Member Introductions
  • To Kiroja tell all of his cousin's he says hello!:) It would be great to get together some time. I am going to start some obedience classes with Simba next month. I would love to do lure coursing with him but i have no idea where to begin. If you have any info that could help i would greatly apprecitate it. And all your B's are beautiful!

  • Welcome to the forum!

  • Welcome from across our big pond.

  • Simba, we are having a lure coursing trial April 11 & 12 in Manchester. If you would like the info packet, you can go to my website and email me, I will forward you the flyer. They have practice on Saturday afternoon after the trial, if you would like to give it a try with Simba. This will probably be the closest lure event for you, unless a couple in Indiana might be slightly closer? Don't worry though, they will have another trial again in September if you can't come check this one out. The best thing to do is come and watch and ask around. It's not really one of those things you can study up or practice much at home. lol

    I am planning on going, but still have to figure things out at work. Events are always up in the air for me. lol Most likely I will go and try to leave asap and get back to work in the afternoon. Especially Saturday, at least Basenjis go first so I should be able to deal with work. I hope to stick around for a few minutes of practice depending on how things are moving along. I have some other kids of mine I am hoping will make it, so you won't be the only clueless one. :) Even if I won't be there for some reason, there are lots of nice people that will help show you the ropes so you and Simba can learn and give it a try. It's breathtaking watching the dogs fly across the field, and they sure do have the time of their life!

  • Hello & welcome from Canada. Nice to have you here

    Thank you for the welcome. @Patty: Welcome to the forum. Is Chumley chihuahua sized? He's sort of in-between sized. He's gained a few pounds since I got him, he needed some weight on. He's now 12 pounds, 11 1/2 inches tall at the shoulder. I put pics up in the Show Off Your Dog forum http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?12666-My-Chumley-Basenji-chi-mix

    @ChristyRutherford: When I went to Thailand, the dogs there looked very basenji like. It was hard to see them in the shape they were. Definitly not spoiled as dogs are here. Very thin and most had mange. They are wild there, and you dont pet them, they just kinda run around like squirrles or raccoons. It was very hard for me to see them. I took some pictures, of the healthier ones. I will try and find them. They tended to stay at the temples "temple dogs" because the Monks would care, somewhat, for them. The ones running in towns and villages were much worse looking, some. I would have taken them all home. Goes to show what how different people (not just "us/them) but all of us are different form each other. The guide and I had a wonderful time comparing and contrasting our cultures. I let her know how I treat my dog, and although she said it was nice and she liked dogs, I knew she thought I was crazy. I know what you mean. I was in there a couple of summers ago. Some of the dogs at the temple had mange so bad that they were missing a good portion of their fur not mention the number of dogs wondering around with limps and crooked limbs from being hit by bikes and cars. Funny story…before I went with UT the students from the University there came and two of them stayed with my parents. I brought them over to my apartment to hang out one evening and they went wild for Manning. I mean they took picture after picture and didn't want to put him down. Poor Rascal, my mutt, was sitting there like "hey what about me?" Finally, they explained how the King in Thailand has basenjis and has made them very popular. They were even wearing polo shirts with little stitched pictures of the King's dog on them. Here is a link about the King's dog Tongdaeng, a basenji mix. There is a great book called The Story of Tongdaeng. Inside the book are pictures of the king surrounded by Tongdaeng and his other basenjis. Here is a link that tells some of the story. http://www.bangkokpost.com/60yrsthrone/litterary/index.html I have to say…the Thai monarchy has gained my respect!:D

    I'm sorry for the loss of your dear Basenjis. Losing a pet is so difficult. I hope this site helps you through the transition. Welcome.
