    I didn't have a video camera when I had 3 B's!! They used to raise the dust in the house, run along the back of couch,,,not the top of it, sorta like those motorcyles do in those round things. lol The little girl I have now,,,races circles on the bed, flat out!! She doesn't have a play mate yet,,,,still in the works!

    Shaye has Basenji-500 episodes at least twice a day - usually just before she goes down for a nap and goes to bed at night - like she needs to get rid of all that excess energy before she can plop down and sleep. Pretty funny when she forgets not all doors are open and bounces off them - just to bounce right up and continue her race! Love the video -

    It's expected with this breed. :D

    I occasionally will see Kananga go full speed across the tiled floors and he'll forget that he does not get any traction, sending him sideways or face first into the wall. He still has a smile on his face when he gets back into action.

    Congo once did a flip off the couch when he was doing his 500. As soon as hit hit the ground he kept on going. It didn't even faze him.

    I am so glad I searched what B-500 is. Otis does it too, especially around the chickens freeranging in the back yard. It is hilarious, around and around. Our other dogs just sit down and watch him go…funny. They try to keep up with him but eventually they just peter out. Our Schnorkie, Luna she tries to give him a run for the money and she is good at keeping up, but then her body says otherwise...pooped out. B-500, so that is what it is called...

    Ok one more thing, it totally fascinates me how these dogs are running full speed and NO yealping is coming out of them, really cool. My two other dogs run too, but yealps and barks incessantly (spelling?). It drives us crazy..but Otis is fast and quiet, a beautiful sight and sound.

    Wow, that is so good to know that my Noel is not crazy. She also does the B-500 and it is hilarious. So it is just not for puppy's?? Older B's also do this?

    Definitely not just for puppies…
    All 3 of mine (2 adults, 1 pup) are free to do the b500 indoors until furniture starts getting moved or knocked over...then they are sent outdoors! It is pretty funny having Liyah (5mo pup) be the chasee because she runs under furniture as well as on top so it keeps the adults guessing where she will come out! :D:D:D

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
