  • I am not, but would love to be..I am a pure "pet owner, sometimes shower (lol), but for sure lover" kind of a person..

    I would sign for you

  • I would sign for you

    Thank you Tanza…will see if I can get another sign-on and then I'll sign up..

    I can get another signature for you, just fill out the application. IMO, you have really prove a value to the breed. You have learned so much in such a short time… it amazes me!! Well Done

    I was thinking the same thing, you should have no problem finding someone to sign for you :) If you need it, I certainly will :)

  • I'm a member. BCOA is actually one of the easier breed clubs to get into. Some of the larger ones are significantly more difficult.

    Our local club requires two signatures too but that's usually not hard to get. If you know a BCOA member and don't live near them you can always send an application to them via the mail.

  • Anne, I would also sign for you if you reconsidered being a member.

  • Petra, I would absolutely sign for you! In fact, Bob and I both would, but I think there's a rule that 2 members from the same family can't both sign…

  • I am a member and I would be happy to be a sponser also. :)

  • Awesome…will sign up here in a few then..I've been wanting to sign up for a while, but felt odd asking for "sponsors"...thank you so much guys..:D
    How do I do it, just fill my app form out and send in payment, then what?

    Thank you again..:D

  • I am not a member. Like others, I've always been under the impression that the BCOA is mainly for show people and breeders.

    Since we don't know any other Basenji owners (let alone any BCOA members), I wouldn't have anyone to sign the application. Now, if we lived in the Seattle area, that would be a different matter, but I'm not sure there are even any Basenji owners here (not that I'm aware of, anyway).

    Your pups breeder is a member, they would sign for you, as would I.

    And again, BCOA is not just for breeders or people that show. It is for everyone and everyone has something to offer and learn about the breed.

  • I'm a member of BCOA.

    Also, don't forget about your local basenji clubs….they are also for ANY basenji owner.

  • @Rivermoon:

    You are exactly right!

  • @tanza:

    How many here are BCOA members? How many would want to be? If not, why not?

    .

    I've been a member for 10 years.

  • I was a member, not now.

  • Debra, if you ever want to rejoin, I will sign for you.

  • Thanks Andrea, Sharron and LVoss, I may just apply and join up. I am addicted to the breed.

  • Anne, you really should join! You are such a great basenji person.

    And I feel anyone/everyone who is interested in basenjis should join. I think it is only helpful to gain many different persepctives of basenji life. I feel strongly that the BCOA should not just be for breeders and tend to cast my vote for BCOA board people who are interested in more than just conformation.

    So I hope to see many new members on the upcoming rosters!

  • I am not a member, but I have looked into it and would be interested in joining.

    I would be interested in some events just to witness and understand how "professional" Basenji people do things at large organized events, to see a variety of Basenjis, to learn more about the breed history and current breed activities, and to help out with the rescue side wherever possible.

    I use the scare quotes because I realize it's not just a club for breeders and professionals, but I do feel like that's the crowd that a lot of the events cater to. I could be mistaken of course. And with a fairly active local Basenji meetup group, I have not been hurting to meet other B's, though I would always love to meet more!

    Please research the health problems in Basenjis especially Fanconi Syndrome! There is a DNA cheek swab test for it and I believe it only costs $75. If your dog has not been tested and is over two years old, she needs to be strip tested for glucose in the urine monthly until you have the DNA test done and obtain the results. Untreated Fanconi Syndrome will kill a dog! Here is a webpage that explains health problems in Basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=155&Itemid=292 Jennifer

    Welcome-Basenji's=two year olds (I want, I will get what I want, you can't make me, phthhht on you, did I do that?) Yeah, it's never THEIR fault, it's always yours. Unfortunately, I've been in your situation until it didn't work anymore and placed the one girl with my son and his girlfriend.

    @Scampy: Hello, everyone! I am so excited to have stumbled upon this forum! I belonged to Basenji Companions until last year, and I miss the community and advice. I have one basenji, a 10-year-old red & white male named Toby. I adopted him six years ago as a "golden opportunity" dog when his show/breeding days were over. He shares the house with three humans and a cat. (We may be inheriting another cat, but don't tell him…I'd sort of promised him a little sister.) Any other west Michigan folk out there? I was born in Kalamazoo! Welcome to the forum! Tabatha
