  • Hello, a warm welcome from me too. I used to live in Scotland and had a Border Collie there. I have a Basenji now and I must say both types of dogs are outstanding.
    Please send pictures and…perhaps with a Scottish background? I miss that place so much!

  • Aha! Yep, I'm with you now! It was lovely to meet you all and your stunning dogs. :) I think Roxy enjoyed herself as well!

    Hello. :)

    I have just posted some pictures of Roxy. I will try and find some with Scottish backgrounds for you. I'm sure there are some!

  • Hi Nicola, we were at the SKC too on Sunday. I think i remember seeing your lovely Roxy. We live in Scotland too so hopefully will see you again sometime. This is a great forum with lots of great info.

  • Hello Nicola, welcome to the forum.

  • Hi Nicola,

    You will know me from another forum;)
    I was there on sunday though not showing. I saw Roxy but didn't realise it was you:(
    You walked past us with Roxy after judging and both my mum and I said "that looks like a Basenji x" so that would explain it then:rolleyes:
    What a shame i didn't know it was you as we could have had a blether, oh well maybe meet you at some point.

  • Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! I wasn't sure initially how you would all accept someone with a Basenji cross so it's lovely being here! :)

    Hello Theresa. :)

    Yes, I'm sure we'll meet someday. Would be lovely to meet you and your dog/s.

    The Basenji is a breed I have come to adore, so this forum is great for reading all about them and looking at the pictures too! Very interesting indeed!

    Hi Jenny! :D

    Oh what a shame. :( I was undecided on posting about SKC on the other site, I wish I had done now! Not to worry, we'll meet someday, I'm sure! And of course, I'd love to meet your gang too.

    I remember hearing someone saying "….Basenji cross" as I was walking by! Who'd have thought it was you! ;)

    Congrats on your puppy…. has he (or his sire/dam) been health tested for Fanconi and PRA with the DNA test? Very important this if this has not been done for his Sire/Dam that you have your boy tested. And even if they have been tested, never hurts to follow up with having him done also.

    Lakers13 - all this will be very disappointing to you now that you are on the verge of getting your puppy but I hope you'll be taking this very well meaning advice. I don't know this breeder and so wouldn't dream to make comment but of course these other resepctable breeders do and you've heard from others' experienes with dogs affected with Fanconi. I'm sure at this time of year you'll soon be able to find a healthy puppy form a genuine breeder.

    Sorry if we sound so disagreeable … but it is so important that the health of our breed is #1 on everyones list and that everyone understands and does as much health testing as possible before breeding... especially since we have genetic problems that we can't test for, the family tree becomes our only way of knowing what we might expect... and it is only fair to people thinking about getting a Basenjis as a family companion that they know what they might expect..... Everyone should visit the BCOA Health site (www.basenjihealth.org) and learn what is being done to find genetic testing and what everyone can do to help
