  • Great Job BDawg! It was so nice to see you and your lovely family again.

    Miles & Lexi looked great!:D

    The Party was fun, I hope we can get more folks to attend next year!

    I haven't even downloaded my pictures from yesterday…......I will post soon.

  • WAAAAAHHHHH…..I'm so BUMMED :( I couldn't make it! You guys look like you had SO much fun :) And I see Lexi & Miles were sporting their Xmas collars :D :D :D

    And was that sweet Lexi caught showing her teeth to another B???...or was she just sniffing LOL :D

  • Great photos…I wish I lived closer! Beautiful people with beautiful dogs!

    A Basenji and her rescue friends

    Red meets Tri

    Geez what a snooze fest!

    Smile!!!:) :)

  • Looks like fun! Glad you all enjoyed the season festivities - with all the little fur kids of course. Very nice photos - thanks for sharing.

    It sure would be wonderful to get-away sometime. Don't know when or how, but it would be great. Anyone sensing my envy? :o

  • Great pics! I especially love the one of Miles… bored, of course. ;) I told you he's always over everything!

  • Great pictures. I would love to see how my boys would do with other B's. I would especially like to know if the Tri Wyatt in the pictures is as silly as my Tri Wyatt?

  • Two tri's named Wyatt?! How cute!!

  • The gang in the picture "Basenji and rescue friends" where certainly entertaining but at the same time sad. One of the club members works for a Vet. Puppy mills bring in dogs for various reasons and sometimes after the Vet care is completed the Puppy mills figure they have too large of a bill and just don't come back to pick them up. This lady takes them in and she keeps them with her Basenji's.

    The Pug had both legs broken, and currently cannot use it's front legs, but somehow get's around…....it's a touch sad to watch. The little Chi wha wha, had a broken leg and was in a cast. Hopefully it will heal correctly and it can walk without problem.....they just don't know.

    Good to know there's folks that have a kind heart and are willing to take in such sad cases that no one else wants.

    My son and I couldn't help looking at them in there and comparing them to the toys on the Isle of misfit toys from the Christmas cartoon. They really where cute with they're basenji foster mom.

    I must agree that naive, first-time wanne-be owners need to do deep, extensive research. Basenjis are supremely unique and definitely not a good choice for a "beginner." I adopted an 18-month old 3/4 Basenji (other 1/4 is Min Pin, yet another quirky little breed, with some "bad" similarities to B's). I was somewhat familiar with B's, but not even a little bit of "enough!!" Gosh, Izzy-Bella was a piperoo!! A little 18 pound bundle of energy, destruction, and escapism. BUT, I have always loved bad boys (9 years working in a high school), so a little bad girl was a sort of delight. But, again, it takes many years before these dogs mellow out and mature and maximize their amazing intelligence. Izzy is SO SO smart: her early unbridled destructiveness has pretty much ended, and now, at ten years old, she amazes us every day with her intelligence, innate understanding, observational skills, language acumen, and comedic skills. And at ten years old, she acts like a three year old! I hope this means she will live forever. Once you have bonded with a Basenji, you are probably done and gone. But first-timers REALLY need to do their research and homework. Someone referred to entrusting their dog to a family member. I would entrust my B to nobody except a bona fide Vet hospital/kennel, with big-time fences and enclosures, B's are exceptional diggers-under-fences and escape artists. And a Number One cause of death for them is traffic. Their prey instinct sends them careening into traffic. Dumber than deer. But, bottom line: do your due diligence Basenji research, and understand early on that these dogs are singularly unique: indescribably destructive; escape artists; independent thinkers and behaviorists; smarter than you can even begin to imagine (I swear my Izzy understands everything I say and reads my mind!); and prepare to have lots of tissues on hand as auxiliary food, because apparently, Basenjis require wood pulp projects to prosper!! I don't get it.

    Good job to all the workers and planners - these things don't go on by magic but lots of hard work. I wish I could've been there but as we all know "life is what happens when we're making other plans." Congrats to all winners - and congrats to all who participated - after all you can't win if you don't play. Thanks for playing!
