I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.

Hello Everyone!!!
I am so excited about finding this forum!!! I am proudly ruled by a tri basenji boy named Corky. My husband and I foster puppies for a local rescue and so does Corky. He is the best foster brother these little babies could ask for. My boy plays so nice and gentle with them and teaches them good manners among dogs.
Corky also has a brother and sister. His brother's name is buddy and he is a beagle/dalmation/??? mix. They are good friends until Corky decides that he owns all the chew toys in the house. Although Corky does realize that the ball is Bud's and definitely not his. Corky's sister is a pom/chi named Sophie. Sophie loves her brother Corky especially when it's time to cuddle up and nap. As far as size goes, the boys are exactly the same size and Sophie is about 7 pounds smaller.
I am totally looking forward to getting to know all of you and your basenjis as well as learning more about the breed.

I found this forum on the weekend, and find it great. I have one Basenji that belongs to my daughter and her fiance. He is "staying" with grandma until they get a place that allows dogs. In some ways I hope it is soon. He is keeping me on my toes…...

Hello,
I just became a new member today as well. These folks are really nice people! I've had Basenjis for 30 years and wished I had a forum like this. Before the internet I used to get Basenji magazine, find a breeders number or go visit one when I needed help. Anyway welcome! -
