I'd forgotten how hard it is to entrust my semi-special needs boys to an unknown commodity but have recently moved & must attend a destination wedding.

I have 3 rescues: a 'normal' female, a male who's terrified of strangers and an extreme flight risk, plus a visually impaired youngster. The female & timid male do best sharing a kennel in non-free range facility with experienced staff and excellent security. The puppy wouldwould be happier in home setting with lots of humans, including older kids…he'd knock down or scratch a young child, plus he's a door Bolter.

If anyone knows a warm, experienced super-secure boarding kennel, or if you'd be interested in baby-sitting the youngster in exchange for similar care for your B, let me know!

As I have said before, I work on the principle that I am bigger than they are and it is MY house. Make a tremendous song and dance about unimportant misdeamours and pretend to ignore the serious infringements.

Then when the pack wants to punish me they do something which they know will get them the most attention - screaming and tears from me.

But a bored Basenji will tend to destruction if there is nothing else to do. It needs plenty to hold its interest. Toys, bones, a companion.

My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

Here's an update on Lana:

since the Hips/Eyes/Fanconi is all good/normal/clear (still waiting for thyroid), we actually went ahead and selected the male, absolutely stunning Ch. Bushbabies Red Ryder, from Bushbabies Basenjis in Livermore, CA. Waiting for Lana to come in heat! They are a very good match, body and personality, should be pretty nice puppies!
