    I am a new member to this site. My wife and I have had Basenjis since the 70's. We are a part of the Fanconi web site, as we lost our Fanconi boy basenji, Toby, several years ago at age 6 1/2.. Our basenjis are now rescues from BRAT. We have two presently, we had a third basenjis, Jade, but we lost her at the age of 5 to a brain tumor. Cody is our younger basenji, age 7 and Emma is age 8. Cody has been blind for over a year and a half, due to SRDS at age 5. He does very well and gets around fantastically, although his chasing squirrels days are behind him. Emma is the queen of the house and one of the most affectionate basenjis that we have had. Would like to post some pixs of our basenjis, as soon as I can figure out how to do it.

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    Yep, when it comes to Basenjis, it pretty much is a small world. Humvee, aka Tex Son, (he got his call name because he was the biggest puppy in his litter) has had a great show career, and you couldn't ask for a sweeter temperament - although the whole litter was was fabulous. His mom was a total love, and his dad is still incredibly handsome and devil-may-care at almost 11 years old. Hum loves to play with puppies and hang out in the house with his human mom. So although I haven't met Reba, I'm sure he will pass on his love bug genes! We will be hoping the news is good and you soon have a noisy, lovable troublemaker in your life. Terry

    @Scampy: Hello, everyone! I am so excited to have stumbled upon this forum! I belonged to Basenji Companions until last year, and I miss the community and advice. I have one basenji, a 10-year-old red & white male named Toby. I adopted him six years ago as a "golden opportunity" dog when his show/breeding days were over. He shares the house with three humans and a cat. (We may be inheriting another cat, but don't tell him…I'd sort of promised him a little sister.) Any other west Michigan folk out there? I was born in Kalamazoo! Welcome to the forum! Tabatha
