Hello from New Mexico

Member Introductions
  • Hie all I'm from New Mexico. I currently have two basenji neutered males named George and Ice Man. I lost my female (their mother) this past weekend at the ripe old age of nearly 17. She was born Dec 19th, 1991 and passed away last Friday Oct 12th, 2007. George and Ice Man are both almost 15 having been born Dec 13th, 1993 and both are still healthy and going strong at the moment. however I know here in the next few years I'm going to be without them and I'm starting to look for a young one to bring in.

  • Welcome to the forum. You'll love it, it is a lot of fun. Have you looked into BRAT or Petfinder for your next baby? We are trying to adopt through Brat right now….great people !!!

  • Sorry to hear about the female. Good luck in acquiring another pup!

  • Welcome to the forum and very sorry to hear about your female.

  • I know all abot BRAT, but I'm not ready just quite yet to get one mroe I'm just kind of "looking" at the moment if you know what I mean.

    George and Ice Man may not be able to handle a bouncy younger one at the moment. With both of them being 15, they are old and slow and set in their ways.

    Wouldn't that be nearly "16"?….. I only say that cause I have two that just turned 16 and they were born 8-27-91 and 9-9-91

    I lost my first basenji female last year after 16 years very hard. I now have 2 a female and a male. Its been fun they are both from the same litter and my son got a male at the sametime.

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Since Buster is a rescue, I would highly suggest that you have DNA Fanconi testing done. It is a cheek swab that you do yourself. You can order the test at www.offa.org for 65.00. Money well spent for peace of mind and know your Basenji's status. Scroll down till you get to Fanconi DNA https://secure.offa.org/cart.html

    @Nicola: Hi Jenny! :D Oh what a shame. :( I was undecided on posting about SKC on the other site, I wish I had done now! Not to worry, we'll meet someday, I'm sure! And of course, I'd love to meet your gang too. I remember hearing someone saying "….Basenji cross" as I was walking by! Who'd have thought it was you! ;) Yes that was probably me lol. Roxy looked very sweet and I'm sure we will meet eventually:D
