hi,my name is Clara,i am a proudly basenji owner from Rijeka Croatia,
have two basenji,a two and a half year old girl Bubbles and her four month old son Yoda,i'm very happy to have found this forum,hope i will find help here(sorry for my mistakes):)
Clara, please believe me that anyone whose first language is not English has my sincere admiration. No reason to apologize for mistakes! If something needs to be clearer, we can ask.
Welcome to the forum. Please post pictures of your dogs! Ask anything, someone here should be able to help.
Thanks to all of you for your kind worlds and welcomes,as soon as my friend translate for me my questions,so they don't get lost in miss spelling and miss understanding i will post them,and of course the pictures of my beautiful little angels :)
Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.
I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any.
One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail.
Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!
Bungwa has a very dry mouth and I only managed to get a very tiny white patch on the test card but it was still sufficient to do the test with that. It only turns white when it's dry - the instructions are quite explicit. Of course as Pat says it could be a bad test form.
I sent you a private message with my info (phone number). We can arrange a visit. Also, when the weather cools down I'll let you know and you can come to a basenji pawtee!

I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around.
Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
