Basenji Park

Show Off Your Dog
  • Ok now you need a covered potty run and send us the plans! I just had to stand out in the cold rain to MAKE ours go. For some reason they won't go in the rain unless I'm out there with them. If the neighbors wouldn't complain, I'd probably figure out how to! …I also want a double entrance into the fence -- like at dog parks. My wife looked at me like I had green goo coming out of my ears. It seemed like a good consideration... ohh, I could have a treat dispencer like at petting zoos for the kids!

    I haven't mastered the rainy day Basenji yet….....if I do, I'm writting a book and hope to be wealthy.:) :) Good luck with that;) HUH?

    Wacko dogs. But yet they like the snow.....go figure?

  • Oh thank goodness!! I was starting to think I might build an underground park for them if they were going to be just as bad about the snow as they are with the rain. C3 absolutely refuses to MOVE if it's raining. He's even tried to "fake" potty so that I can take him back inside.

    I thought the snow was going to be just as brutal. Finally something to look forward to.

  • that is one awesome yard! Our Tut & Zoe would have a blast in a yard that size.

  • Your yard is so beautiful and I am sure it keeps the Basenjis busy for hours. I live in a condo and wish I had a closed in fence area for Cali to run around. I try to take her to my brothers once a week so she can run around leash free.
    I am not sure if there are any Dog parks in Louisville, Ky area, but I will have to check. About the rain, I know this sounds strange, but if I use an umbrella when it is raining Cali will go out and do her business quickly. She hates to get wet and especially her feet. I live in a wooded area and there is a certain section that has a lot of leaves on the ground due to the seasons changing and she will stand on the leaves to potty. My neighbors look at me like I am crazy:)

    Crazy…...nah.:) Just a dedicated Basenji owner.;)

  • Your yard is like a person and 'senji paradise! VERY nicely done! How do you winter over so many tropicals? If you say you have a greenhouse I'm going to turn as green w/ envy as the Grinch! ;) :D Simply amazing and so breathtaking! You've done an amazing job!

  • Damn, Lux was looking over my shoulder and saw the B Park. He want's to know when we're going. THANKS ALOT! ;)

  • BB…Just let us all know when the Grand Openning is!!!!

  • Thanks Mark, welcome to the forum. Put your snow shoes on and trek on down to PA.:D Sadly it's not as nice and colorful at Basenji Park this time of year.:(
    It's a labor of love and I can't wait for the warm weather to return so I can plant more stuff!:eek:

    @creambasenji Please start a new topic/thread in Member Introductions when you upload an image of your "cream" basenji. That way, more people will see it. (thanks!)

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    There are now DNA tests available that can pinpoint what your dog might be genetically. Some companies can only do 30 or so breeds but most advertise well over 150. Why should you care - well it is a way to know what sorts of things healthwise you should be on the lookout for as many breeds have unique health issues. I was at the vet last year and there was a puggle there with an eye issue - the owners shared what it was and it is common in beagles. They then went on to say that they had trouble with the other eye before and it was an issues specific (although not exclusive) to pugs. So much for hybrid vigor. Darling picture though - good luck

    We got Killian from a breeder in Ohio–-Jim Edgerton. That's where he had gotten our previous male basenji. We took Logan and Jasmine to his place and looked at several 1 year olds and a puppies and Jasmine eliminated the others and we agreed with her pick.
