Hi! I'm a new member in search of my Basenji. I had a wonderful Basenji, Bear, when I was growing up. It's a two cat household and I'd love to add a cat friendly Basenji to the mix, and also meet and learn more about the Basenji community out there.
Every single person who loves the breed has a right to care when irresponsible breeders get support. I am sorry you don't get that. Nor was it s lecture...it was facts.
Admittedly Basenjis and sheep are a problem.
Thank you for such friendly welcomes.
I have had some Basenjis who I did eventually manage to 'train'!!? to be safe with sheep and could wander among them and occasionally help to herd, others (including my current pack are killers and can't be left to wander freely where the sheep are. We have a double gate system for visitors.
There was a time when I could have taken them all out for walks together but now I take them 3 at a time and my whole day is taken up with exercising dogs.
When I get the hang of my digital camera I'll post some piccies.
Nomrdggs - I'm not sure I have kept my sanity!!!!
Tanza - I have actually seen some of our original imports - and I have attempted to breed as close to the original type as I can. I bred my last litter 4 years ago.
