My Basenjis are 6 and 3. We live in Florida and I usually run with them 1-2, sometimes 3 miles. My run is still just a trot for them, but I let them stop and sniff and potty whenever they need/want, and I just do squats while they do it :). On the 3-milers, I am sure to bring water or let them stop and drink at the beach which is the turn around point. I also wet them down before hand.
Basenji in Hawaii
-
I was on the island of Oahu last week for vacation specifically in the Ko'Olina area and every morning at 7:00 ish I saw a local person walking their Basenji down by the water to the marnia. I bet that is one happy basenji with all the warm weather. I was on the 12th floor of the condo so I couldn't just run down and talk to the owner and get my basenji fix, because by the end of the week I was missing my pups horribly.

Mahalo,
Hawaii is a great place for a basenji.
It's not to bad for people too. -
John Gaidos who is Teazer Basenjis lives in Oahu. He often has his dogs out and about… I hope that someday I will be one of the "locals" out walking my basenji in hawaii
