I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.

…lol... my friend at work who is the "other dog person" recently joked that Miles was a bad boy for trying to nip my hubby after he tried to boot him from under the covers...
I can't help but laugh. If only he had ASKED him to get down...
"see like this, "Miles, can you get down please?" (Miles promptly jumps off our bed and goes in his)" -

We like Lisa a lot, she really cares about her dogs after she's placed them.

Check a few of the threads in the "Bash and Events" section. The events are usually held in MD, Carrol Co.. We had a Fun Match in June, I think there are some pics and accounts, and also some of Us met for a show and had a little cook out in June as well.
Also there will be a Lure Coursing event in Hanover Pa on Nov 24th and 25th. If you've never been to one of those they are very interesting and fun to watch. Release the Hounds!!!! Very cool. I will try to post times and location to that soon as well.
I will be posting the info on the Christmas party soon, where, what time….ect. It's just for fun and all about Basenji's!
-
Are our Basenjis allowed to attend the Christmas party, or is this a people only event? Also, I heard there was an auction last year, will there be one this year?
Thanks.
