Hello from Canberra, Australia

Member Introductions
  • Hello all, just thought I would formally introduce myself. I have browsed these forums for a few years since before i got my little man.

    My Basenji man is Oden Chezley and came from Wazazi Basenjis in Sydney, Australia and he just turned 2 in June.

    He is an absolute gem, of course troublesome when he was growing up but now he is perfection and has settled down although still has his cheeky streaks.

    i dont show him and he has had the snip, he is my best friend. i love him to pieces. i dont think i could ever change dog breeds now.

    i shall post some pictures of him in the "show of my dog" section.

  • Welcome to you and Oden!

  • Hello Oden, welcome to the best Basenji Forum in the world !!!

    Im in Tassie, and I also have 3 Wazazi dogs, 2 of which I show, but have 5 all-up :)…

    They are a little like chippies, you need more than 1 !!!

    Can I ask what your guys breeding is, cos I got my Vanda off Kylie 2 years ago as well, so Im wondering if they are related...

    Im looking forward to going down to look at Oden...

  • Hi Saba,

    Yes my boy is Vanda's sister.
    we have spoken on here before, i posted a couple of time when i first got oden. but that account has been deactivated from my lack of use. (which i aim to improve this time around)

    i want to get another Basenji this time a girl, but the boyf wont allow it till we move to a bigger place. we want to get a Black and White girl next time around. im sure Oden would love a little friend :D

  • I did wonder if we had talked before, but your new name confuddled me !!!

    I LOVE the bl/wh's and its my dream to get one, but just finding the right show quality dog is an issue. Im sure one day my dream will come true, I hope :)…

    Good to see you back here :-)...

  • Welcome to the Forum. Your guy is beautiful. It doesn't surprise anyone here that he retains his "cheeky" side - he wouldn't be a basenji if those went away.:rolleyes:

  • Glad you found us.

  • Welcome :)

  • Welcome to you and Oden.

    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!

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.

    Have you thought about a young adult? Maybe a rescue or one that a breeder has decided to place? Puppies take up so much time. A young adult usually (hopefully) has some manners and has been socialized and won't be quite as time-consuming as a puppy. Of course if you're able to take your pup with you to work, a puppy might be a great fit.
