    Chris Maxka is the breeder. She is bringing him back from Finland from another breeder that has had him for the past few (5-6?) years.

    He will be 8 years old on November 30th and yes, he was shown but I do not understand much about all that. It's interesting to look at on paper but we just want a companion dog. From what we have learned from the second breeder is he will be outstanding in that role as well. i.e great temperment, great with kids etc.

    Congrats, Chris has some very nice dogs. She has used the offspring of one of my boys for some of her recent litters.

    Q is what he responds to. I've seen his show name both as Differential Equation and Different Equation.

    His registered name is officially Different Equation but that was an error on AKC's part that never was fixed. His breeder had submitted Differential Equation as his name. The litter was math themed. His brother is Pi, Pi R Squared.

    Just a little update. We brought Q home Tuesday night around 7PM after a very long trip (the poor little guy) of flying from Finland into Newark and a 2 hour ride from the airport to Chris's home. Luckily the ride from there to our home was 20 minutes or less as I am sure he was tired of travelling. I could not ask for anything more from him, he is everything I hoped he'd be. Great mannerisms, affectionate, great with our 3 year old. He met the cat and she was the nasty one (he stays away from her and ignores her).

    My wife works from home and she called me yesterday to say she was cleaning our sons rabbit's cage and forgot to close his door while she was doing it and guess who walked in to see what was happening? She told him to sit, you cannot have the rabbit and he actually obeyed instantly. I would have expected a pile of fur to be left behind LOL.

    The only negative at the moment is we had to switch his food as it is not available around here (we are trying Blue Wilderness Duck atm) and when I heard folks state B's can be a stink butt….well....hopefully we find something that upsets his tummy less SOON.

    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.

    Welcome, from another Ohioan. We are on the north side of columbus and have 1 r/w boy. We have occasionaly taken him to the Westerville dog park but his behavior has not be great lately. We have cut back. We also help BRAT transport and foster. Great to have more B's in Ohio. I see so few of them in Columbus.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    @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!
