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 all,
I found this site by mistake-was checking something out about a breeder in OK where one of my gals came from, ended up in rescue, and now is with me!
I've got a petsitting business and two lovely tri B. girls, Tootsie and Peanut, who keep me on my toes…..
