He was a terror from day 1
We have an old Rescue dog if he would be on the couch Joey would walk up and just look at him until he would jump down it was hilarious.
Nothing was safe on the counter unless it was in the middle. He would swing his paw up and swipe stuff right off.
But he was a real affectionate boy as well
I sure miss him 🙁

Hi, I am paul from Michigan. I previously owned/Grew up with a Besenji and am thinking about getting another for my boys to grow up with. I have been doing a lot of resaerch and have been surprised to find out that the dog I grew up with "Seems" to be "Saint Basenji". She was never crated or Leashed, she had free roam of the house while we were at school and she never tried to run away. Is this really that unusual?????????

Welcome to the Forum Paul.
If I've learned anything having multiple Basenjis, It's that they're all a little different. You may have had a very well adjusted Basenji and you did everything right.I have a couple that I could trust fully with almost anything, and others that need a watchful eye.
Good luck in your search for another.

Welcome to the forums! My neighbor down the street has English cockers who are show dogs and do agility. There is an empty lot next to their wooden fenced-in yard, and Senji always wants to go over there to torment them.
Once those dogs start barking there's no stopping them! The owner gets SO mad at him for stirring up her dogs and yells at us for walking past her house. She's such a grouch! Even if I walk on the other side of the street, those dogs start barking…and I hear that woman saying "that #$%* basenji!" -
Hey, It is not your fault she has yappy dogs, ours do not yap and the road is free, what does she think, that she owns the neighborhood. Some people, my sister's neighbor across the street wants her to get rid of her cats. She claims that they dig in her yard, gosh, all the cats in the neighborhood are roamers. She had the gaul to send the animal control to my sister's house twice, can you believe it. Some people have nothing else to do but complain.

Jennifer. Wow, I didn't know another Basenji lived so close to me. I would love a playdate. Maybe Sat or Sun. depending on the weather. Sat might be out I just became a Great-Aunt and might have to travel to Niles, OH to see the new baby in the family. My boy is 6yrs old and is getting cabin fever. My girl is 9yrs old she doesn't "play" but loves to walk around and see/sniff new things.

Hello and welcome GenJMar,
From your description my DH and I were wondering if you are the person that fostered our Bella (we got her at the beginning of August) through BRAT. Hope you enjoy the forum as much as we do.
-
Yes, I am the one who fostered Bella. How is she and your other Basenji boy doing. I would love to see some pics. I recently fostered a 11 month old tri boy named Kenya and he was adopted by my co-worker right before thanksgiving. Kenya now lives on a 20 acre horse farm with 3 other dogs and lots of horses. My co-worker had never had a basenji so its been a real experiance for her. She always telling stories about it. I love to hear her stories about how he ends up in bed with her and her husband. She has awakened in the morning with everything from a paw in her mouth to his butt on her pillow.

We thought that was you! Small b world :)! Bella is doing great. She is our cuddler and barooer. We have added a third b since Bella,,,,a red and white boy we got through BRAT as well,,,,he has a few issues but is adjusting well and working through them,,,,,,,no more though or my hubby will kill me. Bella is definately the boss of the three. She rough houses with the boys like a champ but will let them know when she has had enough. Im sure we will be "seeing" each other a lot on here. Oh,,,,btw,,,,,we havent figured out how to post pics on the threads but we do have one on our profile of the three "kids" if you want to check it out. Talk to you soon.
