Member Introductions
  • My name is Janice, and I have been actively showing Dobermans since the mid 70's. I have finished my share of dogs, have been active in obedience, match show judging, and of course, comformaton showing. I have felt that the exhibitors in the Doberman circle, are not friendly, nor do they support each other when someone wins..I have owned a wonderful Basenji for about 4 years, and think he is the coolest most loyal dog I have ever owned.
    I just aquired my first show puppy, Zaharah, from an East Coast breeder, who has been friendly, supportive, and just a wonderful woman, Debbie Hauri. This little puppy bitch, is flashy, loving, so smart, and friendly. She fits my household like a glove, and rules the roost in my heart, as well as my other Basenji, my show Doberman, and my pet minpin. Everyone is a happy camper.. I just wanted to introduce myself to all of you, and hope to be in the show ring by late March with this wonderful little blessing..

    Welcome to the forum Janice! I am familar with your breeder, she produces quality dogs.

    Great forum, enjoy, post some pics of that B!:D

  • Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing pics of your "family."

  • Tahnk you for the warm responses to my introduction. My two Basenjis are , Dale a 4 yr old red and white, out of Bud Light King, who I had to neuter due to my male Doberman not accepting another male into the hoousehold, shame, he is georgeous.. I have not named my little bitch, who I got from Debi Hauri, who is brindle and white,, a puppy to die for!!!! I call her Zaharah, but haven't thought of a registered name yet .. I will post pictures as soon as I get some taken..
    watch for her in early April on the East Coast.. Janice

  • Welcome! Frankly we got and finished our bitch (she is now 7) and I found all the senji people helpful and kind. Sure, you want your own dog to win, but none of the nastiness that is so sadly common among Rottie people. :(

  • Hi Janice! Look forward to seeing pictures of your pack!

  • I am so thrilled by everyone being so nice to me.. I have been an obedience judge at match shows since the 80's, and the funniest breeds to watch, always had my compassion and humor, but never saw a Basenji dare I try with Dale? I would love to try lure coursing with him HE actually comes when I call him… all right not Every time but at least 85% of the time.. I feel that Basenjis not only look so sweet, act so funny, move so royally, and love so hard, think on their own, but I could only wish to find a man who was the same....smiles Janice Rivendell Farms

  • Hi Janice! And welcome… Thought you'd get a kick out of my two: Lexi & Ayda!

  • Welcome! This is a great place to share, learn and have fun.

    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.

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    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
