Hello to All

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.

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. :( So give Pippi a hug for me.

    Dave hello, I also am new to this site. I had my frist Basenji for sixteen years and lost her last year. I could only go for about a month before getting my next Basenji. I really love this breed I have two now. Good luck in your search for your next Basenji.
