    Hi, my name is Carrie and I have a 1.5 year old female Basenji mix named Sky who I've had is she was 8 weeks. She's a Basenji in every way, she just has scruffy hair. I love my baby even if she's the most stubborn creature I've ever met. I've already had to spend $1000s fortifying my fence to keep her from exploring the neighborhood and chasing down every rabbit and bird in sight. There's no one around here that I know who owns a Basenji, or has even heard of them. I'm looking forward to getting to know people here and sharing experiences and tips.

    Welcome to the pack Carrie and Sky. Glad you found us. There is such a wealth of information available for you here. When you get a chance we would love to see some pictures of Sky. :)

    To you

    Welcome to the pack – there are lots of great ideas and tips here (I've learned alot and I've had basenjis for 7 years). There is an old thread about keeping your basenji safe - you might want to search that one - and other threads about health. Anyway, when you get a chance please post some pictures - we're all addicted to basenji pictures!

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!
