Member Introductions
  • well we got Jack the beginning of August last year, as soon as we got here. he was only in the humane soc. for about 5 hours and we picked him up! love at first site…lol

  • How lucky for him to be found so soon. And how lucky for you!

    Jazz is our first Basenji also, and while I love several breeds of dogs {most are large}, I don't plan on ever owning anything else.

  • oh, i KNOW, it might be a bad thing tho, they are kind of expensive from a breeder, and we just lucked out on find Jack, how could someone NOT want him, He is amazing

  • Welcome!! And congrats on the baby & your recent marriage!! You'll love it here & you can get lots of help with any B questions. There's a thread somewhere on separation anxiety. You can do a search & read more…:D :D

  • THANK YOU all very much!!

  • My wife and I got our first dog together (a Basenji of course) just after getting married. Less than 2 years later we got another. I didn't know how attached I was to them until we lost one last year. She was 14. Our friends talked about other breeds available, and I decided I'm not really a "dog person" as much as a "Basenji person". We now have 2 more! There are a lot of Basenji nuts on this site too! Welcome to the forum.

  • cmd, i use to live in Ohio i was born and raised there. i lived in columbus and then in Granville, where are u from?

  • Welcome! That Jack is very handsome, congrats on the baby!

  • We're just outside of Cincinnati and have two 1 yr olds. (Select) Bonnie Bell came from Dr Tracy near Dayton. We drove nearly to Illinois to get Smitty. Smitty is a Hacker Basenji and he is closely related to the girl we lost last year. Ramsey is 12 – don't want to forget the old guy. Oh, sorry this was YOUR introduction thread! Nice to meet another midwesterner.

  • lol. i just miss ohio…i heard the weather was terrible tho, i dont miss that...hehe

  • snow with ice, then ice and more ice!



  • So pretty!

  • It looks BEAUTIFUL!!! aww, i remember the ice storm a couple of years ago, is it THAT bad again? i hope not, but it is VERY pretty!!!

  • Hi Kira

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    @Rita: Pat yes we did get Jaycee's AKC application at the time we got her. Have not got cert back yet as we were really slow in her name made us slow in mailing. Rita Jean Great, it would be good if you gave Sally W the information for her website to update the pedigrees. Many of us rely heavily on the pedigree site when thinking about breeding and researching dogs…. You can do contact Sally at Zande Basenjis (just do a seach for her website and drop her an email with the info)....

    I wouldn't recommend getting a basenji until you've organized your new schedule with baby. basenjis are wonderful dogs, but require a lot of attention and stimulation. If you can't provide that, he could become a frustrated dog and cause mischeif. I've also read that they aren't the best with children. I haven't had the best experience with my basenji and daughter. It has a lot to do with the fact that we can't give him sufficient attention and exercise like he needs. he also hasn't adjusted to my daughter's presence either. that may not be a problem for you because you're having baby first then dog. they say its always a plus because it allows the child to establish a dominence over the dog, since child was there first. i don't want to be a sour apple, but i just want to let families with children know that it can be difficult and dangerous if proper care isn't given. its also unfair to the precious breed if they cant have the active life they need and crave.
