do redirect her. she is just trying to get my daughter to play with her. i have seen the vet he believes she was around 7-8weeks and she has had her dewormer and her first set of shots. He was amazed at how healthy she had become once we rescued her. She was sooo tiny when we first got her. BUt she is def thriving and gaining lots of weight.

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    @Rita: Pat yes we did get Jaycee's AKC application at the time we got her. Have not got cert back yet as we were really slow in her name made us slow in mailing. Rita Jean Great, it would be good if you gave Sally W the information for her website to update the pedigrees. Many of us rely heavily on the pedigree site when thinking about breeding and researching dogs…. You can do contact Sally at Zande Basenjis (just do a seach for her website and drop her an email with the info)....
