  • I would love to have a pack o pups but I only have room for Baloo.I sure hope the people that broke the pups leg gets punnished.I dont understand that type of behavior!

  • I hear you - probably not a great idea to try to transport either of these guys that far anyway, in case a placement doesn't work. I'm just grasping at homes for them.

    Can't wait to hear that Baloo made it home, and see pix!

  • Just a quick note to let everyone know that Balloo is starting the proccess to come to his forever home! We are all excited and cant wait.I will be putting out the monster basted cow leg bones, kong and knylabones. He will have his own spot for feedings and WILL have a run of the house and WILL sleep on my bed by my wife and I.Thanx to all the folks here and at BRAT for this success story.Tim and Rebecca Prodan.P.S. will post pics here to show off!!!!!!

  • Another Baloo update,Baloo is being flown in from D.C this friday .We are stoked! So we will be posting pics shortly.This is a Shinning example of people comming together to make a "B" happy and wanted.B.R.A.T has to be commended for thier efforts .Volenteers to board members have put in lots of hours to make sure Baloo was headed to his "FOREVER HOME". Barb McShea gets a special thanks for her diligence and persurverance over Baloo's placement.Thanx also goes to Sharron Hurlbut for getting me invoved with BRAT.I am going to be the Basenji guy here in northern Michigan.When a familiy needs a home visit for a Basenji adoption thru BRAT My wife and I will do the visit on behalf of BRAT. We are exited and are headed out to get all the comforts Baloo needs to make a smooth transistion. Thank you Everyone.TIM and Rebecca Prodan

  • Yay! Can't wait for pics. I'm glad you had a good experience with BRAT.

  • Great! Can't wait to see pix of Baloo, and thank you for getting involved to help other B's as well. Sharron is an inspiration, isn't she?

  • Blush, laugh, thanks guys.
    I love doing rescue and it wouldn't work without folks like yourselves.
    Hugs and hugs.
    Photos..we want photos!!!

  • It took awhile and they are very thurough in their placements. But they have to be to make sure that Baloo got his Forever home.I feel that it is a good process,they take the time to let you in on all the particulars of the specific "B" that you may want.They also want to make sure you know what you are doing to.I feel less scurtiny would not be a good ideal.They truly want their placements to be solid .I respect that.

  • Hey, Thanx Gal!!! sorry I misspelled your name Sharron

  • No problem Mitt!
    With the last name like Hurlbut, you have a strong sense of humor.
    My husband when through the Marine corp, as "throw ass"!
    Yes, you say it hurlbut!
    lol
    Sorry, this is WAY off topic.

  • I was a paratrooper in the 82nd. Abn.Div.. Being a paratrooper I always got "RODAN" the mythical creature that fought Godzilla.

  • Congratulations mitt!! (and thank you for becoming a volunteer). Are you in the UP, MI?

  • No I am a troll!!!!

  • I just asked because my daughter is at college just over the border from the UP in WI and she often calls to say she needs a 'senji "fix". She volunteers at the local shelter but that doesn't seem to quench her thirst for the 'naughtiest of naughty' breeds. Thought I could hook you up with an experienced B. sitter.

  • Troll is an inside joke for Michiganders, right?

    The forum has been a little weird and gnarly the last few days and I thought: "Troll? This guy has been putting us on? So where is Baloo?" Then I realized it's an MI term. Whew!

  • I am old, and just learning about trolls and such on the internet.
    I didn't understand most of the new "words" re computers.
    Glad Mitt is a nice troll…

  • GHEESH! I did not mean to imply I was "TROLLING" this web sight.Troll is a term yuppers[people that live in the upper peninsula] call people that live in the lower part thus my online name{MITT} because the lower peninsula is shaped like a mitten.Then there is the "FUDGEIS" vacationers that visit northern Michigan.And there are countless fudge making shops in Mackinaw City.Yes all local venacular.

  • Thanx Snork I have a sister that lives by Houghton Hancock Mi.

  • I'm so excited for you guys and for Baloo! Can't wait to see pics of him loving his new place.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @msjames, @tanza did you a solid favor outlining expectations. Networking really is key to finding a "reputable" breeder. Most show their dogs and are connected to other breeders through showing. They all seem to know who is planning a litter and who isn't. I completely agree with Pat that you should meet your breeder in person prior to the puppies even being born. You can learn a lot. Is a Basenji right for you? If you want a dog to hang with you in the driveway with the garage door open as you chat with neighbors, or stand calmly with the front door open as you receive a UPS package... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Basenjis will bolt. they'll be gone in a second. They see it. They chase it. And if you think you have them trained... no. They've trained you. When they see it they will chase it. Basenjis, in my experience, need exercise. Mine get two walks a day. When they don't, they can be destructive. They're not shy about expressing frustration or displeasure through chewing up your best stuff. A big secure yard can mitigate this, but that's not a guarantee. They love seeing outside, so keep your blinds and drapes open otherwise they may open them themselves even if that requires chewing through them. They will climb onto windowsills, tables and low counter tops. They are capable of scaling a six-foot fence. They are known to climb trees. These are extreme examples, but better to know now. They are super affectionate. They can be trained... to a point. They are clowns and provide endless entertainment. A Basenji baroo is the best sound ever! They love to snuggle and will sleep on your bed and under the spreads and sheets if you let them. They love to share body heat. Tail twitches when I return home are the best!

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
