@scott-ry Wonderful that you're thinking of getting a Basenji and sounds like you're doing your research, too! Once he's a bit older and socialising we'd be happy to introduce him if you'd like to meet a Basenji before making a final decision :smiling_face:. We'll stay in touch through the forum.

@zande Hi Sally, what a lovely coincidence that you have one of Juno's brothers :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: Kito sounds like a sweet little guy! Is he the tri-colour? Glad to hear you were able to collect him ahead of your eye surgery and I hope he's settling in very well :heart_suit:

Hello from next door in Kent (Rochester). We have an 8 month old - Ellie. Hope Juno enjoys settling in.

@bjenkins33 No - Mku is a tri so I wanted a red/white. The tri has gone to a countryman of the breeders. Another red girl is in South London with someone who contacted me back last March.
Eye surgery went well, thanks - but now I can't wait to be able to get my eyes tested for proper glasses. I have been buying readers on the recommendation of @JENGOSMonkey - so far have 4 different ones - but although I can even see to drive in daylight now, my arms are not long enough to see anything close up. Which itself is a bit of an oxymoron ! Reading, cooking, eating, measuring out dog food, pouring a glass of wine, all take a different strength reading glasses !
Computer work isn't too bad, I can sit far enough away from the monitor and still just about reach the keyboard !

@zande I've looked into this, but it doesn't concern me too much. I'm not a professional. I don't make a living from my pictures. And, I don't plan to.
Basenji's are something I REALLY enjoy. Part of the enjoyment is sharing mine with other people. If a person wants to they can strip the photo of all EXIF data. There are tools all over to help do that. A person can also Watermark their photos, which serves as a reminder to people that the photo "may" be copyrighted. The most important protection is to the register the photo with the appropriate agency ensuring that it's copyrighted. In the US, a violation entitles the copyright owner something like $25,000 per instance, plus attorney fees.
There's a lot of things in life that concern me. This just isn't one of them. But, I understand not everyone feels that way and that's perfectly ok too.

putting pictures on the Forum means you lose the copyright. I can't afford that. No pictures of Kito OR Mku !!
But you could put pictures on a site like Overdrive, or DropBox, or Google Drive. Then just give us a link and we can look and ooo and ahhh (without surrendering the copyright).

Based on what the boss, Alex, said in this post, the copyright issue is addressed in the rules primarily because of the way data is freely distributed online. When you post a picture here (or anywhere else online), there is no way to predict where that picture will turn up, who will use it, or what it would be used for.
Case in point: How many times have we seen a puppy photo on a "less reputable" breeders website, followed with remarks on the forum that dispute the ownership of said puppy?

@elbrant I guess we just stop posting pictures then.

@zande - It is a personal decision... I have found my pics that were many years ago on other websites... What I really am worried about and seen, especially now is scammers stealing pictures and trying to scam people for puppies.....

@jengosmonkey - None of us are posting pictures for "a living", but to have people "steal" those pics for their own uses is not responsible and especially this past year there has been many scam sites that have stolen pictures of pups for sale that are pictures of pups that were \are clearly not from the scammer posting pups showing up on a scam website. So I just don't and have not for many years posted pictures here... I am more than happy to send a private message if there is something they would like to see or visit my website
