    Hi all!
    We are very excited to have found this forum! My name is Audrey and my boyfriend is Conal. Our two devil B's are Princess Sophie Cat and Good Ol' Stick. Sophie (a black and white girl) is over four years old and Stick (our red and white boy) is ten months. They are both rescue dogs from shelters in CT and NY. We all reside in Connecticut on the Thames River. Sophie and Stick's hobbies include looking out the windows at boats passing, soaking up as much sun as they can, stalking the evil paper towels in our house, and partcipating in the Basenji-500 (no space too small). :p

    @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 !

    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.
