  • @nikolitak Welcome to the forum! I'm very sorry for your loss & Leo is a beautiful red & white Senji! I know how you feel, I lost my 2nd Senji on Aug.24, 2016. I still cry over her. You could join BRAT or Camp Basenji or both! BRAT rescues purebred Basenjis & Camp Basenji rescues purebred & Senji mixes. You can fill in an adoption application at both, then check daily for any that you'd like to apply for. Just type the name in your search engine & you'll find them & find more really great people there too! I know I'm waiting for the right one to come along. BRAT has 3 up for adoption at this time, if you're interested. Nancy

  • @Nancy-Berry thank you so much! I appreciate the guidance and will look into both! Its so hard not having Leo with us. He definetly was my baby.

  • So sorry... I'm sure another basenji will cross your path.

  • @kjdonkers thank you....yes, im sure one will :)

  • What a wonderful picture. Treasure the memories of your life together.

  • What a sweet looking dog. I am so sorry for you loss.

  • He truly was a sweetheart. I miss him so much, I feel a part of my heart has left me.

  • @nikolitak Call me crazy but here's how I look at it (being 60 yrs. old). My 1st. dog was a Yorkie & I got her when she was 5 & had her until she passed, laying on my chest, April,5, 1998 @ 16 yrs. In mid July, 1998, I got my 1st. Basenji, Ch.Hackers DarlingDarla, 4 yrs. old & she passed Oct,16,2007 @ 13 yrs. (died of cancer). I called the breeder, (I kept her updated anytime something went on with Darla), & with-in a week, I had Dorie, who was repossessed for breaking the contract. And Aug.24, 2016, I lost Dorie @ 16 & a half yrs. old. So, my feelings are this: We have 4 chambers in our hearts. My Yorkie is in one chamber & my 2 Basenjis are taking 2 more chambers so ~ I've got 1 empty chamber left. And I must find another Senji. I loved my Yorkie but with Senjis...they're so unique in their ways! You have to earn their love & you are their human! They've challenged me in ways, mentally & physically, that I never knew a "dog" could! Each one is different & your Leo has been special to each one of you! So, he's in 1 chamber of your heart & I'm sure there will be another along (soon I hope) to fill another chamber! I told you to call me crazy;}

  • @Nancy-Berry You make perfect sense! And I definitely want another Basenji in our lives. I have contacted Leo's breeder also and although she doesnt breed anymore she is close with another breeder who is planning on puppies soon and said she would recommend us. I sure hope that all works out. He has definitely filled my first chamber!!!

  • @nikolitak I hope you have another Senji pick you out! You might get lucky & have a couple of them pick you out!!

    Yep, when it comes to Basenjis, it pretty much is a small world. Humvee, aka Tex Son, (he got his call name because he was the biggest puppy in his litter) has had a great show career, and you couldn't ask for a sweeter temperament - although the whole litter was was fabulous. His mom was a total love, and his dad is still incredibly handsome and devil-may-care at almost 11 years old. Hum loves to play with puppies and hang out in the house with his human mom. So although I haven't met Reba, I'm sure he will pass on his love bug genes! We will be hoping the news is good and you soon have a noisy, lovable troublemaker in your life. Terry

    @Scampy: Hello, everyone! I am so excited to have stumbled upon this forum! I belonged to Basenji Companions until last year, and I miss the community and advice. I have one basenji, a 10-year-old red & white male named Toby. I adopted him six years ago as a "golden opportunity" dog when his show/breeding days were over. He shares the house with three humans and a cat. (We may be inheriting another cat, but don't tell him…I'd sort of promised him a little sister.) Any other west Michigan folk out there? I was born in Kalamazoo! Welcome to the forum! Tabatha
