Michigan Basenjis

Member Introductions
  • Hello-

    I live in Grand Rapids Michigan with my five month old puppy. We are planning a play date with three of the other puppies from the litter and thought we would invite any area basenjis as well.
    June 16th we are all going to meet at the hillcrest dog park around 12pm. If anyone else is in the area and would like to come let me know.
    Thanks for looking!

    How nice for the invite and wonderful to get all your pups littermates back together! Let us know how it goes. I'm interested to know if you can tell they remember each other. We're about 2-1/2 hours from GR - not exactly nearby. Hope you all have a good time. :)

  • I do have to say the play date was quite fun. I was great to see how pretty they have all gotten. I was most interested by the way that they were so much ore territorial over the park with their siblings around. Piggy is almost never aggressive with any dog (showing teeth, etc) but with her siblings it was war. They learned to play and had a great time though :).

  • I would love to get some Bs together for a play date. I'm starting to think Lenny may only be dog aggressive with non B's. He and Tayda spent a month with 6 other B's and it was fine!

    Anyone near the Ann ARbor, Michigan area?

    @allyn said in Basenji mix?: Meanwhile I know that like a Basenji, he should never be off leash, and we always need to make sure the gate is securely shut, I have had Basenjis for a long, long time now. I have always let them run off lead in the woods away from traffic. They have all been taught - and I have had up to eight at a time although am now down to one, soon to be two (!) - to return to me if I whistle. Basenjis CAN be taught to run free and to obey commands. Yes, gates should be kept shut, tightly, at all times. But away from traffic, they can be trained to behave and allowed to run free. I have bought a puppy sling for my new boy so I can take him to the woods with Hoover, and let him meet lots of people and thoroughly socialise until he has had his shots. I don't intend to deprive Hoover of her freedom just because of the puppy. He will learn to walk on a leash but mostly he'll be the hunter nature intended him to be.

    i found the only thing that gets Sandies attention now days is a rolled news paper… i dont hit her with it, just the site of it and me slapping it against my legg, usually makes her stop what ever she is doing...usually its nothing major... chasing the cats...or if she just wont stop beating me up after we play...
