  • My Husband, Basenji and I live in Ne. USA . not to many basenji around here , I am retired and my husband is soon to be retired also. We have had our Izzy for a year and a half it has been up and down but we are holding in there . Some days he is an angel and sometimes not. however our furniture is still in tack, except the cushion on one chair, but took care of that easily as I did Upholstery for 38 yrs. just happened to have a piece of that material left. When we first brought Izzy home , if you were eating something he would go for your face . He as gotten over that now and sits patiently on the floor and takes things nice if you tell him nice. We don't ever let him have run of the house when we are gone and probably never will. We would like to take him traveling with us but don't know if that will ever happen. Well that is a quick run down of our little( Angel) LOL. Later I will have some health questions to see if anyone else has had the same issues. Hope this post haven't had any luck so far. WAs going to send a picture of our Izzy but haven't had luck at that either.

    Welcome and congratulations! I have two BRATS myself, and a third basenji as well. So beware, they ARE like potato chips (You can't have just one) I love her name, she is gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about her Homecoming!

    Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases. ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies. Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller! Best of luck to you!

    @gneigum: Thank you for the compliments to my dogs. There is not much that I can share about them, as they have only been in our home about three months, although my wife & I agree that it seems like they've been here all their lives. We were blessed to become aquainted with Simone Gaudet - www.beaubri.com - who gave us the lead. The dogs names are Nathaniel (6 in Jan. 09)pedigree at http://www.beaubri.com/Nate.html & Callie (5 in Nov. 08)pedigree at http://www.terrarust.com/pedigree-callie.html. They are, for the most part, very well behaved, & have adjusted extremely well to our home. Callie is like a bossy sister to Nate, & lets him know when she is unhappy with his presence. She is also very protective of her new home & I have to work with her to curb some agression issues with some visitors. Aside from that, we are enjoying them very much. I would enjoy hearing about your B(s) also. G Nate is my girl, Ruby's (Ch. Eldorado 'n Akuaba's Bejeweled) sire. :)

    Welcome, Andyboy! I too had see the movie and loved it as a kid. I haven't seen it in years so I don't remember it. I have the book though and plan to read it with my daughter this summer. The movie introduced me to the breed, but it was ultimately allergies that led me to own one, much like JazzysMom. Enjoy the forum…I know I do. Post more pictures when you can!
