Hello from Redmond, WA USA!


  • Hi! My name is Merry and I am an artist and craftsperson living in Redmond, WA with my hubby who makes video games for a living and my rather lazy, 13 year old Basenji named Tano.

    Tano didn't used to be so lazy but I think after so many years living with a pair of crazy Boston Terriers who needed constant reminding who was 'top dog' she's decided to kick back and take it easy now that we've moved into our new, Boston-free, townhouse. Nowadays she's satisfied with curling up on her sock monkey blankie and going for the occasional tear up and down the stairs.


  • Welcome to the Forums Merry & Tano. Sounds like your senior girl is having a privileged life now. My name is Jill and have 2 B-mixes. This is a wonderful place for info and gab about our B's. Enjoy!


  • Hi Merry!

    You said that you are an Artist, have you done anything with Tano as your subject?

    Please post some pics of Tano.

    Welcome!

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    I always ask people whether they like cats. I tell them a Basenji is a lot like a cat in a dog's body. They're smart, know what you want, but prefer to please themselves rather than you. Then I give them my tag line (which I use for Arabian horses as well) ;)
