Basenji Park Indy???

Basenji Talk
  • Oh what fun. I can't wait to se some pics when you are done of the crazy races your two will have.

  • What a nice yard you have, I love the trees, I'm having trees planted in my yard next month

  • @Vanessa:

    <sniff>if only there were yards like that in the Bay Area.
    I miss having a yard.</sniff>

    There is at my house…. and for that I am very grateful!

  • We live in an apartment so no yard…I'm envious! They are going to love that yard!!!

    Funny thing, dogs seriously change you in ways that a child would. Mark & I's lease runs up in Nov & already we are looking at renting a house with a yard [if not buying] vs. getting back into an apartment solely because of Dallas. Haha.

  • Here is part of our yard.. and yes in the summer they love to "sun" on top of the SPA

  • So, so envious Pat! What a lovely yard!

  • That yard is going to be an excellent "race track" for your dogs! I miss having a yard and can't wait to get out of our rented townhouse so we can get a place that has a fenced backyard for our little guy. I always feel guilty that he can't run around at "full-tilt" because he's on a leash. (In our complex there are LOTS of bunnies and Jackpot would be gone in a flash if he wasn't on a leash!)

    Can't wait to see pics when the fence is done and the dogs are running around!

    I am in the exact same situation as you! I live in a duplex with no fence, and we are looking to buy a house when our lease is up just so we could have a yard with a fence for ours!

  • Hey Nexa, I am in Lebanon.
    on my way over :p

    We usually go to the Eagle Creek park, but yours looks like more fun.

  • Things are beginning to look up for military folks who have dogs but no yards. I drove through a navy housing complex behind the big NEX at Pearl Harbor and they are building what will be a really awesome "Bark Park" right in the middle of the housing compound!!

  • We are in a town house with no yard, so Blaze gets stuck on a long leash. I make it up to him by taking him out to the farm every other weekend, so he runs free on a 1/4 section of land with the farm dog. He sleeps for three days when we get home.

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.

    I feel SOOOOOO left out…. are there any other forum members in Tennessee??? You guys are SOOO lucky. I think I shall resort to posting notices at vet offices in order to build up a playgroup of basenjis. We have only met ONE other here in Knoxville, but I know there are others out there and hope to meet them ALL soon.
