We discovered a 2nd dog park within 20 minutes of our apartment…but this place is an extra 77 acres more than our closest dog park which is 3 acres! I don't know how nice or big dog parks are outside of the USA but I can say that this place may be the nicest dog park in the nation. It's on a national park with a reservoir fed by a creek. The dog park portion is fenced off and has bags, trash cans, water fountains, and people potties conveniently located. The main attraction is a half mile strip of creek bed with a running creek and usually a dozen or so wile water dogs...a conflicting situation for a playful Basenji that treats water like she's a cat! On the weekends there could be as many as 100 dogs there!
Here's a video I made of our adventures so far at the two nearby dog parks:

They look adorable together. Rescued dogs do so well when there is another dog to guide them. Congratulations on the new addition to your dog family.
-
They've been together two weeks but its the start of a lifetime for these two young Basenjis.
-
how sweet. I got a silken windhound puppy for xmas and Zest! my 7 year old basenji princess was like "YOU GOT ME A PUPPY FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!" and was so excited. I did not have the heart to tell her I got ME a puppy for Christmas.
I'm surprised the tree survived, but the ornaments did travel up the tree a bit. She tends to be very indulgent with him and has only recently started to correct him. (he's now 7 months) -

Boy do they ever look happy together.
What a joy to see. -
What cuties! Congrats.
Agile.. congrats on the silken. They look like small borzoi to me in pictures, have never met one. You have to share pictures!
-
Thanks DDS. Borzoi were used in the creation of the breed. Devon, my silken, can be seen on Dec 30th here:

love the pic of him under the tree. He's made a nice addition to the family here. Someday I'd like to get another brindle basenji, but just wasn't quite ready after loosing Digital my brindlewonderkid in August.
Didn't mean to hijack. I think Coloradical has a pair of scheming troublemakers on his hands.

As my girlfriend says, "Boy will be boys".
-
What a pair! We have 2 sisters (one year between them) and it has been great from the beginning. They always have someone to run/play/snuggle with.
-
Utterly Adorable!
-
Cute pair. I think that's the first time I've seen a basenji so muddy.
-
Looking very relaxed and comfortable. Nice pics.
-
I was like awwwww so freaking sweet together… then I hit muddy legs. Bahahahaha. Obviously things are going well!
I love the pic of Devon doing a high5.. did your basenji train this feat Agile?
