Michigan Basenjis

Member Introductions
  • Hello-

    I live in Grand Rapids Michigan with my five month old puppy. We are planning a play date with three of the other puppies from the litter and thought we would invite any area basenjis as well.
    June 16th we are all going to meet at the hillcrest dog park around 12pm. If anyone else is in the area and would like to come let me know.
    Thanks for looking!

    How nice for the invite and wonderful to get all your pups littermates back together! Let us know how it goes. I'm interested to know if you can tell they remember each other. We're about 2-1/2 hours from GR - not exactly nearby. Hope you all have a good time. :)

  • I do have to say the play date was quite fun. I was great to see how pretty they have all gotten. I was most interested by the way that they were so much ore territorial over the park with their siblings around. Piggy is almost never aggressive with any dog (showing teeth, etc) but with her siblings it was war. They learned to play and had a great time though :).

  • I would love to get some Bs together for a play date. I'm starting to think Lenny may only be dog aggressive with non B's. He and Tayda spent a month with 6 other B's and it was fine!

    Anyone near the Ann ARbor, Michigan area?

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    PLEASE visit www.basenjirescue.org and take a look at the current purebred basenji rescues availiable and ready for forever homes. We offer transport options where volunteers are availiable. I just recently flew a dog from Texas to Toronto, A plane ticket for $220.00 bought the dog climate controlled in cabin flight, and the adoption was a success. Please email me if you have any questions! BENDA4BRAT@YAH0O.COM

    It was actually the vet tech wasn't the most brilliant thing on the planet… needless to say I found another vet the next week and they think she might have some bulldog in her... what a mix. I believe that she definitely could have some bulldog in her judging by the way she lays around the house.

    Thanks to all for the warm welcome of basenji owners! We're taking a year off of dog ownership to welcome a foster kid. Actually, we would have liked to foster earlier but our basenji boy was not especially fond of kids, and running activity tended to result in him biting someone in the hiney! Our kids, grown now, will definately be basenji owners someday. Don't know whether my husband and I will or not – we loved Rosco but know we got a good basenji, and don't know if we're ready to lose another room full of furniture to break in a new one! Ha!
