My Basenji Curious George

Member Introductions
  • My name is Helen Schneider of Huntsville, Texas and I have a wonderful basenji named George.
    Trying to post a picture of my Curious George but I am not that great with computers.
    My George is 18 years old !! we found him dumped !! in a remote area north of Midway, Texas.
    He and his "wife" had about 5 puppies when we resued them in 1999.
    He is a hand full but he has enriched my life like I never would have thought.
    Just wondering if George may be one of the oldest basenjis ?
    He has pulmonary fibrosis and was diagnosed in 2013. He currently has a steriod inhaler that has helped.

  • Wow 18 is extremely old. Congrats on keeping him going to such an great age.

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    @nouno: His parents are also in Cyprus. His mother is 4 years old. Did not have any problems. His father is 2 years old and also did not have any problems. Not yet. Is too expensive as I have to send all the test to the USA. But I will get through with it as long as I am able to. Age that Fanconi can show up is from usually 3 years all the way till over 10 years

    I would love to get some Bs together for a play date. I'm starting to think Lenny may only be dog aggressive with non B's. He and Tayda spent a month with 6 other B's and it was fine! Anyone near the Ann ARbor, Michigan area? Michelle

    I'm sorry for the loss of your dear Basenjis. Losing a pet is so difficult. I hope this site helps you through the transition. Welcome.
