Basenjis: A Complete Pet Owner's Manual by Mary Lou Kenworthy
-
I bought the Kenworthy book too and thought it was great.
Funny story about it … I was reading it in bed one night when EL D pops out from under the covers. He sees the picture on the cover and tenses up and starts sniffing and staring and cautiously coming closer -- I jerked the book towards him and he jumped back so fast -- what a hoot!
P.S. What neat looking birds TSJoe.

I have many basenji books including the Elspet Ford book, Mary Lou Kenworthy's book, and Sue Coe's book. They are all good books and each a little different. When I was first researching the breed Sue Coe's, The Basenji: Out of Africa to You was the one recommended to me and was very comprehensive. Mary Lou's book is also very good and geared to the pet owner. Elspet Ford's was a different perspective on the breed since it filled in a lot more of the British history than Sue Coe's book.

I'm going to have to get Susan Coe's book, especially because Ruby is of Akuaba lineage. Thanks for posting about that, because I didn't know she had written a book.

I love this book! I bought a copy when I was in the market for a basenji. I actually got to meet her at a lure coursing meeting (lure coursing is a great activity for basenjis). MaryLou gave me the contacts for the basenji i have now. If you dont have this book you should. Suprisingly I found it at Barnes&Nobles.

I also bought this book before getting Dallas & am so grateful I did! It has a lot of useful information about such a unique breed :)
-
A Kennel Club Book: Basenji is also a great book. It has about 155 pages and written by Juliette Cunliffe.

So I found two books out by here the first blue one then the one that says Basenjis: Everything About History, Purchase, Care, Training, And Health. Which one is better for soon to be puppy owner?

I've bought this book and find it to be excellent. It's well targeted to basenjis, instead of being a dog book where all they do is edit the name of the breed and pump out numerous owner's manuals. I plan on re-reading it and highlighting the various passages that will help me when I purchase my puppy.
