  • Hi, this is my first post of Basenji Forums. I live in Scotland and am due to collect my first Basenji puppy on 1st February. I have waited over a year for this puppy so i am really looking forward to finally having one. I already own two lovely Rhodesian Ridgebacks and have admired Basenjis for some time since they are all 'hounds'. I will be taking a lot of interest in your forum for help and advice with my new puppy.

  • Welcome and we look forward to seeing pictures of your new "baby" and hearing all about it as it settles into your home and heart.

  • Welcome! I too have run Ridgebacks and Basenji's together. Good thing is they understand each others play because they have very similar play styles. Most RR's know how rough they can play with smaller dogs but you will still want to closely monitor for several months as your B grows so you can make sure there aren't any accidents from too rough of play.

    Best of luck to your new addition!

    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?

    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
