Greetings from Athena and her family

Member Introductions
  • Hello everyone! I just found the Basenji forums yesterday, and I am so happy I did!

    We have one basenji, Athena, and she is a joy. Also a mystery and a pain in rear, but that's how they are!

    ^–--That's Athena in my avatar. Wearing her pink sweater (my daughter chose it) and lounging in the garden window.

    We also have a Fox Terrier, and 2 elderly cats.

    I am looking forward to reading all the information, and learning more about our crazy, wonderful dogs.

  • Welcome. Post some more pics. We love pictures. Your Athena looks adorable. I love the sweater.

  • Hello and welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see more pics.

  • Welcome! This is a fun, informative site…She looks adorable in her pink sweater! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your "family". My grandparents had a male Toy Fox Terrier while I was growing up...his name was Tiger, which was very appropriate - LOL! But he loved me!!

  • Hi Melissa,

    Welcome! Who is Athena's breeder?

  • WElcome Melissa & Athena!!!

  • Thanks for the warm welcome all!

    Athena was bred by Katie Campbell of Taji. Her fancy name is Taji's Profitable Annuity. Her parents are Taji's Trinidad Tradewind (sire) and Taji's Go For Baroque (dam).

    She is a bit on the small side and has some gait issues (she lifts her front feet like a Lippizaner - we thinks it's cute), so she is a not a show dog. She is content to run the household from her little patch of sunshine!

    I will definitely post more pictures, as soon as I find the transfer cord for the camera….:)

    Yay! I thought that was the Athena that I know!! We have her sister, Bella (Ch Taji's Closing Bell at Quercus JC) she is in my avatar, and also in some pics in my member album…oh, and at my website if you want to see more of her :) I think we met at the Evergreen Basenji Club specialty the year the girls were puppies?

  • We did meet at the Basenji Specialty! Bella was so cute sitting on your lap. I know I have a picture of all 4 pups lined up somewhere from that event.

    I wondered if that was the Bella I knew! Good to 'meet' you again!

  • Welcome to both of you!

    @jeimygirl I have added him to the database and he will appear as soon as I finish playing catch-up with today's incoming litters. So you will be able to see his ancestors very soon ! It is very easy to add his registration number and change his name at need. Email me photos as he matures and get photos of Mom and Dad too if you can - they really bring the pedigrees to life.

    Welcome, and so glad to see you respect a dog enough to do some research before getting one. I LOVE that attitude! Stick around - there is tons of great info here and everyone cares about the breed SO much! :)

    What a sweet little boy–having a non-basenji sister/brother is great, it gives them a "positive role model"!

    Wow, that was pretty awesome of you to take care of the sick pup and bring her back to health! No, my cats are not sphynx. One is your typical house cat and the others are himalayans. We are praying that our next puppy is healthy and normal as we have not had much luck with dogs here lately.
