    Hi All,

    Simon is 4 years old. The owners who gave him up got him for free from a friend. His "breeder" is Martha J Reed, and his sire is 'Mar J's African Prince', and Dam is
    'Mar J's Sheza Imperial Star'. Both are in Sally Wallis' database, and no info is available on OFA on either of them.

    Simon is small, and stocky and very cute. He very interested in exploring his surroundings, and very interested in playing with other dogs, but is less interested in playing with people. He is polite when you pet him, he is just not very interested in it.
    He is chasing the cats right now, so I would suggest a home with no cats, but with other dogs, especially other basenjis.
    Please keep Simon in mind if you know anyone looking for an Adult Basenji.

    Here is a better picture of Simon.
    That red spot on his head in the middle of the white is so cute, you just want to kiss it. :)

    He is a beautiful boy - I hope someone can find room in their homes and hearts for Simon.

    Nicky has a spot on her forehead, we call it her "kiss spot". Simon is a nice looking boy, I hope he finds a forever home soon.

    He is a very nice looking dog. I would think having that great photo of him will bring more interest and hopefully he'll find a new home soon.

    We just bought a new camera last night.

    Here are some more, better pics of Simon. here he is at Kriser's, a local high-end, natural pet store.

    He was so sweet with all of the customers and with the other dog that came in while we were there.

    He is a very sweet boy, and very calm.

    We are fostering him. No chance of failed foster. We are getting our show puppies this year, so we can't keep Simon. He is such a good, and handsome boy, I expect he will find a very good home.

    Our Mickey gets pretty nippy when excited, too, and it was much more of a problem when he had those crazy sharp puppy teeth, but now at 1 yr old he responds pretty quickly to "gentle" and "kisses", "no bite" prompts. But when he gets too worked up I have to just walk away because his first instinct is to mouth & he doesn't seem to know his own strength. Someone mentioned winter activities - I would strongly suggest looking into getting a Varsity Ball (if you google it it should come up) - they are indestructible and big! Def for outdoor only. My guy likes to roll his around and try to stand on it - it's pretty funny. And it's almost the only time you'll hear him growl and bark - he gets so worked up with it that I have to put it away sometimes or else the neighbors will think he's vicious (he sounds it when playing with this thing!). BUT he comes in from outside panting and exhausted, so it's a nice alternative for him. I would caution, though, that bc the ball is really hard, he's knocked it into our rain spouts and caused them to fall down. So just be careful if you have anything outside that could get damaged.

    Cody follows me when I initially go into another room, but if I'm not holding food or a toy, doing something he finds interesting, or if something else catches his attention, then he leaves. He used to be a complete and utter velcro dog. He wouldn't leave my side at all, and there were a few times when I almost stepped on him or tripped over him. I agree though, I don't think it is just Bs. Moe, our mix, does the same thing. I just think they are nosy.

    I hope BRAT can intervene or someone with B experience (or willing to learn) can give her a good forever home. Craigslist can be iffy…she sounds so sweet. Hopefully someone will keep us updated...

    Without coming out and saying it, I'm getting that y'all have some info regarding the chances of Fanconi based on his lineage. We're encouraging anyone in our group to be aware of the risks and have him tested. Poor little guy.
