  • I am a new B owner of about 2 years. His name is Dash and he is like another child to us. We also have 2 cats, a beagle and fish. Oh yea, and I have a 6 yr old son. My B is as spoiled as they come. I work at Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus Ohio in the Business office. Our lives pretty much revolve around our family. We do find time to travel and try to do it as often as possible.
    I have signed up to help transport any B's for BRAT as well as some other things. I can't really think of anything else. i will have to put up some pics.

  • Welcome to the forum and koodos to you for being involved and helping out BRAT. It's funny how you mentioned your son last. Don't worry, we seem to mention our daughter secondary to our B. We recently welcomed him into our family and are still in that look at my dog's miliion pics and videos on the cell phone phase.

  • Welcome! How did you come across your B? Or am I being too nosey? Just wondering since you're involved in BRAT!

  • Funny you should ask. I think I sparked some debate on another thread. Dash is from Petland.

    I actually heard about BRAT through a co-worker. She said she had helped in the past so we looked it up. After having Dash we learned what a unique breed he was and wanted to help those dogs who the owners did not bargain for such an independent dog. Among other things….

  • Hello and welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see pics of Dash, and the rest of the family!!! I do home visits for BRAT. Would love to foster one, but space will not allow it at this time.

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. :( So give Pippi a hug for me.

    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!

    First off, Welcome to our site of valueable Basenji information. I have learned so much linking into this site, we have lots of laughs as well. My B, Sahara, crosses her legs all the time, she is such a showoff and often has the regal queen look. I love the look myself, they are such beautiful dogs I must say, not that I am partial or anything. Your Piper is so cute, welcome again.

    @WriggleysMom: We've always had rescues and I feel like I've missed out on puppy antics, so I'm debating. Toby doesn't baroo or wag his tail and I really miss being met at the door with a welcome baroo and a tail trying to wag itself off!! I had a puppy and was getting the urge for another but now we have a 7-mo old foster and I can't take my eyes off her. I remembered I really did not miss that!
