    Has everybody seen 'Finding Nemo'? When we saw the seagull scene "Mine, mine, mine"…we were like "BASENJIS!"

    Since I am fairly new to basenjis, I found your property laws hysterical!
    Lillie always seems to find items that she thinks are hers early in the morning when I am getting ready to go to work. At 6:40 AM when I am just about to leave my house, she steals everything from me! I can't leave anything around. Whatever she can get to, whatever is in her reach - she thinks it belongs to her. I am thinking of putting up a shelf (really high) just so I can put my pocketbook and other items that I need to take with me. Any ideas or suggestions? Can I do anything to "work with" this behavior or is it just a basenji thing? I appreciate any suggestions.

    Welcome to the world of Basenji's! As I said in another thread-NOTHING is one the floor, hanging over, within reach or within possible reach-like using other obstacles to obtain desired property. Sugar used to climb on the crate to go over the gate. Learned my lesson real quick!

    Suggestions-shelves are good, closets are good, hide everything, make sure nothing is sticking out partway, and baby gates and locks-I love them!

    Either up-and-away or inside-and-away. Remember these beasties can jump if they have a mind to.

    Addition to the basenji property rules: if you're using something it's mine, so LET GO.

    Dear Jodie:

    No. Everything will probably always be the Basenji's. The term "leave it" works for when you are looking. When your back is turned, it's hers/his again. Including #16 above.

    High shelves and hooks on the wall (to hold your purse and other things you need)are part of living with a basenji. Even in the bathroom, few people can keep TP on the roller, most on high shelves there as well !

    • 1…Sigh. And why is it that everything belongs to her when I'm desperately trying to catch a 10 minute nap, or late to leave the house?

    Ya - I'm relatively new to basenjis too, but I'd learned real quick that the only things we can leave lay are the toys. My 2 coffee tables have scratches all over them & since we've brought our boy home, I've found a hole in my curtain, holes in my couch pillow, teething marks on my dining room chairs…I never knew how good my girl actually was until our little fella decided to show her up...

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.

    Basenji Traits Your Basenji Doesn't Have…

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!
