Totally new!

I had only had him for a week and he was already annoyed that he was out front and I was out back doing yard work. I was very surprised that he was that put out after just a week. I'm his third home though, so maybe he already saw what I already knew, "Forever Home"!! He was just trying to make sure.:D

Greetings and welcome to the forum! Arleigh is really cute and he has a great spot on the window sill!

Bart, what a beautiful B you have. I love the window picture and of course the baroo pic too. Welcome onboard, hope you enjoy the forum as much as I have, I am a newbie too. I have a 6 mo( on july 5th) old Brindle boy named Otis and a new foster named Bana, she is almost 3. So far I love the world of B's…but I have yet to meet the very destructive gene in my dog..I am sure he is in there hiding somewhere though...LOL

I am so happy to have found this forum. Most of the people I talk to don't even know what a Basenji is, let alone their cute quirks and behaviors. I usually end up spending over an hour at the vet for just a check up because the vet and her receptionist are the only people I know that have Basenjis. In fact, it is the receptionist that hooked me up with the guy who had Arleigh as a rescue. They are members of B.E.A.R.-Basenji Education and Rescue. It's so great to find info specific to the breed and hear that I'm not the only one that loves them despite their peculiarities. Do you think Golden Retriever owners have as much to talk about??:D

Hi Bart! :) From which area in Ohio are you from? What vet do you go to??

I live in the Dayton area, my vet is Dr. Tracy Leonard. I was turned on to her by a fellow B owner, whose name I can't recall, shortly after I got my first one. I was walking the dog down a fairly well travelled road and this woman pulled her car over and was so excited to see a Basenji. She, apparently, had 2. We talked for some time and she told me about this vet who raised Basenjis and since I was not all that crazy about the vet we had been to originally (on advise from a co-worker) I took him to Dr. Tracy. Been going to her ever since. Nice lady and great staff. :D:D

Welcome to you and Arleigh. What an interesting name, too!

Welcome Bart!
That window shot is a classic:) I think you'll find a bunch of people who share the Basenji curse/passion here:D

:) Good for you - we live about 4 hrs away & I still consider taking our Bs to her. I don't know Dr. Leonard, but I've heard & read nothing but good things about her. It's hard indeed to find a vet with extensive basenji knowledge. I don't know any basenji owners in my immediate area
either, but I'm occasionally approached by people who know what breed of dog I have - always perks me up! -
