    After a two year span of not having a dog or dogs, I have done much research to find a certain type of breed that matches what I am looking for and the Basenji fits it perfectly! I will pick up our new little boy in latter January. I am glad I have found this site with such good questions and answers, I can just read all day long (until the puppy gets here!). I look forward to being a part of the Basenji community!

    Hi and welcome to the forum. I didn't see this post until now. Things have been a little quiet lately. Feel free to ask questions and I am sure someone will show up to answer them!

    Welcome. Yes, something is very wrong with the forum.. this didn't pop up for me until now either.

    Where are you getting your pup from? Any pictures yet?

    I had to place a email into the administrator for my post to show. I really like this site, I hope it works better.

    To answer your question: I'm getting my puppy from Mata Hauri Basenji in about three weeks. I have been able to watch the puppies grow on facebook. They post videos every week for us to see.

    Thanks for the replies to my "Hello". I was wondering if I had walked into a ghost town…...seems there is a problem with the site at times.

    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.

    Hi Jolanda I forgot I was registered for Basenji Forums until I got your email. I will reply to it privately, but I can tell the others on here that health testing has been done on the parents of my planned litter this year. Both have had hips done, been Fanconi tested and had eyes tested. The stud has also had thyroid done. I hope to get thyroid done on the bitch before breeding season. Christine Senjabi Basenjis

    @dunappy: Hie all I'm from New Mexico. I currently have two basenji neutered males named George and Ice Man. I lost my female (their mother) this past weekend at the ripe old age of nearly 17. She was born Dec 19th, 1991 and passed away last Friday Oct 12th, 2007. George and Ice Man are both almost 15 having been born Dec 13th, 1993 and both are still healthy and going strong at the moment. however I know here in the next few years I'm going to be without them and I'm starting to look for a young one to bring in. I lost my first basenji female last year after 16 years very hard. I now have 2 a female and a male. Its been fun they are both from the same litter and my son got a male at the sametime.

    Your baby is very cute! Let's see, a Basentzu or a Shihsenji… Shih Tzus I have known have been loves, but tend to be airheads, and Basenjis are frequently smarter than we are, so who knows what you'll get! Welcome to the Forum! Terry
