  • First Basenji's

    I am looking for a sitter who could look after 6months basenji for 2 weeks. We are going for 2 week holidays in jan/feb and we would like to find someone who cares about basenji and would have planty of time to enjoy his company! The basenji owners would be great idea! We live in NYC and we could travel around other NY states, as long as he could stay in a safe and loving home. I dont want to leave him in a dog hotel as i would worry about his stay a lot! Could someone advice me please!!!:confused:


  • I would be more than happy to take care of him! I have a 11yr Basenji boy myself. I'm down by Atlantic City. However, I do not have a fenced in yard. I bring my boy to the dog park to run and walk him everyday. Let me know! =)

    Hello suzee! Thank you so much for your reply, lovelly to know that you have 11yr old basenji boy! :) That sounds as a good experience. Dont worry about the yard, we dont have it as well, we live in an apartment and he loves to stay indoors as long as someone is with him. Plus the winter weather will keep him at home anyway! ;) I'm a housewife so most of the time i stay with him. Do you stay at home too with your basenji?? Before going for some holidays I would love to have him safe in a loving home!

    i currently am unemployed so yes i do stay home with my boy all the time. does your b get along with other dogs? does he sleep in a crate? feel free to call me at 609-879-9388. :)

    Yes our basenji gets along with other dogs. he is a very freindly and cute little boy. He sleeps in a crate when he needs to stay at home alone. But during the night he sleeps in his doggy bed in the bedroom. Thank you for your help! :) We would like to find someone closer to Manhattan who could look after him. If not then we will contact you Suzee, thank you so much for your reply! Hope your basenji is doing good, getting cold! ;)


  • no problem! if you need me let me know =)


  • Hello Armstrong,
    I live in NJ. I'm a longtime breeder of basenjis,35 years to be exact.
    I have a fenced yard and kennel runs. I usually board the puppies that I
    have placed over the years.
    Would be happy to help you with your pup.
    Don't want to give my # on this forum.
    You can give me your contact info.
    I live minutes from Six Flags Great Adventure
    if that is closer for you.

    I would highly recommend Rocky 1 breeder. Yes Armstrong had the best holidays ever when we were away! If you have a basenji try to board with Rocky 1 breeder. My Armstrong was very healthy and without any stress after the boarding. Was good to keep in touch and to know how he was doing, we were very happy. And Armstrong will be back soon! ;) Thank you again Kathryn for your help! Armstrong is missing you a lot! Our best regards!


  • Thank you,Dorina
    for the wonderful review
    I hope that Neeko-Boy responds to me soon.

    Kiss that Armstrong for me, I miss him too!

    @buxton-s-dad I remember tracing your boy for inclusion in the database on line and finding two further siblings from that litter. So - this morning I went back to the AKC website and discovered two more from this litter have been registered - so I have 5 in all from the 6. They will all appear this evening after I have finished entering all the incoming OFA test results !

    Ours are confined to the porch when we leave for work. They have an adequate amount of room to move around and they also have a doggie door they can go out to access the yard. It is great, if it is nice out they go and lounge on the deck and chase those pesky squirrels and if the weather is not good they can retreat back to the porch and lay on their bed inside. They are separated from the rest of the house with a baby gate that mounts to the wall. So far, fingers crossed, they haven't been able to figure out they can jump over the baby gate and it's been 3 years since we have moved into the house.

    I just bought Bella some Merricks Grammy's Pot Pie (dry). It sounds so good I'm tempted to give it a try, LOL!!! I haven't given it to her yet, I'm trying to time it out so I can introduce it slowly… I had to get it at a feed & seed supply store. It IS sad that people are uneducated about the differences of dog foods… but what is worse is that some of these companies don't care how bad the food is for our pets. Another example of how money is more important in their pocket... BTW, for treats we like Old Mother Hubbard!!!:D

    Once you do get a list of vet hospitals go and visit them and ask questions. In my experience the good ones will let you see their examining rooms, boarding area, etc., and are quite willing to answer questions (including prices).
