Hello from Upstate New York

Member Introductions
  • After a two year span of not having a dog or dogs, I have done much research to find a certain type of breed that matches what I am looking for and the Basenji fits it perfectly! I will pick up our new little boy in latter January. I am glad I have found this site with such good questions and answers, I can just read all day long (until the puppy gets here!). I look forward to being a part of the Basenji community!

  • Hi and welcome to the forum. I didn't see this post until now. Things have been a little quiet lately. Feel free to ask questions and I am sure someone will show up to answer them!

  • Welcome. Yes, something is very wrong with the forum.. this didn't pop up for me until now either.

    Where are you getting your pup from? Any pictures yet?

  • I had to place a email into the administrator for my post to show. I really like this site, I hope it works better.

    To answer your question: I'm getting my puppy from Mata Hauri Basenji in about three weeks. I have been able to watch the puppies grow on facebook. They post videos every week for us to see.

  • Many of her dogs are related to my C-Me and Franie in the pedigree, I have been watching them grow also

  • Congrats on the new addition…such a fun and challenging time, I miss it- puppy season kills me :)

  • Also many facebook-pages dedicated to basenji's.
    Enjoy!

  • Thanks for the replies to my "Hello". I was wondering if I had walked into a ghost town…...seems there is a problem with the site at times.

    I have had the pleasure of owning both breeds. There is another forum member here who also has a basenji and a Shiba. Lol, they are both very stubborn breeds. Depending on what you want they are very different though. Shibas need a lot of care for grooming, they blow a lot of coat and can get matted fur, on the other hand they make a very good watch dog. Basenjis don't bark but make a multitude of other noises. Their coat is nice and short for less grooming, though they too blow coat, just not as bad as a Shiba. They both maintain puppy characteristics their whole lives and live long lives. I think our Shiba was 16 when we lost her. Both need a lot of socialization, with both people and dogs. This is a must. Good luck with whatever breed you choose. Look at parents for temperament and do your reading on health problems and make sure you adopt from a reputable breeder.

    @Arti: Welcome to the forum ! I am so sorry for your loss…Max runs to blue meadows...over rainbow bridge... Good luck to you.Kisses from Arti:) Thank you. And big kisses back to Arti. I think Arti has singlehandedly (or should I say singlepawedly??) made black and white the "in" color of the year in basenji fashion! :) Such a beauty!

    Your baby is very cute! Let's see, a Basentzu or a Shihsenji… Shih Tzus I have known have been loves, but tend to be airheads, and Basenjis are frequently smarter than we are, so who knows what you'll get! Welcome to the Forum! Terry
