  • Hi Everyone,

    I am new to the forum and just wanted to say hello. I got my first purebred basenji in April this year. He is now 61/2 month old and his name is Xavier. I also have a mix breed Basenji (I think she might be mixed with a boxer). She is now 12 years old, but is still keeping up with the puppy.

    We are currently training Xavier to be my husbands service dog (ESA). He seems to really enjoy the training and is picking things up quickly. However, I will say he is super stubborn at times, but we knew that going in.

    Look forward to participating in the forum in the future.

    Admittedly Basenjis and sheep are a problem. Thank you for such friendly welcomes. I have had some Basenjis who I did eventually manage to 'train'!!? to be safe with sheep and could wander among them and occasionally help to herd, others (including my current pack are killers and can't be left to wander freely where the sheep are. We have a double gate system for visitors. There was a time when I could have taken them all out for walks together but now I take them 3 at a time and my whole day is taken up with exercising dogs. When I get the hang of my digital camera I'll post some piccies. Nomrdggs - I'm not sure I have kept my sanity!!!! Tanza - I have actually seen some of our original imports - and I have attempted to breed as close to the original type as I can. I bred my last litter 4 years ago.
