    My Name is Kim, and I'm from Portland, Maine. My furkids consist of two basenjis, a catahoula, and a weimaraner. Sid, dark skies alias, a B is just about a year and a half, his sorta half brother/cousin (Same mom, father's are full brothers) Burrito (Dark skies civil disobediance) is about 7 mos. We are thinking aobut showing burrito, but we are not 100% sure yet. Daisy Duke, or Daisy D, or any other combination I can think of is a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog. She is about 1 1/2-2years old, we adopted her from Virginia. She was originallly from Florida caught as a stray, and put into foster by C.U.R.S (Catahoula United Rescue Society), where we adopted her from. Maserati, who we call Masi, is a one year old Weim, she was taken from a breeder who was going to put her down because of not knowing if she would have permenant brain damage after being dropped on her head and/or fed rat poison by the placement home :(. So we took her, and she is absolutely wonderful! Thats my crew, I post pictures of them ALL the time on my blog http://www.liquidpoison.blogspot.com if you wanna see them :).

    This first image is of Masi and Daisy practicing their "sit-stay", the next is of my boys just looking cute!

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!
