  • I have a french bulldog who is almost 3 years now, and my parents have a basenji girl named Yuna that's a little over 1 year old. We live in the same area, so we spend a lot of time together with both dogs, and we help each other out for vacations and sickness, things like that. I consider Yuna to be my little girl, just as much as she is theirs.

    Now I'm not very interesting, but Yuna sure is! Where to start? I'm sure many of you have seen the 16 basenji puppies video that's been going around the internet. Yuna is one of them, from a litter of 4. I have to start by saying how lucky we were to get a pup from such a good breeder! I've never owned a basenji before, but it was clear from the start that she's had a great start in life. I have never seen a more confident puppy before, and even though there are no children in my family, it's obvious that she has had a great experience with kids.

    I joined this forum because it's clear that basenjis are very different from most other dogs, and I see that Yuna has some traits that are the complete opposite of what I'd expect from any dog.

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    Big hugs to you for adopting an older basenji. My heart gets broken when I see the senior b's on the BRAT web page. :( So give Pippi a hug for me.

    Welcome, from another Ohioan. We are on the north side of columbus and have 1 r/w boy. We have occasionaly taken him to the Westerville dog park but his behavior has not be great lately. We have cut back. We also help BRAT transport and foster. Great to have more B's in Ohio. I see so few of them in Columbus.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    Dave hello, I also am new to this site. I had my frist Basenji for sixteen years and lost her last year. I could only go for about a month before getting my next Basenji. I really love this breed I have two now. Good luck in your search for your next Basenji.
