@debradownsouth Thank you for the kind words but I have to admit... I take young adults for my own convenience. I simply don't have time, stamina or energy to deal with the pups as adorable as they are. Having a puppy is like having a baby or too! Did I mention I was not into children and babies or can you guess?lol. I love the retirees. they are already used to crates (although Ollie is now somewhat recalcitrant about getting into hers because she would rather hang out with her now "Mom", lol!! They travel well. They are usually somewhat used to people. Ollie is not used to playing by herself and is just getting used to "big" breeds. She doesn't get the commands "sit, down or stay" yet but we are working on it. She is the champ of the "heel" command however!!
We are new to the group..

I am Deb, just registered tonight, and I am looking forward to receiving alot of educational information about Basenjis. I think the very best way to learn about any breed is to talk with and listen to the people who share their lives and homes with them on a daily basis. We have owned chihuahuas and pugs for the past 20 years, but have 3 mixed breed rescue family members as well. Raven has been with us since her mistress passed away and Rocky is her son. We think they are mixed with some basenji. She is spayed and he is neutered, Raven is 3 and Rocky is 2. There is only one basenji breeder in the state where we live and I sent her information and pics when Raven first came to live with us. While only a DNA test will conclusively tell us what Raven and Rocky are made up of..lol I still would like to learn about your wonderful basenjis.

hi Deb, welcome! I saw the picture of Rocky - he's a cutie. I thought he looks like a basenji/chi mix?

Gosh, Rocky looks just a dog our neighbors adopted from the Humane Society last year! They were told 'probably' chi-basenji mix. Rocky is very cute, as they all are. Welcome!
