    Hello there! I met a Basenji back in New York and immediately fell in love with them! I have been doing research on them for several years, and I'm finally ready to bring one into my family! I know that the seasons for puppies is nearly here and I'm starting to contact responsible and accredited breeders via AKC and BCOA. I live on the Gulf Coast and there are not many breeders in my immediate area. I don't mind traveling to visit/pick up my future Basenji but it slows things down a lot. I can't wait to bring home a Basenji and give it a great home. If anyone has any tips, suggestions or recommendations on Breeders or Resources I am all ears! Thank you, I'm excited to join the Basenji family!

    Hello there,
    Where on the gulf coast are you located? I am in Florida and have two wonderful Basenji girls that I got in south Georgia. I can provide you with the information of the breeder if that is good for you

    Thanks so much! I am in Mississippi. I would really appreciate the info on your breeder. I did get in touch with Pat at Berimo Basenjis and she has been wonderful and seems very experienced and professional. She isn't too far from me either.

    @t-jones Hi. I too am in Florida, Melbourne area. Would you supply me with the breeder you spoke about that is in Georgia? I am looking to replace a recently departed male basenji that we had.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the forum! My Ayo is 9 months old today, and trust me it gets better everyday, it's been amazing having him. Have had about four or five really frustrating days but now I really feel we both got the hang of it. we are actually training for our first show here In a couple of weeks

    Question to all Basenji Owners

    Another thing I've done with mine, I use the patio door to get to the garage when we go for rides and the side door of the house when we go for walks (the front door is never used for anything). That way my dogs always head in a certain direction when "escaping" out a particular door. Although a trainer told me not to that (she insisted dogs need to be kept guessing), it has so far worked for me. Even when the two escapes happened, it was in the particular direction for that door.

    I was struck by the fact that your Bernese lived to be 20 years old! Wow! I know they have had concerns with cancer in the breed, and very few of them live that long. How wonderful for you that you got to have her for that long. Terry
