Hi everyone!


  • @CairoPup:

    Really?! That's awesome. The dam is Gracie - such a cool dog! I'll have ask to her again about the sire & I'll let you know!

    LOL, you will find when you get your puppy from a responsible breeder that other responsible breeders and owners know them and their Basenjis….

    Let me know if you know the registered names, we don't always know their call names.


  • @Janneke:

    Welcome to the forum Brian! Great to have you here. My biggest advice when adding a puppy is: make sure you have a camera! :D Can't wait for Cairo pics!

    Thanks for the advice! :D I'll be sure and take lots of 'em - can't wait either!

    Lol, I had a feeling it was a close-knit community and now I'm beginning to see that! I'll have to check with her on the registered names (I'm not sure on the spelling) & I'll get back to you.

    Yes we are…:D and again welcome, can't wait to see pictures. My Franie may be related to your Cario


  • Welcome to the forum, Brian and to your Cairo when he arrives!


  • Welcome the forum Brian,.. All i can say is I,m sure you will enjoy your new puppy Cairo, great name! be patient , I think you'll find that he will more than make up for the frustrations you will undoubtedly go thru raising him!!! It's is very rewarding!!
    especially if you do it right and it sounds like your off to a great start!
    Welcome


  • Welcome! Btw just did a rescue evaluation for a dog named Cairo. I think it's a great name!


  • We go coursing at the 3M park in Ames several times a year. I think we will be up there in April and Oct this year. I know there is one other basenji boy, who lives in Ames, that comes out to course too. You should bring him over to the park to socialize with the other sighthounds at one of the events. I am getting a girl mid feb, they will be close to the same age.


  • Congrats! I just saw some puppy pictures on Facebook. They're really cute!

    Pat, Gracie is Rafikis American Idol.

    That sounds like a great idea - I've been looking for events to attend with him. I will definitely bring him over. I'm new to the area so the socialization wouldn't hurt me either! I had been wondering if there were any other Basenjis in Ames. Congrats on your new puppy, we'll have to keep in touch!

    I agree!! You could tell she was bored with the whole thing and that was when she got all defiant!!! How do they keep them from not getting distracted when they do the classes at say Petco? We are going in Feb. and I am a little concerned about it.

    @Quercus: some of mine make a sound kind of like "hrumphf" if they want something…some will moan, and whine. Our male just gives us the mind meld stare.... OMG! The "mind meld stare"…that's a perfect way to describe it! Mine does the "hrumphf" thing too. Sometimes it sounds like a sneeze, because if you're near it, you get snotted.
