Possible Basenji Sleep over!!

Basenji Talk

    I am so excited! My office manager has a Basenji she received her from friend a few months ago. She wasn't even aware of her breed but since I found out how close I am to another Basenji I was supper excited. I asked if we could do a play date but my manager isn't a puppy play date kind of person. Anyway my chance finally here, she was mentioning how she will board her dogs at a facility near our job and I offered to take her B and Jack Russel for 2 nights while she is away. I am so excited because Dolce is just a few months younger but will finally be able to communicate and Baroo to another dog that Baroo's! Hopefully this all works out. They are gonna meet soon to see how they get along.

    Be careful what you wish for … there's an older (10 yr?) tri bitch that lives a few blocks away from mine. At first sight of my beasties (4 years ago), she just wanted to tear their hearts out. The first couple of times I visited her owner, she would bite me! Ever since, if she just gets a glimpse of T and G, she goes nuts - though she is fine with me now.

    They met up and it went fine… finally another dog that will chase and or wants to be chased hhaha. Bambi is the Basenji I am watching. I am also watching her friend Smoky a JRT but he isn't getting along as well as they are but hes gonna get plenty of love regardless! Its interesting observing a B who's been on her own for over 6 months now... verses a Basenji who was raised with a non Basenji breed. Bambi barks like her JRT friend Smoky also was not sure what to make of Dolce at first, seems like she forgot how to be a Basenji. She is red and white but seems rather short. Also her tail has a slight curl as my girls is very tight. She has her dewclaw's removed but since the origin of Bambi is not sure she could of been from any one anywhere . She gives lots of kisses which my dog does not... I have to bribe her for kisses. It's so fun watching them and getting into there natural B ways.

    It is a blast to watch Basenjis play and interact with one another. They love to talk the talk and run the run!!!!

    Bambi did not make any Basenji noise… she actually barked a little because she was raise with the JRT but everything else she was full on B loll!

    @B5004EVER , sounds familiar! Yes, they do like to make themselves comfy at your expense. One of mine liked to sleep horizontal across the bed, leaving my husband and me to cling to the edges, as you describe. Another caused us to almost die.....laughing. The covers were pushed up, and when we moved them we discovered her sleeping on her back, legs in the air, little butt right next to our heads! Hysterical! But most of the time our Basenjis were trouble free sleeping companions, although on occasion they did snore....

    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!

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    Basenji Traits Your Basenji Doesn't Have…

    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!
