  • welcome to the forum! Great photos!!!

  • welcome to the forum, i look foward to hearing more about Bimmy. Lovely handsome boy

  • My experience with B's is that they ONLY come when called when you first get them–after that, they know you'll never leave them behind so they get REAL casual about listening : ) Be careful about letting him off leash, few Basenjis develop really reliable recall, while many more are hit by cars or lost.

    I agree completely with this - when a Basenji has other things on his/her mind. you may become the last thing they care about. I always envy people who can let their dogs off leash - but I won't give my girl a chance to run off!

  • Welcome to Bimmy and your family! Those pictures made me smile - he looks like he has tons of personality. And isn't it nice when we can find a safe place for our dogs to run? They certainly, as Bruce Springsteen said, were "Born to Run". :D Groan…. ;D

  • Welcome to the forum, Bimmy loks a very smart boy.

  • @tkt:

    As for his name, his registered named was Serengeti to Bimini, so we just shortened it to Bimmy. It seemed to fit him well :).

    Serengeti? That's Midge Greenlee, right?

  • @nkjvcjs:

    Serengeti? That's Midge Greenlee, right?

    Yep, he was one of Midge's. We couldn't be more happy with his temperment….he is such a sweet boy!

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Any yes, it is always great when we can find a place to let Bimmy run, as he sure loves it! The beach mentioned in the earlier post was such a great location as it was only accessible by boat (no cars, woohoo!) and completely surrounded by water.

    We moved back to NC a few months ago, so we aren't close to that beach anymore, but we did find the next best thing…..lure coursing! We've taken him to two events so far and he loves it. The night after his first event I think he even dreamed about it, cause he started running in his sleep, haha!

    That's awesome. Welcome to the forum!

    Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases. ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies. Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller! Best of luck to you!

    Welcome! This is a great place for all to share about this wonderful breed! Lots of luck on the show circuit, but it doesn't seem like you need it!
