  • @Kirsten:

    Welcome! Love the action shot!:)

    Thank you so much everyone for your kind words! I hope I'm replying correctly ;)

    Tanza and Agilebasenji – yes indeed! She is one of Cindy's! :D Absolutely that whole realm of agility and lure coursing is fascinating. wish we were closer as we know nothing about it.... to me, if I were a basenji, THAT's what I'd want to do all day !! Too fun for words. :)
    Sire is Bev's from Arizona, he's 100% african line.

    etzbseder - I see you're in Tucson? :) We're in north central Phoenix. After the drive and back to texas, Tucson doesn't seem far away anymore.... hehehe do you know if all the AZ new pups are in your area or all over AZ? Would be fun that's for sure to get them all together! :)

    Kirsten - thank you so much! Those photos are cindy's! ;) Thankfully now she's here we can take all kinds of new photos! YAY!

  • What a great looking little girl!

    Welcome to the forum!

  • I imagine that Bev has already told you about this group, but just in case, there is a Basenji group in Phoenix: Basenji Fanciers of Greater Phoenix.

    We spend the winters in Arizona; unfortunately, too far away from either Phoenix or Tucson to make regular trips over for the get togethers (especially considering that diesel is now nearing $4.00 per gallon and will probably be well over $5.00 by next winter :( ).

  • What an utterly cute puppy! Congrats!

  • LindaH - oh I know…. gas is increasing like crazy!! We'll definitely check them out! Thank you so much! Looks like a lot of fun and a great resource too .... :)

  • Glad your here with us.

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Glad your here with us.

    Sharron, are you from Poulsbo then looks like? My husband grew up in Poulsbo! Lemolo Point. Very small world!!!! :) I lived in Poulsbo too for a couple of years, very pretty town…. miss it.

  • Welcome to the forum! And congrats on your lovely looking puppy :)

  • Hana, I work in Poulsbo, and live in Silverdale. My folks had a small house on Liberty Bay. I cried when we had to sell it.
    Its a great town!

  • Welcome to the forum from the UK. What a cute puppy, I look forward to seeing more pictures.

    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    I have had the pleasure of owning both breeds. There is another forum member here who also has a basenji and a Shiba. Lol, they are both very stubborn breeds. Depending on what you want they are very different though. Shibas need a lot of care for grooming, they blow a lot of coat and can get matted fur, on the other hand they make a very good watch dog. Basenjis don't bark but make a multitude of other noises. Their coat is nice and short for less grooming, though they too blow coat, just not as bad as a Shiba. They both maintain puppy characteristics their whole lives and live long lives. I think our Shiba was 16 when we lost her. Both need a lot of socialization, with both people and dogs. This is a must. Good luck with whatever breed you choose. Look at parents for temperament and do your reading on health problems and make sure you adopt from a reputable breeder.

    You have done a great thing for that dog. Bless people like you who will adopted and rescue these wonderful dogs (and I mean any breed). My basenji mix came from a shelter also. She has been a handful, but a very much loved hanful. I wish you well in caring for your new furbaby. Oh, and I have friends who give a benadryl to their standard poodle everyday. Sounds like you have started down the right path for this dog and it's future sounds brighter.
