  • I am a new member to this site. My wife and I have had Basenjis since the 70's. We are a part of the Fanconi web site, as we lost our Fanconi boy basenji, Toby, several years ago at age 6 1/2.. Our basenjis are now rescues from BRAT. We have two presently, we had a third basenjis, Jade, but we lost her at the age of 5 to a brain tumor. Cody is our younger basenji, age 7 and Emma is age 8. Cody has been blind for over a year and a half, due to SRDS at age 5. He does very well and gets around fantastically, although his chasing squirrels days are behind him. Emma is the queen of the house and one of the most affectionate basenjis that we have had. Would like to post some pixs of our basenjis, as soon as I can figure out how to do it.

    Every single person who loves the breed has a right to care when irresponsible breeders get support. I am sorry you don't get that. Nor was it s lecture...it was facts.

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    @Scampy: Hello, everyone! I am so excited to have stumbled upon this forum! I belonged to Basenji Companions until last year, and I miss the community and advice. I have one basenji, a 10-year-old red & white male named Toby. I adopted him six years ago as a "golden opportunity" dog when his show/breeding days were over. He shares the house with three humans and a cat. (We may be inheriting another cat, but don't tell him…I'd sort of promised him a little sister.) Any other west Michigan folk out there? I was born in Kalamazoo! Welcome to the forum! Tabatha

    Thank you for your reply Seko. Bandit is 11 weeks this Wednesday 6th Sept. When he turns around bearing his teeth and growling after being told off for being naughty, I point my finger at him saying a LOUD NO!! He doesn't like it, puts his ears back and looks at me. I have bought a clicker and will attempt to train him and my Lowchen "Alfie" together with liver treats. Wish me luck!! Angee
