  • Very excited to find this site! Can't wait to read everything!

  • Welcome…please tell us about yourself [and your B(s)?] when you have a chance…

  • welcome to the forum – do you have basenjis or thinking about getting one or three?

  • We have a Basenji brindle boy who found us about 6 years ago. His name is King Tut and he does rule our house! We also have a terrier mix, Pepper. She is 11 years old. And thanks to my son, we have a 1 1/2 yr old Weimaraner, Maddie. I never planned on having such an odd group of dogs but we love them dearly. I didn't know a thing about Basenji's until Tut showed up at our house. We went through a couple weeks of "there is no way we can keep this wild animal" to falling in love with him and worrying that someone would show up and claim him. No one did and 6 years later we are still adjusting to all his Basenji mannerisms. I browse the internet often trying to find out if he is crazy but then I just get confirmation that he is just a Basenji.

  • Welcome. Can't wait to see pics of King Tut, cute name, sounds like you have a great little family

    @Mr: First, let me say 'welcome' to you Pedro. Then I have to tell you that not all pure blood B's have black noses, our little gitl, Bitty, has a dudley nose, dark brown and pink. Our second dog, an adoptee from BRAT (Basenji Rescue And Transportstion) was listed as a Basenji mix but I was totally convinced that he was all B, he had all the physical traits, tight curled tail, pointed nose and stand up ears. His chest is white as is your Neymar's with the white collar. All B's have 4 white feet and the tip of their tails are normally white. As you mentioned he has the normal wrinkles. Taking all of these points as a group your Neymar has all except fro the tail, which in my estimation would make Neymar at about 90% B. So, again, let me say welcome to another new Basenji lover. Thanks, I'm glad that you agree ! I'm getting a pure B now to be Neymar's companion, a black and white female ! I made a thread about her on "Show of your dog" section ! As she grows up i'll manage to even more tell the differences or similarities :)

    Welcome to the Forum. It sounds as though this 'protectiveness' has been going on a long time. I agree that probably it would be best to get help from a behaviorist but make sure that they have experience of Basenjis. In the meantime keep him away from your guests. It's possible that he's stirred up by the excitement so it's best to try to keep him calm when people are around.

    Big Hello from AZ to The Jones' Been busy doing coursing practices with the club. Jocelyn has been learning too, she even operates the lure machine and sets up and takes down the course. She took Buddy to OK and got a 4 point major. We're off to Texas on Monday for two weeks of shows and probably see you two at Palomar or Camp Pendleton. Best regards, The Brody's Harry Potter fan huh. No wonder you get along with Jocelyn so well.
