    Thank you.
    We have had Great Danes for 25 years. We showed in obedience trials during the first 15 years. Earlier this year, we placed our last one on a farm in northern Indiana to get the work and exercise he needed.
    My wife has worked with the Schipperke rescue for 12 years. After we adopted Willow, we decided that we would also like to work with the Basenji rescue.

    Though basenjis are my favourite dog breed, I have to say that I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the Schipperke. I like their size, alertness and the lovely shiny black coats they have.

    I loved their pictures passed out on the couch! Welcome to the forum. Did you get him from BRAT? If not yell and I'll give you the contact if you need it (though you can just put brat basenji and find it to fill out application to volunteer).

    Yes, we got Benny through BRAT. He was listed on the BRAT adoption page from Ohio. He was 8 months old when they posted him. When we got him he was 14 months old.

    Welcome to the forum! When I was at the beach in San Francisco last summer there was a Great Dane get together and there must have been at least 35 of them. Buddy loves large dogs so he was in heaven! :D

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. :( So give Pippi a hug for me.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    Dave hello, I also am new to this site. I had my frist Basenji for sixteen years and lost her last year. I could only go for about a month before getting my next Basenji. I really love this breed I have two now. Good luck in your search for your next Basenji.
