    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

    Thank you for adopting this beauty. She looks so much like my first basenji.

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.
