I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.

Hi and welcome to the forum
I am also in the UK, are you planning on showing your basenji or will it be just a pet?
I have 4 basenjis and am currently looking after my daughters 2 also. Perhaps we will see you at a show, even if its only to come and meet us all?
-
with my first Basenji it will be purely pet, but im hopefully going to look at showing in the future. i will hopefully be attending some shows this year to meet owners and there dogs, if there is one near enough for me to get to, unfortunatly at the moment i dont drive
