@debradownsouth Thank you for the kind words but I have to admit... I take young adults for my own convenience. I simply don't have time, stamina or energy to deal with the pups as adorable as they are. Having a puppy is like having a baby or too! Did I mention I was not into children and babies or can you guess?lol. I love the retirees. they are already used to crates (although Ollie is now somewhat recalcitrant about getting into hers because she would rather hang out with her now "Mom", lol!! They travel well. They are usually somewhat used to people. Ollie is not used to playing by herself and is just getting used to "big" breeds. She doesn't get the commands "sit, down or stay" yet but we are working on it. She is the champ of the "heel" command however!!

What a relief to find others who lead Basenji-centered lives! We live to adore our three - Blue, a one year old red & white perfect boy, Echo a one year old tiger-stripe red brindle rescued from a tupperware box in a field, and Merlin our 5 year old Basenji-Chihuahua mix (and what a mix he is!). We live happily on the Big Muddy River in Southern Illinois and would love to make lots of Basenji friends! What a great place for info, stories, & pictures about our very Best Friends. Kingmonty, refers to Monty, our beloved Basenji who passed away one year ago from Blastomycosis. It was he that came into our lives as a "free dog" on his way to the pound. He changed our hearts forever and made us true Basenji addicts.
Thank you for this community, we hope to be able to add our love, stories, and knowledge about the breed we are all here to read about.
