Harrisburg show weekend

Basenji Talk

  • They look like they are having sooo much fun. I love the pic with their tongues hanging out. A good time was had by all, no doubt!!! Basenji Boy, why don't you move to TN and open a Basenji Park??? There are basenjis here, but they are few and far between!!

    We'll have to send you a starter kit Jenn..some Basenji Park signs, tee shirts, poop bags:D …....maybe, Basenji Park Nashville country style. :D


  • Cool! The 2nd video was like watching an orchestrated school of fish the way the all turned and ran forward at the same time. Which one was the ring leader? Nice to see so many at once. Thanks for sharing.

    One of the females….....go figure.:D :D :D

    It was cool the way they all seemed to move once one did. I wonder if they had been more familar with the yards would they all stick together like that. Seemed to do the safety in numbers thing to me.


  • Hey Basenji Boy!! A starter kit??? Wouldn't it be easier for ME if you just moved down here??? :D

    You'd have to send a University of Tennessee starter kit though… we're in Knoxville. GO VOLS!!! :p

    We need more Basenji Parks nationwide:D ….....weary travelers need a place to run their B's:)

    Basenji Park, Knoxville sounds pretty cool to me, get in on the ground floor...........yes Go VOLS!

    I'm thinking a Basenji Park Bed and Breakfest in New England. Basenji Park Tampa..... the possibilities are endless.

    Let's see, Poland, Vermont and Tennesee…..still need a deep south, Midwest, Rocky Mountian and West coast.(north and south).

    Kidding aside, a network of mutually agreed places to run a B doesn't sound all that bad.:D


  • That sounds like a great idea to me :D :D Now all us B parents can all go on road trips knowing that we have a Basenji Rest Stop to run our Bs and have some good 'ol 'senji talk :D :D :D


  • Might be the ONLY way for some of us to see more than one at a time!!! Wonder why I hear people say they know someone with Basenjis here in Knoxville, but yet you NEVER see them.?.? :confused:


  • @Duke:

    I am curious if anyone knows … In Africa how many B's is or was in a normal size pack?

    I found this, very interesting indeed Jill.

    Basenjis were everywhere. In an average native village of about 120 people, there would be about 50 Basenjis roaming loose on the farms of the village. An average farming/hunting family might have 8 to 12 Basenjis living with them in a small pack. Ann said there were never any serious fights. There was a fair amount of jostling and jockeying for rank, which was carried out by growling and stiff-legged dominance displays. A good deal of shoving and body-slamming occurred, but they mostly seemed to settle in to their places within the pack, which was usually headed by a strong, alpha male.

    Ann speculated that the lack of fighting may have been because they were all loose and were not crowding each other. Occasionally, a minor scrap would break out over food, with the tidbit usually being grabbed by a third Basenji who was not in the fray. Males mated with many females; there was no paired mating behavior.

    @Forever: Yes we talked to one of the Bs owners right before we left her name was Laura (Tammen's Basenjis) She helped me out alot talking to me about zoe i'm so glad I met her. There was a fuss after the showing that delayed the next breed (a whippet owner was very upset about that) we asked laura about it and she mentioned that about the behavior. Laura is very nice, has very nice Basenjis and is a good breeder….

    That was amazing…he was a gorgeous boy. I'm watching the breed selection video now and all those dogs are beautiful! Of all the B's in the breed video, number 9 (little girl) a tri beauty who stopped to scratch an itch during judging, number 16 (little girl) a black and white, and number 18 (little boy) a red and white are my favorites.They were all beautiful, but those really stuck in my mind. What I found so amusing is that number 9 the one that scratched her itch was the best of breed for our little angels. She did a wonderful job and showed beautifully. She was a great representative of this breed!

    Nice cold chocolate ice cream, you have the best excuse ever to indulge. Hope you feel better soon. We have always found boys to be sweeter, the girls are more pragmatic and practical (was that subtle enough?). Anne in Tampa
