  • thank you…....I will have pic,s soon.....I got her from Mata Hauri Basenjis.....She is a breeder here in NH......and thats a no on owning one before.....

  • welcome Mark

  • Welcome to the forum. I am an east coaster too, in Tennessee. I, like everyone else, am anxious to see pictures… post them soon.

  • Hi Mark and welcome. You will learn lots here! I have and it is my first time owning a basenji and dog!!!

  • Welcome! I bought Nala from Debbie Hauri too. She is our first as well! I'll be posting pictures too. Another Basenji in the snow (let's hope we get some soon!)

  • Nala..when did get yours… from Hauri...

  • Her DOB is 12/14/1998…we picked her up in early February 1999! She's a pretty little tri. I looked into breeders in the area and called Debbie. We arranged to meet at the dog show in Essex, VT in the summer of 1998 and gave her a deposit for a red & white female, but one of her dogs didn't take and she ended up with only red & white males and we really wanted a female. We're happy with her no matter what her color!
    You'll have fun with your pup in the snow...looking forward to seeing pictures!

  • Hi Sharon…..We got her this past tuesday.
    she was born 9/26/06.
    we have named her Cali...she is a bridle....I just have to figure on how to post pic's

    she had 3 females and 1 male.......2 red female and 1 male and female brindle....we took the female brindle.....they were all playful...Cali was shy at first..but warmed up quickly.....

  • What a great name! I know there is another on the forum as well…
    It was so hard to choose which puppy - they were all so darn cute! We chose Nala because she came up to us and the others were all playing with each other. We live in Huntington, VT and the 2 hours ride home with her is one of my fondest memories. We brought a fleece blanket and had some sherpa-type toys and she stayed on my lap and played and snuggled.
    Enjoy her puppyhood and get into a good obedience class right away. I neglected to do that and she's had some socialization issues,e speically on leash with other dogs. Others on the forum might want to give more advice as to how to choose a class or trainer...
    I finally posted some pictures...check under "Show off Your Dog" (or whatever it is exactly!) Just browse around the "help" section for assistance in posting pictures! If I can do it, anyone can!!

  • Hi Mark

    Hi Angie, She does look like a Brindle Basenji. Also i think Basenji's eyes look like they are wearing eyeliner. Hope you and your family are enjoying her and the many wonders of the Basenji breed.

    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

    I got a 15 week old puppy when my female was 8 and my male was 5. Both were happy to have a puppy around. They all spent hours chasing each other and the squirrels in the back yard around. Fortunately my puppy didn't pick up my female's habit of digging up the back yard.
