@debradownsouth Thank you for the kind words but I have to admit... I take young adults for my own convenience. I simply don't have time, stamina or energy to deal with the pups as adorable as they are. Having a puppy is like having a baby or too! Did I mention I was not into children and babies or can you guess?lol. I love the retirees. they are already used to crates (although Ollie is now somewhat recalcitrant about getting into hers because she would rather hang out with her now "Mom", lol!! They travel well. They are usually somewhat used to people. Ollie is not used to playing by herself and is just getting used to "big" breeds. She doesn't get the commands "sit, down or stay" yet but we are working on it. She is the champ of the "heel" command however!!
New member introduction

I wanted to drop you a short line and introduce myself to the Basenji Forum world.
I have owned Basenjis since 2001 and now have 4 of the little darlings living with me. It started with Benji, then we got a friend for him, Nakura and in 2006 Nakura had her first litter of pups. We kept 2 boys, Chance and Trouper. We also have an 11yr old GSD bitch called Megan, a 14yr old BC dog called Dougie and a 10 yr old cat called Tomsk.
We live in the North West of Scotland and travel all over the country showing the Basenjis. To date Nakura has 2 CCs, Chance has 2 CCs and 2 RCCs and Trouper has 1 CC. We are also hoping to go to Ireland this year to do some showing.
I recognise a couple of members already on this forum and see a couple of them regularly at shows. I am looking forward to swapping stories and experiences with other members. I am currently trawling through my photo albums so I can post a few piccies of my babies. Keep a look out for them appearing soon!!!
