Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him.

Basenji in Florida

Our cats are really baffled by Jazzy. We've always had cats and dogs together, and our dogs have always loved our cats. The cats rub up against them, the dogs lick their ears, they curl up together, etc. The cats have never had to employ any kind of self-defense methods.
This new kind of dog that chases cats has thrown them for a loop. LOL

Hello and welcome to the site! I live in Largo FL, so we are neighbors….I have a 6yr old red and white male named Caesar and a Brindle boy basenji that is 11 weeks old! We should chat about out puppy woes together!
There is a great basenji group in the Tampa area that meets every Sunday at the West Part off of Hillsborough Avenue around 11ish...
Cairo had his second set of shots so we are waiting until the rabies shot to take him to the park.
I am so excited you are so close and with child, uh I mean puppy, oh I mean teething monster.....

Welcome!!! I am also new to this forum and so far it is great. Alot of info and friendly people. Like others were saying about your cat. WATCH OUT. I got my basenji as a puppy and she loved, loved, loved my cat. They slept together and everything, now my cat is in our back room with a gate between her and Sada(my basenji) because Sada caught onto furry thing running I need to catch. Sada now has no mercy for my cat and I know will hurt her if caught. It is her instinct. She also loved children when she was younger, now I don't trust her with children. I don't know what happen that she no longer likes children but I know she thinks she is the boss. Good luck with your new bundle of joy and I mean bundle. After a year you won't want to be without your basenji.

yes I did hear about they likes the cats and children at first, I'm not too worried about Duo, she really can take care of herself, she's been threw 6 dogs before Bindi and has tough each of them to leave her alone
as for children, I never plan on having any and my nieces are almost grown into teenagers now so it won't be a problem~Kat

And here I thought I was the only one who had a Basenji named Bindi.
I got the name from Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's daughter. How about you?

actually the name just came to me when I got her, I had a virtual dog named Bindi but it was a Corgi, but the same colors
I liked the name then and I liked it with her, I found out afterwards Bindi was his daughter, I had originally thought it was his dog's name LOL
I also found out Bindi mean 'a drop' in Indian (India Indians) and she has a spot on her shoulder so it fits that way toohow old is your Bindi?

My B,. never bothered my cats until she got older. She drives my cats crazy now, trying to chase them, bite at them, anything to bother them. My 17 yr. old cat has a real difficult time with Sahara, my B. She tries to grab her by the collar and pull her around the room, and she bites her feet and legs. I have gotten her by squirting her with water, got my B by the collar to pull her off my cat, everything I can think of and Sahara still goes after her. The other day I heard Sahara yap while in the yard, of course I jumped up and looked outside and sure enough she was messing with my cat. She left her alone for the rest of the day and the next day it was the same thing, bother the cats. They have such a strong instinct to chase, and sometimes I think Sahara is just plain jealous over the cats, doesn't want to share attention from me. Gotta Love these dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how old is your Bindi?
~Kat
Steve's daughter was Bindi Sue, named after his favorite croc Bindi and his dog Sui.
My Bindi is about 1 1/2 years old now. She's tri colored. I didn't know about the Hindu red spot being called Bindi until long after.

Hi Kat, Wwelcome to the joys of raising a basenji puppy, you are far braver than I am! We live in Tampa and have 3 basenjis who go to the dog park daily, and twice on Sunday. If you have a good dogpark nearby, it is a great way for them to use a bit of that energy of which they seem to have so much. Maybe we can meet up some day, that would be fun. we are looking forward to seeing Mantis again soon, her Caesar is a wonderful dog, and Cairo is too cute for words.
