New basenji owner in WA


  • Welcome and thanks for saving her. We are just around the Sound from you so we hope to see you on the trails someday. More pictures please.


  • Yes, please, more photos!


  • We are on the other side of the water from you. Good luck with the newest member of your family!


  • Hello from Oregon! My bf and I just got our first basenji this year as well, a puppy in February. If you end up lure coursing maybe we will get the chance to meet sometime, or if you ever end up in the Portland area. Good luck with your girl, she's gorgeous!


  • pacificNWbasenji, are you going to the dog show this weekend?
    I will be there sat for sure!
    Maybe we can meet ringside.


  • We actually got a chance to get out of town this weekend, visiting family in Boise. I am happy to announce 15 week old Dude has been crated in the back of my 4runner for a 400 mile trip from Portland to Boise with potty breaks every hour and a half and hasnt made a sound! He is normally crated for 5 hours a day weekdays while I work and is quiet without accidents but I am amazed that he has done so well for 7 hours on the road. Cant wait to settle down and cuddle the puppy now :)


  • Hello & welcome from Canada. Nice girl you have & thanks for saving her.

  • @Janneke:

    Welcome! She's lovely! I also see some podenco in her..

    Thank you! I think she does. At first, i thought she might be mixed with red nose pitbull, because of her eyes and snout. But after looking at some podenco pictures, i think that is what she is mixed with.

    This is almost exactly what she looks like, except she is a lot shorter.


  • @wizard:

    Nice looking dog - does she have much in the way of face wrinkles? Can't tell exactly from the photo - I think the wrinkles add so much to their expressions.

    she doesn't have very many wrinkles on her face, probably lost that feature with her mix. but she definitely makes some cute expressions :D


  • @BDawg:

    Welcome! What a cutie!! :) More pics! More pics!

    @sharronhurlbut:

    I am going to try and get some more pics of her today, its going to be nice and sunny outside. Stay tuned :)

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Looks like you will have your hands full! The video made me chuckle, especially how quickly it happened and how the pup looked excited to make it to the sofa!

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    I didn't know much about B's when I met Champ but to say that what characteristics B's share is "special needs" is plain idiotic. I consider it a blessing to have familiarized (and still learing) with this wonderful breed. It has made me realize that all dogs are not the same and it's important to learn as much about what makes them individuals as possible. I'm glad Raleigh found you and is now able to express himself freely without being labeled "special needs."
