  • Ok, I'm going to attempt to make my first post. I've only just "found" this forum, but I've been around on a couple other lists, most notably the Basenji Pix list, for some time.
    I live in Ontario, Canada, with my 2 brats. They are Jigsaw, Vinaka's Piece Of The Puzzle, JC, 6 yr old red/white female; and Indy, Vinaka's Got The Pole Position, 3 yr old black/white male. Both were bred in the USA by Dennis and Cathy Trautman, and were very much worth the LONG drives to get them. (Jigsaw's drive home was thru' some very memorable snowstorms!) By pedigree they are aunt and nephew, but at home they are siblings all the way!
    Primarily they are my always-entertaining pets, but we have done some lure coursing (mostly with Jigsaw; Indy hasn't lived up to his name expectations in that respect) and Indy has done some conformation showing, now in altered classes whenever the opportunity presents itself. As those of you who may be on the pix list can attest, they both are very experienced models and willingly allow themselves to be the focus of my photography obsession.
    I have been a veterinary technician for almost 13 years and work in a small animal practice where Jigsaw and Indy get to come to work with me everyday.
    I hope to get to participate in some of your discussions, provided I can figure out my way around posting and replying! I'm not the most computer literate person out there! :-)

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.

    I believe we are meeting on Feb 7-lots of people are planning to attend. Should be a fun time. One of the most (what I consider) informative Basenji People is going to be there-Anne Smith.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen
