  • Hi everyone!
    I wanted to introduce myself as a new member. My husband and I have a 12 year old female red and white Basenji. Her name is Sienna. Her health is excellent, but we wanted some information from other parents of "senior" dogs. I've read that the average life expectancy is 10-12yrs, but Sienna is so vibrant!! With the exception of a little bit of arthritis and a kidney stone removed two years ago, she is just great. If anyone has an older Basenji, Sienna and I would love to hear from you.

    Thanks!!!

  • Welcome abaker! This is a very good place for all Basenji info. Some here have or know of some B's that have lived 16+ years. I'm a new BASENJI-mix owner - emphasis on the B part of him, now 1 yr old. Please post some pictures. Have fun. :)

  • Welcome, I am new here also

    Every single person who loves the breed has a right to care when irresponsible breeders get support. I am sorry you don't get that. Nor was it s lecture...it was facts.

    Sorry if we sound so disagreeable … but it is so important that the health of our breed is #1 on everyones list and that everyone understands and does as much health testing as possible before breeding... especially since we have genetic problems that we can't test for, the family tree becomes our only way of knowing what we might expect... and it is only fair to people thinking about getting a Basenjis as a family companion that they know what they might expect..... Everyone should visit the BCOA Health site (www.basenjihealth.org) and learn what is being done to find genetic testing and what everyone can do to help
