How Pathetic is THIS?

  • My next B will be named Elliott Ness. The rest of the tribe will be known as the "Untrustables"!!


  • Ha! I love it! My son will love that one too.


  • Love that name Ness and the Untouchables!!!


  • I don't know what we would name ours. Here again, IF we get the one we are hoping to, they are calling him Tsavo. I think we need to find something different. We have a Greyhound named Oreo and an Italian Greyhound named Neba.


  • @JazzysMom:

    Okay, my 16 yo has a problem with my choice of Burgundy Storm for a red Basenji because they are not deep red dogs. So, we {with tongue in cheek} LOL:rolleyes:

    I guess you need to send him to myweb site to see Uncle Burner and second cousin Breaker…
    they are NO an orange-red (i.e., chestnut).. they are a much deeper and darker red... more mahogany than chestnut...
    I have a number of chestnut reds.. but most of my dogs are far darker than the average 'red' basenji....

    I always loved the name of that Simba kid, Bakari's Burgundy Blitz.. just screams a nice deep dark red!


  • haha….I love that...the Untrustables. I want to get another Basneji too. I am thinking of Jack. I love that name. And then Saddie. I liked the name Storm though...that was very Cute. Fits a Basenji well. Or Twister, like the storm. haha. Well good luck on the new B. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!
    Take care

  • I like the name Miles. Not sure why, but I do. Still wanting more… :)


  • I also just LOVE the name Alphie. SOOO cute! Loves It lots


  • Okay, so… Jumoke's Burgundy Storm for the little girl puppy dh won't let me have, and I've been leaning toward Jumoke's Satchmo, King of Jazz for the little boy my dh won't let me have. LOL. Thought Satchmo would go well with Jazzy {you know, Louis Armstrong?}

    Either way, I'd have Jazzy and Storm, or Jazz and Satchmo. LOL In reality, I get neither, but a girl can dream. ;-)

    Anyway, I met both puppies that I can't have last weekend at the show.
    I took pictures of my kids with them, and dh agreed they're adorable, but he's sure they're more adorable in BRYAN'S backyard. sigh.
    One day. . . . .


  • CUTE names! Too bad DH is such a stick in mud ;)

    <–sitting here wishing for a puppy for you :)


  • I think I would have to go with Boss, as my 2 B's always seem to try to become!


  • People who purchased a pup from our last litter came up with a suiteble name for their dog. NIMBUS.
    Nimbus means in Dutch 2 different things.

    • The circle around the head of an angel and
    • some kind of thunder cloud
      What could be more appropriate for a Basenji?
      An angel when he's asleep and a thunder cloud when awake.

  • I always say, be careful what you name your Basenjis… they just might resemble that name.... aka: Storm... Twister... ggg


  • I don't know. I have said before that I think we should have named Jazzy something more in line with her personality. . . like EasyListening.

    She is abnormally well-behaved for a Basenji.

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    @zande - You bet! We must be showing our ages! Or Been There/Done That! Very few times we disagree, but when we do we respect the others point of view!

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !
