My Basenji Curious George

Member Introductions
  • My name is Helen Schneider of Huntsville, Texas and I have a wonderful basenji named George.
    Trying to post a picture of my Curious George but I am not that great with computers.
    My George is 18 years old !! we found him dumped !! in a remote area north of Midway, Texas.
    He and his "wife" had about 5 puppies when we resued them in 1999.
    He is a hand full but he has enriched my life like I never would have thought.
    Just wondering if George may be one of the oldest basenjis ?
    He has pulmonary fibrosis and was diagnosed in 2013. He currently has a steriod inhaler that has helped.

  • Wow 18 is extremely old. Congrats on keeping him going to such an great age.

    HI, we don't have many breeders in New Zealand but luckily there was one that had a website which came up when I did a search on the web and was given information about more breeders here. If you do find a breeder please make sure they are a responsible breeder and do all the health testing etc. Lot's of info on this forum regarding this and maybe someone can help further. Good luck with your search. Jolanda and Kaiser

    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.

    Remember however for a full thyroid panel usually isn't done at places that do bloodwork… and also what a Vet would call "low normal" for most dogs, for a Basenji it is Too Low...

    I'm sorry for the loss of your dear Basenjis. Losing a pet is so difficult. I hope this site helps you through the transition. Welcome.
