@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion
Looking for Bs in Kentucky
-
Hey all–-
I'm looking for B owners in Kentucky. Wondering how many of us there are?
I think I'm the only one in my area. My vet said they only had one other Basenji in their practice and it was some time ago! So.....are there any other Kentuckians out there? I think it would be nice to have someone close by to talk to about my new little Dakota and all the trials and tribulations that have come with him! -
I don't know how many live in the state, but there will be a deluge of basenjis there in a few months. The national basenji speciality is coming to Lexington in the first week of September.

Our coursing friend lives up there:
Clair and my Zip are also related. Terry is really really friendly. She takes Clair coursing a lot so the chances of running into her at a trial are pretty good.
There will be a WHOLE BUNCH of basenji people up there in September!!
