On the flip side of this conversation can the breeders or owners recommend or suggest what they think Is a reasonable distance in walking an older basenji. My B turned 14 this past January. She always loved her walks - in her prime we’d do 4-5 miles a day. This past summer I noticed I had to walk her early in the morning or early evening due to the heat.This past fall we were doing about 2-3 miles per day and she was always eager to walk. Once winter hit, it was very sporadic and limited - depended on the weather. It was the first winter that she would refuse to go for a walk if there was snow out it was too cold. Once weather got better, we started walking again but have only been doing about 1 mile per day. There are many days she stops dead outside the door wanting to go back in if it’s too cold (I always dress her w/ a sweater or jacket if it’s cool). She enjoys her walks and doesn’t have any physical restrictions except for her age. Otherwise, I feel she is still spry, active, alert, and maintains a reasonable weight. I forget that she’s old except for the fact that she has a white face.

Hi Guys
I am based in the uk and have wanted a basenji for a very long time but through one thing and another it just hasnt happened. Now i was hoping there may be some people on here who could point me in the right direction. I went to crufts this year and met a few b's and they are such a amazing creatures.
if you wanna know more about me just ask?

I would look on the Basenji UK society webpage and email some of the members. It's always best to have a chat with a breeder near by. Members can also point you to reputable breedings.

Theres some wonderful breeders in the UK as im sure you've found out
Best to get on a waiting list ASAP if you're wanting one this year 
Do you know what colour you want as that will narrow your breeder search down a bit probably?
