Member Introductions
  • Hi were Ed and Tammy from California. we just got our first basenji a few months ago, and are having a great time with him. He's a real handful but it's worth it, he's such a great dog. we look foward to being active members of the basenji forums. i've seen most of the pictures posted here, and i must say those are some cute dogs. we'll try to put some pictures of our dog puma up possibly this week. thank you! -eD and Tammy

  • Hi and welcome! I'm kind of new too and it's a lot of fun to see and "hear" about other Basenjis, etc. They are all so cute, aren't they? Congrats on the new pup and "enjoy the ride"…they are handfuls, but definitely worth it!

  • Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing pics of your dog(s).

    Agreeing ... we'll celebrate and enjoy Rebel, nevermind the breeder. Once here, Rebel is family. :)

    Wonderful way to share your experiences and thoughts on a first year with basenji in your life.. I second the thoughs written by Andrew….health, temperament and having a breeder available 24/7 is key....
  • Love my Basenji's

    @wizard: They look like they are perfectly matched - and neither one looks "fat". I have uploaded the contrasting photos. Go have a kick

    Yep, we do agree on most things (bossy? or boss?)(both I think-it has something to do with me being a control freak-I like orderly fashion). True there are some dogs/bitches that will just not get along EVER. If I do leave with dogs that typically don't get along-grouch,snarl,sneer,etc.-I'm sorry-but they're separated. Either in separate rooms or crates. If you can't get along when I'm here, then chances are you won't when I'm not!! I did train other people and their dogs (notice I put people first) but as you say-meager. Now I just train my own, the occasional consult and focus on grooming, and the B's. I would love to make a living with just dogs, but, alas, that is really hard to do!
  • It's my first day!

    Hey thanks! A Basenji owner's manual is exactly what I've been looking for. The more I learn about these amazing creatures, the more I realize that everything I've ever known about dogs and puppy training is pretty much useless! These guys have rules of their own! I will send for my copy right away. I really appreciate all of the help I've received from everyone here so far. It's already proven extremely helpful. No help like that from those with "on the job" experience! I look forward to sharing my experiences with Missi and Cooper as well. Thanks again! ~Beth
