    Hello Basenji people!
    I got my 1st Basenji a year ago in July after about a year or so of research about the breed. I was reluctant after all the warnings and horror stories of their destructive habits and independant natures.
    I really think for me I had enough doggy experience with a wide variety of some other difficult breeds that I have hardly noticed. In fact, my B is one of the best behaved, reliable dogs I have ever owned. Now, of course he isn't going to hang on my every whim like my St. Poodle did but I know his limitations. lol
    He is a wonderfully unique little guy and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Or should I say his.:D
    I bought him for show and our very 1st time in the ring [after getting the gum off his head :p ] we got a 3 point major win! For those of you who aren't familiar, you need 2 Major wins with a total of 15 points to get a championship title. I was so stunned, I thought I was going to faint. By the way, I found out by accident, 2 minutes to ringtime, that hand sanitizer takes gum out of fur very nicely!;)
    He just turned 2 and I'm looking forward to many new adventures with him.

    Tuneysmom,

    Welcome to the forum. I hope you are going to tell the story about how he got gum on his head!

    Welcome! This is a great place for all to share about this wonderful breed! Lots of luck on the show circuit, but it doesn't seem like you need it!

    A belated welcome to you and your Basenjis. Have you consulted the breeders of Wrigley about breeding from her? this is a big step you're intending to make!

    She has been fixed. As for the falconi, I dont think any of the basenjis that I have have every been tested for it. as for the country hounds and hearts place. I went by the address listed on the site and it appears that no one has been there for a while. Very scary looking place.. overgrown, strange smell, fence pieced together with kennel/crate doors, vacant car. I called the number and it was disconnected and I tried a second number and have been waiting for over a week for someone to call back. We are going to give it the college try to get her "normal" but I want to make sure that I am not doing her a dis-service. I have time before we are slated to move but I also want to make sure that she would be happy. I know deep down that I have not been a great owner to her but I love her very much and don't want to see her harmed in any way. Thanks everyone for the coments and suggestions

    @gneigum: Thank you for the compliments to my dogs. There is not much that I can share about them, as they have only been in our home about three months, although my wife & I agree that it seems like they've been here all their lives. We were blessed to become aquainted with Simone Gaudet - www.beaubri.com - who gave us the lead. The dogs names are Nathaniel (6 in Jan. 09)pedigree at http://www.beaubri.com/Nate.html & Callie (5 in Nov. 08)pedigree at http://www.terrarust.com/pedigree-callie.html. They are, for the most part, very well behaved, & have adjusted extremely well to our home. Callie is like a bossy sister to Nate, & lets him know when she is unhappy with his presence. She is also very protective of her new home & I have to work with her to curb some agression issues with some visitors. Aside from that, we are enjoying them very much. I would enjoy hearing about your B(s) also. G Nate is my girl, Ruby's (Ch. Eldorado 'n Akuaba's Bejeweled) sire. :)
