    Hello All!
    My name is Becky and my husband Josh and I are getting our first basenji soon! We are very excited!
    He will be two years old in December and he is a beautiful trindle named Hooligan.
    We had been looking for the right dog for us for what seemed like forever, then we discovered basenjis and fell in love right away!
    This seems like a wonderful forum - I've been reading the posts for a while and have already gotten some great information from you all.
    I'm looking forward to joining the basenji community and sharing pics of our boy! :)

    Cheers!

    The easy way is hardly ever the fun way.

    Welcome and enjoy! Hope you have both read up on what to expect. There are some owners real close to you and I'm about 60 miles West in Amherst. Been around them for 30 yaers and ought to know better but keep getting a new one.

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    @jinxed_1980: He doesn't like water… do you think nailing him with a water gun or spray bottle would be too mean? Never had a beggar b4 need help lol 90% of basenjis don't like water LOL and many of us use the spray/squirt bottles as training tools. These are considered non evasive training means and if perfectly harmless means. Best to give a verbal correction first of "AT AT" (yes right now he will ignore you) then squirt with the "AT AT", then he'll figure it out that you can just say the "AT AT" and if he ignores you like mine you should only have to just pick up the squirt bottle and he'll stop the naughty behavior. You can use the squirt bottle for just about any naughty behavior too other than begging, but try not to over use, try to use it more as you re-directive means after he is not working with alternate training techniques
