  • Hi. I don't have a Basenji but I'm acquainted with them and am considering acquiring one. I do "long-term" scouting before I get a dog. I gave nine years thought to my Dalmatian and took up riding a recumbent bike a year and a half before I got him. Raleigh is going to be 10 in August and still going strong. He's healthy except for a seizure disorder that showed up the day before he turned 21 months. He recently started having neurological disorder and I remembered that coconut oil helps dementia so I started him on that. It saved his life because I would have had to have him put down eventually. When he does leave the fold, I would like to get a smaller dog but one I can do things with. My Chihuahua, Jack, is sturdy and goes almost everywhere with me, but he can hardly go for a bicycle run. I'm retired and home almost all of the time.
    Anyway, any information on living with a Basenji, reputable breeders in Dallas or Oklahoma, etc, will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Leslie

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!
