Oahu, Hawaii (Kapolei)

Basenji Talk
  • Im shocked to say ive seen QUITE a Few Basenjis since we got here to hawaii on Aug 1st!! Im SO excited because Im pretty sure there are at least 2 here in my Town!! It seemed like in CT that to see another B was a RARE occasion, its refreshing to see so many here on this ISLAND!! :)) If anyone is a B Mommy or Daddy here on Oahu, Add me as a Friend!! Maverick and I would love to have a Play Date!!

  • That is good to hear. I hope you find at least one to play with on a regular basis, that would be so much fun.

  • One of Otis brothers went to Hawaii. So if you see one looks like Otis you know were it came from.

  • Sorry posted to the wrong thread, I'll put it in the right one.

  • I always loved Oahu, such a pretty area even though it is busy at the same time. It has a great climate too. I have traveled to that area many times - you're so lucky ;)

    I remember seeing a good number of basenjis there too when I visited, great climate for basenjis, they love that weather.

  • Im excited to stop whatever im doing next time i see a B and introducing myself! I Hope they are friendly!! BC i might scare someone off!! lol

  • You should have come to the show in Ewa this weekend.
    We had 5 entered and were there all day long!
    Not sure when I am going back… and may even take a B and an IG next time!
    Just got home from the weekend trip an hour ago :-)
    Was lovely weather, but with a breeze [unlike Portland!].

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    John Gaidos who is Teazer Basenjis lives in Oahu. He often has his dogs out and about… I hope that someday I will be one of the "locals" out walking my basenji in hawaii :)
