Hi from new member!


  • Hi-I'm Nancy Scott, the willing slave of the sweetest little b girl named Cassie who we adopted through BRAT in December of 2010. Cassie is the lights of our lives-she is a typical b…sleeps between us in bed....races around doing the b500...easily seduced by food...

    We live in FLorida on a small island in the Gulf of Mexico-it is a very dog friendly place, so Cas has been patted and welcomed everywhere we go. And I have had the opportunity to do lots of impromptu lectures on Basenjis for people who ask questions when we meet them on walks around the island.
    Cassie has befriended our mail carrier, who leaves abiscuit for her in the mailbox, and all the owners at the dog park. She is smaller than almost anyone there, but her speed and agility always draw interest.

    Right now she is curled up snoring beside me as I type this. I love meeting and and reading notes from other Basenji owners. Everyone seems extraordinarily nice. Thanks for the welcome. I think Cassie and I are going to be very happy!!!

    Welcome Nancy and Cassie, glad to have both of you onboard. Sounds like Cas is living the dream with you in Florida…lucky girl.


  • I love the name basenjmamma! I feel the same way! Thanks for the warm welcome.

  • Welcome Nancy and Cassie! We are in the Tampa area, are you near-by? We have a Sunday meet up at a dog park and are always happy to see new folks. One of mine is a BRAT (from 10 years ago).


  • Hello and welcome from Canada! Your Island sounds like a wonderful place!


  • Welcome :)


  • Welcome to you and Cassie.

    Congrats... all good questions... should start with your breeder. I do not feed puppy food, mine eat adult food and I only use grain free. I also change up foods every 3 to 4 weeks that way I never have a problem introducing new foods. Veggies are a favorite as are most fruits... Who are you getting your puppy from? Many of us are related by our Basenjis pedigrees

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.
