Now I know why there is a basenji-forum

Basenji Talk
  • The nerve of some people. They must loose a lot of business with that attitude. I am lucky, Hollie's day care people LOVE to see her come in and she never has a bad report at the end of the day. If our day care didn't take jumpers, they'd be missing out on some business (one Springer Spaniel greeted me by jumping a counter to say HI!). To further secure things they use an 8 foot fence outside, and never leave the dogs unattended. Here's hoping you can Mica find someplace that really understands all dogs, including basenjis.

  • I still haven't found one so don't fear it's pretty common our Bs are SPECIAL :D :D and only the special know of them lol :D

  • So this is my song I sing to Mica because she makes me feel so happy sometimes.

    You must have been a beeootiful puppy,
    With beauuutiful brown eyes and a curly tail…

    (that's all I have for her right now...)

    Micas mom :)

  • BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES!!!! yes that's a line from my song too. Funny we are all the same, crazy for our B's.

  • Special dogs, special people….....that's just the way it is!

  • Did the first name of this doggie business start with DUHHHHH? Just asking!

  • Their loss!!! They have no clue what they are missing. There's nothing like a basenji. And there is no way to describe the feeling you get from a basenji.

  • I second that. Everywhere I go, Champ is loved even though he nipps I am not allowed to visit my nieces without their furry couisn.

  • How rude and sad…some people just don't want to be educated about things...it does take a special person be cause these beautiful creatures are special...I know my Jojo is...

  • THe place we kennel our dogs (also go to day camp every other Friday) love our Basenjis. They beg us to bring them back and someone there has asked us every time we have been there about when we were getting our new pupy since we called and asked how old they had to be to start going.

    That place is missing out big time.

    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!

    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!
