    Hello!
    My name is Megan, and my husband and I are thinking about getting a Basenji. We’ve done a lot of research on the breed and really love their characteristics. However, we have never met one in person.

    I’m wondering if anyone in the Twin Cities metro or surrounding area with a Basenji is open to meeting up with us. Whether it’s coffee, meeting up at a dog park, coming to you, whatever! We’d just love to meet a Basenji in person as well as talk with current owners about their experiences: the good, the bad, and the ugly. It would be really helpful and probably a smart idea before we commit to our own.

    We would also travel to the Duluth area. We are actually going to be there this coming weekend if that works for anyone as well.

    I really appreciate anyone’s help. Even if you’re further away, we’ll make it work! Or if you know anyone in the MN area, please pass this along.

    Thank you in advanced!
    Megan

    You might want to go to www.basenji.org and search for breeders in your area. If they are not close enough to visit, they may be able to connect you with people who they have placed puppies with.

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.
