@elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch.
If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

Welcome! What part of Northern VA if I may ask? My boyfriend & I are both from the area & recently I moved back up to MD from Florida.
-
We're in the area too! Let me know if you want to have a meet up!!
If you're going to be around, the Reston Town Center is having a Pet Fiesta (and Dog Walk) this Saturday from 10am-4pm. We'll be the ones with the two basenji's…
hahahah...I would definitely recommend meeting the breed in person, if you haven't done so already. This forum is great- it will show you all the woes, laughs, and loves that come with having a Basenji in your family.

Oh man!!! I know exactly where that is as my boyfriend lived in Ashburn prior to us moving to Florida last year. Too bad I am out of the state until Saturday night
But we'll definitely have to meet up somewhere now!!! -
Welcome. So glad you have found this forum. It is a wealth of information for you as you consider if this great breed will be a good fit in your life.

Thanks – I'll stop by. Reston Town Center isn't too far from me. If I don't see any Basenjis tomorrow, I'm going to try to get to the MD outing on 1 June.

Hopefully Lexi & Miles made a good impression on you, LadyEagle1998!!

Welcome! I strongly agree that you should meet a B in person. They are very catlight in their movements, and Cyrus even grooms himself like a cat. Cyrus is very independent, but also very strong-willed. To further complicate matters, he is clever and good at gettting his own way. If you want a challenging yet loving breed, a B is a good choice. Once a B decides you are a worthwhile human being, they are very devoted but not in a needy way like some other breeds. Enjoy the forum!
