I applaud you for getting a rescue. There are tooooo many out there. For a first timer, an older one would be good, at least 18mos old or more where their personality is who they are at this age. Research all you can, and if you fill out an application and are denied, no not stop trying. I was denied by a Basenji rescue, and Uzie is my second where I found him right here 'free to good home' so we drove two days to pick him up and he is thriving without fenced in yards. (not for everyone as not everyone lives on 10 acres or more…I get this....!) but he has blossomed and doing well. So, don't give up!

Who has the oldest basenji?
-
Please post your age of your basenji if you think he/she is a senior. I am curious who has the oldest and wisest basenji out there. Photos would be great!!
I have heard of them being 16-17years….

My Maggii will be 16 august 27th and my OJ will be 16 Sept 9th

by the way, Maggii is in my avatar pic… the red & white taken about March of this year... The Tri, Mickii was 14 in Feb.

Obviously I won't have the oldest, as I am fairly new to the world of B's.
But Pat has just given me great hope that my two "babies" will be around for a long, long time!!! -
Mine is not the oldest at 13-1/2 but I did have a tri color live to be 17-1/2 (1/75 to 6/92).

My Jojo, pictured in my avatar is 11yr young…

Hello all:
My Metinga will be 12yrs old in October 2007. We are pup pals with one or 2 B's on Dogster that are 16yrs old and there is one more I came across on Dogster also that is 17yrs old.
All the B's I ever came across or heard of were either living up to age 12yrs or 14.5yrs max. That's great that I can expect to get more potential years with Metinga:) -
can you guys post pictures of your elder basenjis….
how many dog year vs. human years? 7
That cant be the same ages for basenjis....Maggii would be 112 years old.
Let's try 5-6years for every human year? That would make Maggii 85-102yrs old?
Does that sound right?
