Bikin' Basenji

Basenji Talk
  • Ok, so there's a picture of a Basenji on a motorcycle in the spring issue of "Cottage Dog" magazine, and yes, it's a picture of my first Basenji, Giza. I happen to know the editor of the magazine, she wanted to do an article on motorcycle dogs and she remembered that we used to do a lot of biking with a dog, so an email showed up in my inbox… You can read the article on-line at: http://issuu.com/cottagedogmagazine/docs/cd_1204_cottagedog_issuu but you have to flip all the way to page 38.

    I'm a bit embarrassed by the picture of my husband and I (I thought there would just be pictures of the dog) because
    A) it's not that current, and in fact I can't even walk anymore, and
    B) my husband's wearing runners which is such bad bikin' etiquette but it was a really hot day and we were camping just down the road at the show site; the picture was taken at the Canadian Basenji National Specialty BBQ.

    And, as an aside, I bet Giza might have been the only competing dog to ever show up at a Basenji National Specialty on a Harley!

  • Gosh Joanne, those photos are so cool! Thanks for sharing.

  • haha how awesome! thats one proud basenji on the bike lol

  • Everyone looks badass, especially Giza. Thanks for sharing. =)

  • Great picture - I've got a very soft spot for motorcycling Basenjis!

  • Love it! I would not even dream of putting Dolce on the back of my bike. Firstly she hates when any wind blows in her face and freaks out when the windows are down in the car. Second, she is such a squirmer I fear she would wiggle herself right off the bike.

    We have two cats and two Basenji?s, but the basenji?s grew up with the oldest cat. They live togehter as a family, but the first meeting between Buana (oldest Basenji) and Spaik (oldest cat) was heavy Spaik was so mad at us he went under the bed and didn't show himselfe, when Buana got to close he hit Buana. Cats usually need time to get used to them, for you I think you need to watch them the first weeks constantly. From their behavior you can see how it's goint between them

    Totally agree with Pat. I have two intact female B's. They are NOT the best of friends and have to be watched constantly. They are never alone together. Yes, they've gotten into knock-down drag-out fights. I've been in the ring with slit throats, chewed up ears, scabs, etc. Not a good idea at all. I can control it simply because I watch them constantly and when they start to show signs of aggression, one goes into the crate. But it's not easy, it's stressful on everyone, and I really don't recommend it.

    BBOB-whew! So glad that you've done some homework with them. We've had too many abandoned B's lately that I can't bear it anymore. Like Andrea it depends on what they've gotten themselves into during the day like pretty flowers, grass or flowering trees…then I'm in trouble. :)

    I wash my dogs teeth every day. On beginning was hard…they do not like this-however I can this make. Care about teeth is very important-I use paste-STOMAGEL and Petosan.
