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.
Hello, I'm Dan

I've been owned by Basenjis for 30 years. I'm a very physically active person so we're a perfect match. Sadly last Thursday, 5/3 I had to help one of my Basenjis, Ringo, a 14-1/2 year old red/wht go over the Rainbow bridge to Basenji heaven to be with Saint Jim . I hope I'm not losing anybody on what rainbow bridge is. visit
http://www.apubasenjis.com/RainbowBridge.html. He had a benign mass that grew and pushed against his organs/stomach. He could hardly eat and got very weak with a lot of weight loss. I couldn't see him suffer.
My blk/wht is doing fine. I've also had a tri color that lived to be 17-1/2. She was a real trooper! They're all real troopers! -

Hi Dan and welcome to the forum.
It's always hard to say goodbye, it does sound like Ringo had caring friend and surely will be missed. Sorry to hear of the loss, like the others…...post some pictures if you can.
Special dogs special people.

Hi Dan, Glad to meet you! I'm new too! What a great place to talk about our beautiful basenjis!
I read your story about Ringo's journey. It was very touching. I'm sure he's waiting for you at the bridge ready to get back on the trails.
