Our first basenji

Member Introductions
  • Hello. We got our basenji about 6 weeks ago and her name is Roxy :) She is now 13 weeks old. It's nice to have a place to chat with other basenji owners since no one I know has any idea of what a basenji is. :)

  • Welcome to this great forum, roxysmom. I can relate with you as I am a 1st time basenji owner and no friends who have or heard of Basenji either. You'd have to read my intro for my story. But I have learned so much here. Duke is about 10 mos old now. Best wishes with your 1st steps in training Roxy. A big bottle of Nature's Miracle will help you. :)

  • Welcome to Basenjiland 101. This forum covers it all and I wish I had known more when I first took on a Basenji. I'm thankful it is here now and love learning. Congrats on your new addition and I'm sure you will have some funny stories to share..Basenjis are as comical as they are challenging!

  • Welcome to our basenji haven. I too got a basenji/mix without knowing anything about the breed. Thanks to the wonderful folks on this forum, I am learning and have a wealth of knowledge from which to draw, thanks to all the experienced basenji owners here at the forum.

  • Welcome, this forum is lots of fun and GREAT information about Basenjis, of course!

  • Welcome, great dogs, great people, great information….great fun.:)

    Post some pics when you can;)

    Delighted that Kane is finally on the mend - you will see his weight gain in leaps and bounds now he no longer has those unwelcome little visitors. Keep a close eye on him though and get back to the vet at the first sign of any more troubles. good luck to you both !

    Congrats on your puppy…. has he (or his sire/dam) been health tested for Fanconi and PRA with the DNA test? Very important this if this has not been done for his Sire/Dam that you have your boy tested. And even if they have been tested, never hurts to follow up with having him done also.

    As mine age I try to keep a bit of weight on them because I know they may reach a stage when they just don't keep weight as the organs weaken.

    Cairo is growing well, he's lovely. I know what you mean about the black eyeliner job, Malaika has it too.

    i found the only thing that gets Sandies attention now days is a rolled news paper… i dont hit her with it, just the site of it and me slapping it against my legg, usually makes her stop what ever she is doing...usually its nothing major... chasing the cats...or if she just wont stop beating me up after we play...
