I love these dogs. My current baby turned 11 years old in December. Her name is Mattie and she is the love of my life. She is tri-color. I got my first Basenji in 1977 (red & white) "Nicki". Mattie is my fourth.
Welcome to the forum Ty and Luna.
There is nothing i can add that hasn't already been said but you have certaily come to the right place for help, information and friendship.
It would be lovely to see a pic of Luna and your two cats.
Hope you get Luna sorted out quickly.
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!
I agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.
