Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.

Hello my name is Andrew and I am looking into getting a Basenji. I had a Basenji mix growing up and he was one of the smartest dogs I've ever owned. The more I read about Basenji's the more it explains all of the weird quirks he had. Hopefully my new dog will be just as strange.

Hi Andrew. I'm in the Atlanta area also. My name is Robyn and I have several Basenjis. Please contact me if you want to meet my basenjis.

I have people come over to meet my basenjis all the time just to meet the breed. Not to sell puppies or dogs but as part of breed education. Many responsible breeders have people come to their homes or meet with them at events so people can meet the breed. Basenjis are not for everyone and the best way to find out if they are the right breed for you is to meet them.
