  • Jerry here, seems Mollys 'mom signed on a couple yrs ago so she is in the system too. Same Molly, different member name. 2009 goal, check into this forum more often.
    Molly(real name' Millika Ubei) swahili name) is 3 now, she loves playing with other Basenjis and other breeds, as long as they don't come in her yard space.I often think about adding another basenji to the family, but we have decided agianst that idea. She is not very good at sharing her toys.

  • Welcome (back?)!! Always fun to read updates on the 'lost' members. What's Molly been up to for the last couple of years??

  • We feel Molly has grown into a fine young little lady. Everyone loves her. She acts like a little princess. She has traveled with us in the Motorhome since we got here when she was 8 wks old. She has been to Alaska, Florida , Indiana and all points in between. She discovered she doesn't particularly like the water, ocean, Great lakes , anything causing wave action.

    we look forward to enjoying her as part of our family for many years to come. And we really enjoy hearing other BJ 'parents' stories. The Basanji is certainly a different kind of dog and unless someone has lived with them, they will not really know them.:)

    thanks

  • Welcome Molly's dad! :D

    Have fun on the forum!

  • Welcome back Molly! And welcome Molly's dad!

  • @jerrymac55:

    She acts like a little princess.

    Well, duh!!! Isn't she one!? How else would she act!?

    Welcome back.

  • Hey there, welcome back. Do you remember the first member name she used? I would like to look at previous posts to remember Molly better. She seems like such a sweetie girl!

    Please research the health problems in Basenjis especially Fanconi Syndrome! There is a DNA cheek swab test for it and I believe it only costs $75. If your dog has not been tested and is over two years old, she needs to be strip tested for glucose in the urine monthly until you have the DNA test done and obtain the results. Untreated Fanconi Syndrome will kill a dog! Here is a webpage that explains health problems in Basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=155&Itemid=292 Jennifer

    Sorry, no, I'm in San Diego. But if you ever head South…:D It looks like there's a pretty active club up in your neck of the woods. Maybe they have meetups you could join? Not so much here, that I know of, though a lovely woman I met through Karen has 3 b's in a community near here. We have 2 basenji mixes in our neighborhood that we've discovered (your dog will find those for you if you take her to a dog park or a popular walking area). Congrats again - can't remember if your post said this was your first B, but aren't they just amazing?

    Sorry if we sound so disagreeable … but it is so important that the health of our breed is #1 on everyones list and that everyone understands and does as much health testing as possible before breeding... especially since we have genetic problems that we can't test for, the family tree becomes our only way of knowing what we might expect... and it is only fair to people thinking about getting a Basenjis as a family companion that they know what they might expect..... Everyone should visit the BCOA Health site (www.basenjihealth.org) and learn what is being done to find genetic testing and what everyone can do to help

    Thank you for your reply Seko. Bandit is 11 weeks this Wednesday 6th Sept. When he turns around bearing his teeth and growling after being told off for being naughty, I point my finger at him saying a LOUD NO!! He doesn't like it, puts his ears back and looks at me. I have bought a clicker and will attempt to train him and my Lowchen "Alfie" together with liver treats. Wish me luck!! Angee
