Hello from Australia


  • Hello,

    I don't actually own a Basenji but am looking to get one at the end of the year but have joined this forum to do as much learning and hearing about personal experiences as I can.
    I currently own a small cross breed dog Charlie who is just over a year old and Freja a German Shepherd dog who is 8 months old.

    Looking forward to chatting with you all,

    Erin


  • Welcome… you will find lots of information here... Have you talked to any breeders yet?


  • Not yet. I'm moving house and town in the next few months and once all that is sorted I will make contact.

    I already have chosen the one I would love to get a pup of though :)

    That is great, who are you think about getting a pup from?… you would be surprised how "close" knit the Basenji community of breeders is... regardless of were in the world they live... we all know or know of each other...


  • I would love a pup from "Tamsala" Basenji's

    Yes, that would be Jan Roberts… I have a litter that was by one of her dogs, Dual Champion Tamsala Rocket Socks that she sold to the Jones Girls in So. California and so does lvoss... Jan has some nice Basenjis....

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    Welcome, basenjis are not cats & you teach a basenji not train. Sounds like you are starting to understand. Welcome

    Saba, The temperature up here was quite hot to state the obvious. LOL I have to agree with you that it is only at shows that we see a large group of basenjis. Seeing the basenjis is the only reason I go to the Royal Easter Show. Millissa loved seeing him after two years. Pepper has taken over and is showing Mister Two Dicks who is boss. It is funny to watch.

    @WriggleysMom: We've always had rescues and I feel like I've missed out on puppy antics, so I'm debating. Toby doesn't baroo or wag his tail and I really miss being met at the door with a welcome baroo and a tail trying to wag itself off!! I had a puppy and was getting the urge for another but now we have a 7-mo old foster and I can't take my eyes off her. I remembered I really did not miss that!
