    While browsing ing the library the other day I saw that the January DogFancy magazine had an article (with pics:-) on the Basenji breed.

    FINALLY our wonderful dogs are being featured. But that can be scary too. After all, we don't necessarily want everyone to know how wonderful they are. When popularity goes up, so do the numbers of back yard breeders looking to make fast bucks. :(

    I bought the issue, it does a good job in describing that these aren't the easiest dogs and have crazy idiosyncrasies… It was worth buying... I'm a geek and saved it when I was done reading it!

    100% agree with your comment, Fran. Having a well-bred, two year old Dalmatian before the 101 Dalmatians movie was released in 1996, we have firsthand knowledge of what happens when a breed becomes popular. It broke our hearts to watch the backyard breeders pump out the Dalmatians. As with a Basenji, you need to know what you're getting with a Dalmatian; not just cute spots. They ended up getting a bad reputation because the wrong families got them. Seeing B's on the commercials and in the magazines scares me about what will happen to them as they become more popular.

    @DolceMomma:

    Me too! Basenjis are incredibly photogenic. Many people don't read the details, just see the picture and think "I want one of those!" God help the breed if it becomes "flavour of the month". All it would take would be one celebrity to display a Basenji prominently…..

    "In order to get along with a Basenji, you have to be at least half as smart as the dog!"

    It's a very well-written article and I think it accurately describes the basenji's idiosyncrasies that we all know and love and that the average person would find frustrating. I think the take-home message for those who don't know basenjis is that they should educate themselves more before taking the "plunge". Personally, I was thrilled to see a b/w pictured. My only complaint is that the main cover dog wasn't a basenji!

    Lisa, how about an article that actually says that Basenji's can bark. We know they cannot continuously bark like other dogs but we do know they can give us one or two good loud barks. We also know besides the Roo and the Brrrr, they can make cat like noises, and several other sounds. An article called and describing the "Sounds of the Basenji" and/or what each sound might indicate and mean might be interesting.

    My mother cut out that picture and brought it to me. He is a pretty one, isn't he? I'm partial to the black and whites.
