Adult Basenji and Condos

Basenji Talk
  • Anyone own adult Bs that lives in a Condo? Any thoughts/advice or stories about living with them? How is the Howling?

  • Not all Basenjis are vocal…If you mean what we call a flat, (what's the difference between a condo and an apartment?) my boy lives in one - it's not ideal, but perfectly doable with plenty of walks. Somewhere (park in my case..) to let him off the leash so he can run is a must for me (others opinions may vary...)

  • Works great, but my Basenji is rather quiet. Not vocal at all other than the usual yawn.

    I guess it depends on the Basenji. Mine will sleep all day, but even still he has a lot of room to roam around while I'm gone. He gets a walk a few times a day as well.

  • Thankfully I am close to those who live above and below me because Oakley was horrible when his separation anxiety was bad..while he is super quiet its the whining, crying and howling from me leaving that others could clearly hear.
    I was always worried about it. Luckily, his anxiety is much much better and while sometimes he will have his moments, it's few and far in between.

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

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

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
