My Basenji?

  • This is off the subject but I'm glad I'm not the only one with Picture issues.LOL

  • Good afternoon:

    Caia is about a year and a half old now. We have had her for a little more than six months. When I first saw Caia, I called the Forestry Service to see if there might be a place for her but a cross like that is unacceptable to any facility around here. The individual I spoke with told me to feed her until such time as she got killed either by a car, another coyote (if she is part) or someone shooting her. To this day I cannot wrap my mind around it being alright to leave such a sweet, beautiful little pup to die whether dog or coyote. Caia is learning to be a very good girl. It was hard at first because she chewed everything, (my coffee table leg, Shoes, hats, my husband's hearing aids) but we also learned to pick up our stuff and leave her chewies. She tends to "prance". Is that a Basenji trait or just her own? She loves to lay on the couch with me when we watch TV and also loves to pick on the other two "girls", my Beagle and my Shepherd. I am still working on getting pics uploaded. So sorry, I want you to really see what a beauty she is.

  • It was actually the vet tech wasn't the most brilliant thing on the planet… needless to say I found another vet the next week and they think she might have some bulldog in her... what a mix. I believe that she definitely could have some bulldog in her judging by the way she lays around the house.

    Hi there. I would do some DNA testing on him. However, if you go to the Colorado Basenji Rescue website, there is a mix at the bottom of the page. There appears to be some similarities. You could also email Peggy of CBR with your photos and ask her. She has been working with Basenji and Basenji mixes for a long, long time.

    HI, we don't have many breeders in New Zealand but luckily there was one that had a website which came up when I did a search on the web and was given information about more breeders here. If you do find a breeder please make sure they are a responsible breeder and do all the health testing etc. Lot's of info on this forum regarding this and maybe someone can help further. Good luck with your search. Jolanda and Kaiser

    He's a hungry dog today. Gave him 1/2 cup in the morning and just a few minutes ago. He had no problem eating. I'm much more happy that he's eating now. He likes his bone as well. Not too much into the Kong yet. I just wish he didn't cry in his crate when I put him in there. Feel bad for him but I know it just takes adjusting. He is perfectly fine when I return home after he's been in there awhile. It's just the initial time. To be honest though, this transition went far better than I expected. I was prepared for the worst. This little guy has done very well.

    I'm sorry for the loss of your dear Basenjis. Losing a pet is so difficult. I hope this site helps you through the transition. Welcome.

    i found the only thing that gets Sandies attention now days is a rolled news paper… i dont hit her with it, just the site of it and me slapping it against my legg, usually makes her stop what ever she is doing...usually its nothing major... chasing the cats...or if she just wont stop beating me up after we play...
