    Hi! I'm Emma (or oneWish) and I'm obsessed with dogs! For quite some time, I've been researching dog breeds; looking for one that would best suit my lifestyle. Then I found the Basenji! Well, what a great dog to have around!

    Hopefully, I'm going to rescue a Basenji in due course (preferably this year). But for now, I'm just making sure that I now everything about the breed before taking the leap!

    :D Emma

    They never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.

    That's greatof you, first of all to rescue and second to get as much info on a basenji. I think it would be a great idea for you to look at all the forums so you can see what we as B owners must do on an everyday basis and the challenges we face and of course our rewards for having them in our lives. All I do is read and ask questions so you know what to expect and how to prepare to make yourself, home, family ready to welcome such a wonderful, very energetic, beautiful dog into your life….Good luck

    So many people make snap decisions based on the cuteness factor of puppies and never even stop and think that they should research the breed before making an impulse buy. Kudos to you for doing things the right way and also for planning to rescue!

    I'm sure you've probably exhausted all the internet resources available regarding Basenjis, but, just in case you haven't seen them, here are a few to look at:

    http://www.basenjirescue.org/

    http://basenji.20m.com/

    http://www.basenjicompanions.org/

    Welcome to the forum! We'll look forward to pics! :)

    He could be a rat terrier mix; but he’s handsome!

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.

    Thank you~ I'm going to do a little research about how to equip her for the snow. We're planning a trip to Indiana in February and I don't want her to freeze. I'm wondering if dog shoes would be a good thing to get and have her get used to for walking in snow. I know she'll need a new coat since she's outgrown her old one. She gets shivery easily.
