  • 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.

    Baloo is with a member of BRAT getting ready to fly into the local airport to us.He will be comming in this Friday!

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

  • Oh, this will be a nice rehoming.
    Photos please.

  • CONGRATS mitt,
    I saw Baloo when he firs came up on the BRAT site and would have tried to snaphim right up if my Parson Russell wouldn't have objected. But alas I am not allowed another male dog in my house yet. (Though we are working on that with alot of male dogs visiting the house for a day).

    I am soo happy for you and Baloo, and like everyone here can't wait to see pictures of him once he gets to his new forever home with you. :)

  • Sharron i will post pics on the weekend. We will be picking him up from the airport friday. If he is up for it we will be stopping at the local petsmart to show him off and get some toys.

  • His foster says hes put on moere weight and is at 30#lbs. She thinks he will look better at 35#lbs. that is huge for a "B" I have some recent pics of him at 30# and he is very lean

  • As you know, I caught the "troll" post. I also see where others missed it!!!

    GEEZ…. 'fudgies' run rampant in the Dells as well. IS THERE A CURE????

    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!
