  • Hello, introductory post for me. My wife and I presently have two male Basenjis, both red and whites. They are, Ramses who is now 16-1/2 years old now and Arthur who is 12-1/2 years. Both in good health despite their ages. We have had them both since they were about a year old back when we lived in Ohio. They are rescue basenjis and have done very well. We have recently relocated to New Mexico just north of Albuquerque and the dogs are loving the heat this time of year. Very little adjustment issues to the high elevations here. Anyway...hello! Mike.

  • Hi Mike. Welcome to the forum! Congratulations on the longevity of your boys. Pictures would be nice! :)

  • Yes, I will have to add the photos...! Thank you for the welcome!

  • WELCOME! Your guys' ages are impressive! Can't wait for pictures!

  • Hi Mike,

    Please research the health problems in Basenjis especially Fanconi Syndrome! There is a DNA cheek swab test for it and I believe it only costs $75. If your dog has not been tested and is over two years old, she needs to be strip tested for glucose in the urine monthly until you have the DNA test done and obtain the results. Untreated Fanconi Syndrome will kill a dog! Here is a webpage that explains health problems in Basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=155&Itemid=292 Jennifer

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    Thank you for your reply Seko. Bandit is 11 weeks this Wednesday 6th Sept. When he turns around bearing his teeth and growling after being told off for being naughty, I point my finger at him saying a LOUD NO!! He doesn't like it, puts his ears back and looks at me. I have bought a clicker and will attempt to train him and my Lowchen "Alfie" together with liver treats. Wish me luck!! Angee
