  • I received this on another list I'm on {I think a few of you are there too}.
    I have no info. other than what is posted here, but figured it wouldn't hurt to spread the word.
    If you have an idea of where this dog belongs, let me know and I'll pass the info along.
    –---------------------------

    Hello all -

    I live in Hudson Massachusetts. This morning I visited our dog pound
    to confirm that the dog officer has a basenji in his custody.

    Female, red/white, sweet disposition, looks to be well fed. I have a
    photo... email me & I'll send it to you. As far as I know, the pound
    does not scan the dogs it brings in.

    I'm trying to spread the word. Someone must be missing this sweet girl!

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    Well, take care and get better. When you are up to it, the conversation can continue. For now, chicken soup, tea, lots of rest and follow doctor's orders.
  • Ayo finally found another basenji!!

    Filas are classified as Dangerous Dogs in the UK. Obviously a case of nurture not nature.

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
