Great places to Vacation with basenjis

  • MacPackM

    We found a wonderful place in North Carolina last spring (2006), about 10 miles south of Asheville. "Barkwells" is six fenced acres with a pond, and each cabin (had 3 when we were there, now have a total of 5) has a small fenced yard, as well as dog doors and hot tubs for the humans. If all the dogs get along, they can all be out in the big area while you are home, but if you leave the dogs home alone, they have their private yard accessable by their dog door. Really a wonderful place, we stayed on the property for a couple of days and just rested and walked around, but the Blue Ridge Parkway is only 10 miles away, and the scenery is gorgeous. Not cheap, but a real treat for us after not taking a vacation for over 10 years, as we didn't want to leave our babies behind, and not many places were "dog friendly".

    We also found a nice cabin with a fenced yard in north Georgia last fall, about half the price of Barkwells, at "Above the Rest" Cabin Rental.

    Now I want to travel more with my 3, am looking for great places to stay, preferably affordable!

    Anyone else found any great places to stay?

    Thanks for the info!! We went to the beach in Pt. Pleasant NJ this summer for 2 weeks. Although we were at a rented beach house there were lots of places nearby that allowed dogs AND they had a man made doggy beach Fishermans Cove Matawan, NJ about 10 min away which was fun for the furries…and they also had a real beach for dogs that you can purchase a pass to in Mantolooking Beach, NJ.

    Wow, Pt Pleasant, NJ… you are bringing back memories.... used to vacation there in the summers with my family growing up and years and years... stayed like two months.... one of our favorite places to eat was the "Lobster Shanty" in Pt. Pleasant... is it still there? I was born and raised in Pa (Bucks Country)....

    Check out Spring Willow Kennels! That's where we got our Basenji, Remus, from Laurie and she was great. She's not far from Cleveland!

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!
