The Basenji Owners Manual

Basenji Talk
  • It was so helpful to me when I first got into basenjis.
    They are so like no other breed.
    Its helpful to know your not crazy, yes, your basenji is doing THAT and its normal…for a basenji!

  • Finally, my BOM came in the mail. I already read it front to back. It has a medical insert regarding Fanconi to reference for myself and for vet's who may be unfamiliar with diagnosis and treatment. That is a great idea. It is interesting read. Some of it relates to young puppies and training of which I am past that point now but very beneficial. If only Duke came with this manual . . . At only $8 it would be very wise for every new Basenji owner to be given this manual before or when they pick up their puppy or rescue - for the everyone's well being.

  • Thanks for the endorcement.
    This book is great for the price.
    It is really for puppy buyers, but I tell anyone who has NOT owned a basenji that this is a very good workbook.
    Hopefully, anyone who is new to the breed, or thinking of having puppies will get one and put it in a bag with the items they send home with a new puppy.
    Hope everyone has a very good fri the 13~

  • Is there a way to get this FEDEX :)

  • Sorry to be so late in replying.
    I work at the Post office and we all know what that is like now, with the holiday season taking off.
    As far as I know, they do the mailing through the PO, but if you really need it sooner, ask if they can send it fed ex.

  • Am I able to get this book shipped to Canada?

  • I don't know,but I would tell you to go to the site and ask.
    If they can't, then I will send one up to you.

  • Does anyone know where i can get this book in the UK please?

  • I think it's made by a local B club (Washington, right??) in the US… so I imagine you have to order directly from them.

    I'll bet you can get a US forum member to ship ya one ;)

  • @thunderbird8588:

    Does anyone know where i can get this book in the UK please?

    Yes, I be interested in a copy too. :)

  • I have emailed the Evergreen club and they will ship the manual to the UK at a cost of $8.00, you pay by paypal. Kay who sent me the email has said to let her know when paypal has been used as they dont always inform her.
    I am going to send for one in the next few days.

  • Have sent for my book, can hardly wait, all we need now is the Basenji :)

    @EMurata said in Advice for potential basenji owner: The "weather permitting" part of your statement wont work with a Basenji. My dog doesnt care if its 100 degrees out or 10, she needs constant exercise. If outside exercise isn't available for whatever reason, mental exercise is a good substitute. Basenjis are very clever and if you keep their minds busy it often serves to minimize or avoid destructive behaviour. You are not going to wear a fit Basenji out by walking him or her a couple of hours a day, but I have seen them perfectly content to kick back and relax after half an hour of demanding mental exercise! Clicker training can be useful here.....

    Our boys don't touch human food at home, when I put my dinner at the couch next to Buana or chaufuko they won't look up… :D Also when we aren't in the room they won't steal food from the table (thank god because they should be really fat already thanks to the cats and Ryan) When it's on the floor, they will steal it :D
