Yeah, after the first two, breed and group I was starting to think we had a chance, I thought , if he keeps this up…... But of course.. It was funny, he just would not stand still , I kept having to get up and do a turn and return to position and he would be ok and then just when the judge was passing by.... Again..... Of course it didn't help that it was on grass, and there were ants! They kept biting his legs and he kept jumping up and I had to take them off of him and move to avoid them... It was horrible. There are always ants Herr when its on grass!!!!
Harrisburg show weekend

Which one was the ring leader? Nice to see so many at once.
One of the females….....go figure.: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???
You'd have to send a University of Tennessee starter kit though… we're in Knoxville. GO VOLS!!! :p

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
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 -
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.?.?

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.
