Thanks everyone (boy do I respond late, my apologies) - well, I have 2 basenjis now - Talon and Kasiya. I will share some pics soon!
Hi everyone
-
Yes, they are the best dogs, I agree hands down. Yes, they can destroy your things, especially before they know what Leave It means. Yes, I have lots of things my B destroyed, or should I say did have. haha!!! Yes, she is better now that's she is out of the puppy stage. Yes, we laugh at her every single day. Yes, I would buy her over and over again. Yes, I am glad she is in my life. YES!!!!! I LOVE BASENJIS!!!!!
-
By the way I saw pictures of your new addition. How addorable. It's hard to believe that they were ever that small!!! What a sweetheart!
-
Welcome…you've found the right place for information and fun, when it comes to Basenjis! Looking forward to the pictures!
-
Hello and welcome. Can't wait to see pics.
-
By the way our Trixie looks alot like your baby!!!
-
-
Welcome!! You're one of us & only we understand each other
Thats for sure. Everyone thinks we are nuts inculding out three kids. I guess Trixie has kind of become our baby since our kids our now 21, 18 and 17, but they love her to!!!
-
Can't wait to see pictures.. she sounds like a typical B….. also if you have not done so... visit www.basenji.org and www.basenjihealth.org great B information and health issues every Basenji owner should know about…

Welcome! Don't worry about the pet store purchase, I did the same thing and have learned. I am smarter now and help out with BRAT when I can and push adopting from a shelter or rescue to friends who are looking.
-
Thanks, we have now learned and have investigated several breeders (because crazy as I am I do want another) or maybe we can adopt. Trixie worries my though because she does seem to be very dominant!!! We'll see. For now we are just enjoying all of her antics!!!
-
Have you taken her to any obedience classes?
This can help you in so many ways.
YOU WIll probably not pass, re sit, stay, that type of thing, oh the folks that have b's do this will blast me for it, laugh but it will help her bond with you, see you as the leader and tire you both out.
Gentle and positive classes only.
They really do help.
Also, if you can get in touch with any clubs that do lure coursing, then that is way fun as well…the dogs love it and the come home so tired! -

If you get a puppy or a rescue, your best bet is a male.. opposites typically do well together.

But now that I have discovered this wonderful website I am considering signing her up!!! I think it would do us good!

That is not true, many Basenjis do quite well at Obedience. One of my pups has her obedience title and rally titles. And yes at first you might fail… but it is well worth the money, provided you have the right instructor. You need to make sure the instructor is familar with Basenjis and likes the breed along with making sure their training style is positive reinforcement
