It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

Where did you actually find it - on my own website I have a Basenji Bibliography, not started by me but I try to keep it going. Sandy Bridges actually began it.
So please email me with ANY publication you come across with stories, pictures and mentions of our Breed.
You can find out if it is there already by going to www.zandebasenjis.com/books.htm

I just found a Trex coloring page during an image search at work then altered it in Photoshop.

I'll have to print that off myself and do a R/W color – it looks like s/he is slapping at the Pteronodon

OK, so not really something for the bibliography ? (Unless of course, you decide to publish !)
Long Live PhotoShop !

LOL! Love it!
How ironic! I do wonder sometimes where they actually descended from. After all, they are a primitive breed!

Monkeys. And most of them still are naughty monkeys

Great looking dog! Looks like Pearl! Love it! Gosh I love my girl!

Great likeness, a true tri attitude. BRATs Blog had a post a few days ago comparing basenjis to Velocoraptors. We think of they as "land sharks" and ferocious dinosaurs, yet they are so sweet and snuggly so much of the time. Except when they aren't.

Except when they aren't.
When they are not they are force to be feared. Lightning fast, smart, fearless, focused (prey/food) and will not back down. I admire my dogs as much for as bad traits as his good ones. You have to with these dogs.
I wish I could be more like my dog sometimes.

Love the photo-shopped coloring page! So fitting…and yes - you described my tri to a "T" and I do appreciated all of her traits - good and bad - finally:o! I attribute a lot of my understanding to this forum, so thank you all!
(and I've said it before - gosh, is he handsome!!!)
