  • Hello All!
    My name is Becky and my husband Josh and I are getting our first basenji soon! We are very excited!
    He will be two years old in December and he is a beautiful trindle named Hooligan.
    We had been looking for the right dog for us for what seemed like forever, then we discovered basenjis and fell in love right away!
    This seems like a wonderful forum - I've been reading the posts for a while and have already gotten some great information from you all.
    I'm looking forward to joining the basenji community and sharing pics of our boy! :)

    Cheers!

  • Congrats! Where are you getting him from?

  • Welcome and enjoy! Hope you have both read up on what to expect. There are some owners real close to you and I'm about 60 miles West in Amherst. Been around them for 30 yaers and ought to know better but keep getting a new one.

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    Hi there :) Morris is from the same litter as Hooligan and our Watson. Nice to know that all three brothers are here on the forum. @Abe: Hello! I have just been watching these forums for the last couple months, but when i saw this post i needed to speak. Hooligan was great; i met him not to long ag. I also got a Basenji from Laura Mae Hesse, My B's name is Morris; i got him a couple months ago from her. He is also almost 2 (turns 2 Thursday!) Laura was very helpful and informative and same with these forums. My experience with Morris so far is, he will chew on anything; wont eat it but just likes to chew on stuff. I have no health problems with him either. All in all i say go for it and get him, his is a beautiful dog, i have had no regrets.

    Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. :( So give Pippi a hug for me.
