I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.
Hello from florida

Just wanted to say hello to all. I am new to the basenji "lifestyle" and look forward to leaning on the knowledge of the experienced owners. My B's name is chili, we call him chili dog, he is a male estimated by the vet to be no more than a year old.
He came to us from a friend who found him in a pretty desparate situation of life and death, he was found in the inter-coastal waterway here in florida with bloody paws from scratching at and trying to get up a sea wall(vet checked him out and he is very healthy).
So far he has been a great addition to our family, especially to my min-pin who lost his brother and play-mate this past year. I look forward to learning a lot and any hints are always welcome. Thanks for having us -
Thank You for giving the Basenji a home. Welcome, hope the forum helps you with your new found friend! Pictures when you can…......enjoy!

How wonderful that chili dog was saved by you and your friend. I know you will see to it now that he knows he has won the "basenji lottery" and will have the pampered basenji life he deserves!

Welcome to the pack and kudos for rescuing Chili !
You'll find it fun (both the forum and raising a beastie). -
Welcome!!! Please send up some warmth to the Northeast
My Bs neeeeeed some heat!! :eek: -
I have had him for 4 days, as soon as he feels better from his neutering I will definitely post some pics, I hope I'm in the right forum, based on my vets knowledge she is the one that says he is a b, except his ears dont stand up, maybe they will as he gets older. He sure does act like one, from what I've read. And yes I'm near tampa, in land o lakes.

Basenji ears come up when they are six weeks old.. so if your boy has floppy ears, likely a mix… but you are still welcome here... so hurry up and post some pictures!!!!:D
