Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D
Basenji's in the news

Just thought I'd share some news articles. Both nsmbc.com and bbc.com have great articles about dog domestication starting in africa. There's a picture of a r/w basenji on the msnbc web article, It was a interesting piece
about our dogs african roots. They are on today's web page 8-4-09 and yesterdays 8-3-09 on the bbc site. -
Here's the link.

And the other one

Interesting articles, both. No wonder our sub-Saharan dogs like the heat.

Very cool. Thanks for the links.

The B in the BBC picture looks like it's well taken care of, at least from that view.

She looks quite big and maybe in pup from the look of her tum
