    First Basenji's

    Hi everyone,

    This is the only "place" I know with dog lovers from Florida, so I hope you don't mind the non-Basenji related post.

    Kai Ken are quite "primitive" dogs from Japan, NOT the type that's just going to come out to any stranger. Imagine if a Basenji got lost at an international airport? Yeah, it'd be about as skittish and elusive…

    ANYONE IN THE ORLANDO AREA: LOST KAI KEN LAST SEEN IN ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT PARKING LOT TERMINAL B, LEVEL 1, ROW M. HER NAME IS MOCHI. She is about 20lbs, one year old, & looks like a little fox.

    She is wearing a collar, is spayed, & has a HomeAgain microchip.

    Mochi was shipped from Denver to Orlando, she got out of the crate in the parking lot. She is lost. Please, if you see her or know anyone who can help find her please LET US KNOW!!

    Lost on November 20th, 2010. ~

    I will be in Orlando tomorrow…. I'll keep a look out!
    Do you know if the chip was registered with Homeagain?

    Patty, that's awesome. If you know any good resources in the area, I'm sure Brad and Osy would appreciate the contact (phone or FB above seem to be good modes of contact).

    The chip is registered.

    There was another sighting at the airport at least a day ago. I don't know how the airport is laid out, if it's contained… I feel like as long as she continues to be sighted, chance of recovery is high.

    The airport is very spread out; there are two major toll roads that go right to it, but there is also a lot of woods and terrain that would be safe territory. Have they listed on Craig's List? I'm scanning the Florida ads now for a found dog; I don't think anyone would know the breed name (and you may want them to NOT advertise it, as it becomes a treasure/investment instead of a lost family member…).

    I think they're advertising the breed because they DON'T want her mistaken for a fox or a wolf, as she looks very wild. Last thing they want is for someone to shoot her thinking she's a dangerous predator. But they're downplaying her "rarity" for fear of exactly what you describe – that someone will just decide to keep her instead. At least she's spayed.

    They've supposedly hit Craigslist, FindFido, Petfinder, Dogster, breed mailing lists, rescue groups, even Reddit.

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    I may take you up on that - if I can't get in where I typically stay and am familiar with. I've stayed in a couple of dives that I'd not care to return too. Seems like even if it's 'high' season - I should be able to risk waiting until I get there to see what the weather is like - I could go down to Fort Myers - I did that once before when it was too rainy and gloomy in Tampa area. I may just get one night somewhere certain and then just decide when I get there. Doesn't bother me much but hubby is a bit less willing to risk it.

    I believe it is better to error on the side of caution. I have friends who lost one of their standard poodles in a very rural area. She didn't even have tags on her collar, let alone a chip. To this day, they still haven't put tags on their other standard poodle, nor is he microchipped. Makes no sense to me!! Hollie came chipped… mandatory by the shelter I rescued her from.
