Basenji Christmas songs?

Basenji Talk
  • Okay, all basenjis love "Baroo Christmas." Yes, I know I have too much time on my hands. Can't think of any more right now anyway!

  • A preface….
    Our dogs ring a string of sleigh bells when they need to go out.


    Sleigh bells ring. Are you listening?
    I have to pee. The snow is glistening.

    A beautiful sight, yellow snow in the night.
    Be careful in the winter wonder land!

  • That is hysterical! I hope you'll write some more.

  • I'll bar-ooo for Christmas,
    You can count on me.
    Don't like snow upon my toes
    All presents are for me.
    Christmas Eve will find me,
    Where the love light gleams.
    I'll bar-ooo for Christmas,
    If only for some treats. :D

    There ya go, a basenji version of I'll be Home for Christmas!! LOL

  • Now that one's destined to become a classic!!

  • LOL …u guys sound so fun! I love Basenji ppl ...we are all so great! loltwiddles08@hotmail.com :)

  • Hi Twiddles, I had intended to write a Basenji Christmas song but have been too busy to do it. I'm hoping to do something for the New Year. This was a great topic, wasn't it?

  • sure was! lol so how are you? How many Bs do you have? I want to have another one sometime…but idk where to find one! lol even if I dont breed my dog, I just want the commpany of another B cuz she is 7...yes i accidentally put 5 on another part, but she is 7. So i dont know how much longer she'll live! Im scared...I love her to death!!!!
    Good talking to you Lenora
    ~Whitney (Have a Very Merry Christmas!)

  • I only have one, Abbey, and she'll be 3 on Christmas Day. Don't think I could handle more than one. These people that have herds of them are braver than I am!!!

  • that is sweet. I lovethem. im sure i could handle at least one more….maybe not to many more tho lol ...I hope u and Abby have a merry christmas

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol
