Ciao from Italy!

Member Introductions
  • Ciao to all, :)
    I'm Sara, I write from Trieste, Italy, a town east of Venice where I live with my fiancee … and Biagio, our year-and-a-half male basenji.. (by the way in Italy Saint Biagio protect and support those suffering from sore throat! ;) )

    We chose to take Biagio home after visiting a sort of pet shop where he was kept alone in a box, and was destined to an ugly end because he was nearly 3 months old at that time and had his nose completely pink, yet. :mad:

    He is absolutely sweet and easy going with most other dogs and cats, and, eventually, his nose is almost totally black (last summer he got sunburnt during a boat trip since it was still pink!)

    Sorry for my English, I will certainly read as much as I can of the forum, but it would be more difficult for me to reply or to tell my stories.. :rolleyes:

    Anyway, happy to be get to know this community!!

    I'm not sure if it is right to write it here, but for those of you who knows a little bit of Italian... take a look here (we're a lively community and loooooove to host new guests from around the world!)

  • Welcome! I'd love to go to Italy, maybe one day. Your english is very good. And jys you're italian is great!

  • Hello and welcome! I hope you can post pictures soon!

  • Welcome! Welcome! I can't wait to visit Italy someday. I am hoping that i will get to go there on my honeymoon, whenever I get married anyways. That was a very touching story about how you got your puppy. I can't wait to see pictures. :)

  • Hello and Welcome to the Forum.

  • Greeting from Europe ( Poland):) :) :)

  • Welcome! Here's a toast to Leonardo! You didn't know Mona Lisa had a Basenji did you.

  • Wilkommen! :) Yeah I know it's German, but I'm from Germany (while living in America) teehee

    I loved Pompeii and Capri (went to Italy last year with my mom)

    Glad to see you guys here with your B!

  • Welcome to the forum, it is a great place to share Basenji information and make new friends! Since you are Italian, you know the meaning of my Basenji girl's name… Bella Bambino Biamondi (she is a girl... my Italian is limited to a few words and I found out later it should have been Bambina). The Biamondi is similar to my great-granparents last name whe they came to America from Italy! :D :D :D :D I dream of someday traveling to Italy!!! Hopefully my dream will come true...

    Thanks to all for your welcome, now I take a ride (;) ) in thw threads.. and read something more about your experiences! :)

    well English speaking you have less problems with gender!!! Anyway, Bella Bambino is a real good name!
    this reminds me there was a mare (I think at the beginning of the XIX cent., in England), a pure bred, called Signorina (=miss) who never won a race, and her owner had no money to find a famous stallion for her, but she fell in love at first sight with a stalion, not a real winner… Signorinetta (little signorina) arrived eleven months later and she became a very super star and won lots of races!!! that's the power of love!

    Sorry, I like this true story so much I wanted to tell you! :)

  • Thank you for sharing your story. It is nice :) :)

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @tanza said in Future Basenji Owner in Italy: I would suggest as a breeder that you go for a male pup in your situation I'd always recommend a new-comer to the breed to have a boy.
  • Ciao From south Italy!!!

    @Kalima62: For BellaBasenji….Bambina is more to say child...whilst, for Baby, we might say Bimba, that makes you understand you are refering to a very small child, just as a baby. And as you know ,the final "A" is for a girl, and "O" is for a boy.:D Ciao a Tutti:) Ahhhhh yes, bambino/bambina is such an appropriate name for a Basenji…. which is eternally "child-like" in nature!!!;)
