Great places to Vacation with basenjis

  • MacPackM

    We found a wonderful place in North Carolina last spring (2006), about 10 miles south of Asheville. "Barkwells" is six fenced acres with a pond, and each cabin (had 3 when we were there, now have a total of 5) has a small fenced yard, as well as dog doors and hot tubs for the humans. If all the dogs get along, they can all be out in the big area while you are home, but if you leave the dogs home alone, they have their private yard accessable by their dog door. Really a wonderful place, we stayed on the property for a couple of days and just rested and walked around, but the Blue Ridge Parkway is only 10 miles away, and the scenery is gorgeous. Not cheap, but a real treat for us after not taking a vacation for over 10 years, as we didn't want to leave our babies behind, and not many places were "dog friendly".

    We also found a nice cabin with a fenced yard in north Georgia last fall, about half the price of Barkwells, at "Above the Rest" Cabin Rental.

    Now I want to travel more with my 3, am looking for great places to stay, preferably affordable!

    Anyone else found any great places to stay?

    Thanks for the info!! We went to the beach in Pt. Pleasant NJ this summer for 2 weeks. Although we were at a rented beach house there were lots of places nearby that allowed dogs AND they had a man made doggy beach Fishermans Cove Matawan, NJ about 10 min away which was fun for the furries…and they also had a real beach for dogs that you can purchase a pass to in Mantolooking Beach, NJ.

    Wow, Pt Pleasant, NJ… you are bringing back memories.... used to vacation there in the summers with my family growing up and years and years... stayed like two months.... one of our favorite places to eat was the "Lobster Shanty" in Pt. Pleasant... is it still there? I was born and raised in Pa (Bucks Country)....

    Basenji for me or not ?

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).
