    Welcome! You'll find this pack pretty easy to run with :)

    I'm terribly sorry for your loss, but as they say, "Time heals all wounds." Keep your chin up and remember the good times!

    All the best,

    You have all made me feel so welcome. Snooper and I would just have been coming in from a late night walk about now. So, it's comforting to think of him running free over the rainbow bridge. I will follow the links and do my homework. We don't need a champion or show dog…just a basenji to love. Thank you all your your kind words. I'm glad I found this forum.

    @tanza:

    Here is a link to read about how to "interview" a breeder. http://www.tanzabasenjis.net/selectbreeder.html

    Wow! That's a really great link. I have never purchased a dog from a breeder, but if I did I would certainly use this. Thanks so much for posting.

    It is just as important to get a companion (pet puppy) from a responsible breeder, at least IMO

    I just notice a broken link that I will fix tonight. In the section The Most Important (will fix the spelling) … the link to BCOA should be www.basenji.org

    My sympathy on your loss, Snooper sounds like a wonderful friend.

    We have some amazing breeders on this Forum, some with pups coming in soon, as well as some adults who need homes.

    Also check out the BRAT site (Basenji Rescue and Transport) for many wonderful basenjis who need homes too.

    We got our first several basenjis from 'free to good home' ads in the paper, they ere all wonderful dogs, they seem to know when you have rescued them!

    Welcome, good luck finding a companion to help fill the holes in your heart.

    When you are ready to look for a new companion please remember to include BRAT and other rescue organizations where basenjis can be found, along with your searches for responsible breeders in your area.

    Are you looking for an adult or a puppy? Where in PA do you live?

    Thanks for asking. I guess I'm looking for a puppy at this point. We also have 3 cats, previous strays, and I thought a puppy might integrate better than a adult. I live in Hummelstown, just outside of Hershey.

    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!

    I agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.

    I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around. Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
