Hello from Colorado!

  • We are a young couple, both full-time workers and part-time students.
    Juniper is a brindle female we were blessed to receive from TarSha Basenjis in Arizona.
    She is now 5 months old. Fanconi tested normal but she started her first heat two weeks ago so that has been interesting…

    9 weeks

    Fishing story; "It was THIS big" - 12 weeks

    Squirrels aren't accustomed to tree-climbing dogs - 14 weeks

    Hiking - 15 weeks

    Just the other day

    Note for mods: I already submitted basically this same thread but it never got posted after the "review" by mods (since I'm a brand new member, I guess). Hope this one actually makes it through!

    Thank you for adopting this beauty. She looks so much like my first basenji.

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!

    I agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.
