Hi I’m Stephanie!

Member Introductions
  • Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie and i recently adopted a dog from the shelter that I believe is a basenji.. In fact, I’ve been so captivated by this breed that I have never heard of, that I have been calling her Basenji! She is a wonderful dog. I just have a lot of questions and hope to learn more about her breed on this forum. The only characteristic of a basenji that she does not have is that her ears do not stick up. They have the extra little flap, but they droop. I know she has been abused and maybe she’s still learning to trust me.. but everything else about her screams BASENJI!!

  • Hi Stephanie, welcome and welcome to the breed.

  • You should share a photo of your mix. We'd all love to meet her.

    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    @SethS Hi & Welcome Seth! Your new girl is gorgeous!! I just love the red & whites and the brindle & whites! My first girl, Darla was red & white so that color really tugs hard at my heart. My second, Dorie was brindle & white & now, brindles tug pretty hard at my heart too but, I know I can't have the darker brindle....too much like my Dorie. I'm not saying I'd get another red/white just because of the color.....there would have to be more than the color! But your new girl is really gorgeous!! I'm sorry about your other one & I'm sure that you look to see if the gate is closed now. It's sad that we learn a lesson like that but I bet you don't have that accident again! Congrats on your new sweetheart!!

    A tired Basenji?!!! Joking apart, I agree with the previous posts. It is really important that she doesn't get something for nothing as Wizard advises make her work for it. Welcome to the Forum to you,Teagan and the others.
