Hello from South Africa

Member Introductions
  • Hi all,

    My name is Danni and my husband and I are from Cape Town, South Africa.

    We have been carefully considering getting a Basenji for about 2 years now, learning all we could about the breed, the history and the antics that they bring into their homes :)

    Throughout our research, we have found that there are no KUSA (Kennel Union of South Africa) registered breeders for Basenji at all, and none that we have found in North, West or East Africa either.

    I've joined this forum to ensure that when we do get our puppy next year, that we have a good place to ask advice, share stories and generally have a Basenji mad community to relate too!

  • Please see my previous message and also my response to your direct email to me about this.

    Aggression is an all encompassing term. As pointed out above, there is quite a range! It is not unusual for Basenjis to be dog aggressive. Mine is, and I just avoid other dogs because I know his intentions are not good. Some are same sex aggressive and fine with members of the opposite sex, and some may just be making a statement when they are leashed. If you describe what you are seeing more specifically I am sure lots of people will have common experiences and possible training fixes to share. I would love to see some pictures of Tucker, and welcome to the forum!

    Bungwa has a very dry mouth and I only managed to get a very tiny white patch on the test card but it was still sufficient to do the test with that. It only turns white when it's dry - the instructions are quite explicit. Of course as Pat says it could be a bad test form.

    I agree with the others that this is not a common practice among BCOA breeders. I am sorry that this happened to you and yes, you should get your deposit back.
