New Basenji Friend!

Basenji Talk
  • Anubis's MommyA

    So I posted on the Lawton OK Craigslist PETS section seeing if there were any other Basenji owners in the area to suggest a play date. And surprisingly in Fletcher (SMALL town nearby with barely 500 people) someone emailed me who has a Female Basenji. I havent seen her yet but we are going to set up a play date sometime soon! :) Anubis is going to have a new friend! I was very surprised to actually get a response…especially from someone in such a small town!

    Owned by Anubis and Casey (the Pitbull mix)!

    Good to hear that Anubis is to have a new friend - what a coincidence that there is another Basenji nearby.

    Even with us living in a highly populated area, I am always overjoyed when we come across another basenji. Hope the b's have a wonderful time together! Remember to take pictures!

    @theoriginaldev As others have said, an older dog would be better on neutral ground. A puppy will probably go really well. From my own experience, a bit of initial posturing from the older dog, then when they realize it’s playtime...the games will commence. Good luck!

    I remember when I was a child there were two Great Danes at a store we used to frequent in summer. They were very patient with children, even the ones that tried to ride on their backs! I am sure a Basenji pup is less objectionable than a toddler. :)

    Well I will tell you a couple of differences - walking basenjis you typically have 1 boy one girl - and stay away from other dogs. I can walk 2 or 3 bigs and 1 little and they just walk along - not as dog aggressive as some basenjis can be - still as food aggressive. Similar play styles - butt up. Since the basenjis at my house a Seniors - once the bigs get BIG I don't usually let them play together because a 2 year old big anything and a 10 or 15 year old anything not a good combination. The hardest thing to get used to was - they bark. They are VERY attentive to everything outside of the yard when they are out and need to alert me. A 57 lb dog in your lap is heavier than a 20 lb dog and takes up more space. Like basenjis I have some that are on your lap, some right next to you and some within arms length in case you drop something. Like basenjis - they are a female led group BUT they don't seem to have to have that continuous discussion with each other on who is in charge.

    That's ok who wants life to be easy and nothing ever happening?????? Yes we now have three gates and tons more fun and laughing. Out ten year old shiba has even got up and is now playing more and running around like she is a pup she don't run as long but that is a good thing for us. The phones and cell phones we have to really really watch or they are gone. The tv remote was gone once but Jaycee got a treat for that beacuse my husband watch's to much tv anyway and this away it was a whole lot harded but we found it the next day. We have learned whats Jaycee's is Jaycee's whats ours is Jaycee's and anything else is Jaycee's. Rita Jean
