    Hi! I live in Jeannette. Not sure how many basenji owners live around western PA. My boy is 16. Not sure how much longer he'll be around.

    Hi I know this thread is old, but I am getting a basenji puppy after Christmas this year. I would love to do meet ups and get to know you and your dog(s) so you can tell me all you know! My pup will be 12 weeks old when I pick her up (from Klassic Basenjis). I live in Wexford, PA and am moving to West Deer/Gibsonia, PA (slightly north of Pgh) after the new year. (Yes moving and having a new puppy will be utterly insane!)

    Let me know if you are interested!

    -Becca

    Hi Becca, just saw your post. We will be getting our basenji pup in march, from hicotn,
    I would love to chat with you, do you have a vet that is familiar with basenjis? I live near camp Horne, so not far from Wexford. Would love to get together after we get the puppy.
    Hope to hear from you. Kerry

    I lost my dear boy last July. He was 16 1/2. Nice to know there are some basenji owners around the Burgh.

    There is a dog park in Bellevue. Is that too far? It’s not usually very crowded. That’s why I like it. Maybe we can wait until the weather is a bit better and not so wet! My cell. 4122511212. You can message me

    Linebreeding isn't breeding to cousins. Inbreeding is not just about critically endangered breeds. In fact if you asked 100 breeders for a definition of linebreeding, you would get a dozen different definitions... from linebreeding being any relative (ie aunt/nephew; grandfather granddaughter etc) that isn't first (mother/son, daughter/father, siblings) or closest connection. For others, like some famed geneticists, inbreeding is breeding dogs with common ancestors but no close relationship. (Lush: According to Lush, linebreeding pairs animals that are related to a specific ancestor, but which are little if at all related to each other. https://www.instituteofcaninebiology.org/blog/lush-on-linebreeding) So when you talk about inbreeding or linebreeding, it helps to discuss what you mean by either term. For the rest ... this is the basenji forum. So if interested in breeding dogs, here are some initial articles. From AKC: https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/dog-breeding/the-art-and-science-of-breeding-better-dogs/ Kennel Club: https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/health/for-breeders/understanding-canine-genetics/inbreeding-and-health/ Inbreeding/linebreeding isn't necessarily good or bad. The truth is you can breed half-siblings, father/daughter and get MORE genetic diversity than from what looks like an outcross for generations. That is why understanding the COI (Coefficient of Inbreeding) matters. And why people like Pat and other good breeders understand the need for keeping line info, medical/health stats, and have a clue about the topic. It isn't simple. Someone who starts studying now may have some inkling in 5 years. Making up simplistic comparisons helps no one. https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/health/for-breeders/inbreeding/ http://www.dogbreedhealth.com/a-beginners-guide-to-coi/

    Found this thread and figured I would respond. I have an almost 1yr old Male (27 November) and would be interested in meeting up with other Basenji owners and their dogs. I live near Quantico and quite honestly don't see any other Basenjis ever. Will drive to most parks in the NOVA area.

    Hi! Google West Park in Tampa. You will see some curly tails there around 11am every Sunday!
