Hello all Basenji lovers ! Ordered the book last week at Amazon.com and received it yesterday. Read it also in a few hours and it is great.
PS. I ordered a puppy with one of the few breeders in Belgium and hope to welcome it in our family (with 4 Agapornis Love Birds flying freely around ;-))by the end of this year.
Great forum!
Greetings from Belgium, Europe

That is a great book! Welcome to the forum, you will learn a lot about basenjis here. Will this be your first basenji?

I love this book! I bought it a few months ago at Borders. The tri on the inside back cover is gorgeous!

I just received the "Basenji, a comprehensive guide to owning and caring for your dog" by Juliette Cunliffe. Looks great and filled with many tips & tricks for newbies like me. To MacPack : Yes, indeed it is my first dog ever. As I am retiring on the 1st of september, I'll have plenty of time spending with my (our) new friend. Actually I was in love with the "Cão da Serra de Estrella" , the beautifull Portuguese mountain dog, but we don't have enough space as it becomes to big and heavy. As we first saw pictures of the Basendji we immediately fell in love with it ! And after reading several books about them we can hardly wait to the end of this year to collect our puppy !

This was the book that I bought before I got Shango!
It's an excellent read!

To TSJoe glad to hear you are getting a basenji. We have six birds and two basenji's. Most of the birds were here before the puppies came My birds are all rescue or were in need of a re home. The dogs are now 3 & 4 and have learned proper birdy behavior but remember basenji's are both sight and scent hounds. If they fly nature kicks in and they will try and catch them.
So doggies and birdies have seperate time outs and all are happy The dogs will visit them in their cages our cockatoo will give our girl kisses and pet her with his foot. but if my birds were flying my basenji's would try and catch them even after all this time Congratulations on your up and coming puppy
They are soooo much fun. -
I bought the Kenworthy book too and thought it was great.
Funny story about it … I was reading it in bed one night when EL D pops out from under the covers. He sees the picture on the cover and tenses up and starts sniffing and staring and cautiously coming closer -- I jerked the book towards him and he jumped back so fast -- what a hoot!
P.S. What neat looking birds TSJoe.

I have many basenji books including the Elspet Ford book, Mary Lou Kenworthy's book, and Sue Coe's book. They are all good books and each a little different. When I was first researching the breed Sue Coe's, The Basenji: Out of Africa to You was the one recommended to me and was very comprehensive. Mary Lou's book is also very good and geared to the pet owner. Elspet Ford's was a different perspective on the breed since it filled in a lot more of the British history than Sue Coe's book.

I'm going to have to get Susan Coe's book, especially because Ruby is of Akuaba lineage. Thanks for posting about that, because I didn't know she had written a book.

I love this book! I bought a copy when I was in the market for a basenji. I actually got to meet her at a lure coursing meeting (lure coursing is a great activity for basenjis). MaryLou gave me the contacts for the basenji i have now. If you dont have this book you should. Suprisingly I found it at Barnes&Nobles.
-
Because it is a Barron's book, it is one of the easier to get basenji books. I really enjoyed it but I am probably a little biased since it is filled with my dogs' Kenset relatives.
-
Just arrived in the mail today…from e-bay...an autographed blue book (second edition) of Victoria Tudor-Williams' Basenjis, The Barkless Dogs! Not as relevant as Sue Coe's book, but I have wanted one for years!

I also bought this book before getting Dallas & am so grateful I did! It has a lot of useful information about such a unique breed
-
-
A Kennel Club Book: Basenji is also a great book. It has about 155 pages and written by Juliette Cunliffe.
-
So I found two books out by here the first blue one then the one that says Basenjis: Everything About History, Purchase, Care, Training, And Health. Which one is better for soon to be puppy owner?
-
I just purchased Mary Lou Kenworthy's and Juliette Cunliffe's books. Lookin' forward to getting them.
-
The Basenji, by Susan Coe is a great reference to have also
-
I ordered The "Basenji" ( blue book) From America ( i live in Italy)…and loved it!!! It gave me good advice...but will be looking for other ones to read. This one cost me Euro15.00!!! $21.12...thats a lot isnt it??
-
Dio you mean Veronica Tudor Williams' 'Blue' book? If so 15 Euros is a bargain.
