Member Introductions
  • Hi were Ed and Tammy from California. we just got our first basenji a few months ago, and are having a great time with him. He's a real handful but it's worth it, he's such a great dog. we look foward to being active members of the basenji forums. i've seen most of the pictures posted here, and i must say those are some cute dogs. we'll try to put some pictures of our dog puma up possibly this week. thank you! -eD and Tammy

  • Hi and welcome! I'm kind of new too and it's a lot of fun to see and "hear" about other Basenjis, etc. They are all so cute, aren't they? Congrats on the new pup and "enjoy the ride"…they are handfuls, but definitely worth it!

    I welcome you also. Puppies are so adorable. Just remember a quiet Basenji is not necessarily a good thing. After all these years I still forget that one.

    Wonderful way to share your experiences and thoughts on a first year with basenji in your life.. I second the thoughs written by Andrew….health, temperament and having a breeder available 24/7 is key....
  • Love my Basenji's

    @maxamali: Long story short I am electing to go without surgery and treat with anti-inflammatory medicine as well as a joint supplement. For a joint supplement, I can highly recommend (from personal experience with our previous Basenji, Maxx), Missing Link Plus. It's expensive at places like Petco and PetsMart, but you can find it much cheaper by doing an Internet search.

    Giza swam in the Atlantic once when we were out walkin' at low tide and the tile came in. The Atlantic in Canada is pretty cold!

    Hey thanks! A Basenji owner's manual is exactly what I've been looking for. The more I learn about these amazing creatures, the more I realize that everything I've ever known about dogs and puppy training is pretty much useless! These guys have rules of their own! I will send for my copy right away. I really appreciate all of the help I've received from everyone here so far. It's already proven extremely helpful. No help like that from those with "on the job" experience! I look forward to sharing my experiences with Missi and Cooper as well. Thanks again! ~Beth
