  • Hello an welcome to the forum, please grace us us with pictures

  • @Sibbas:

    Hi, I live in the UK and have owned Basenjis for 24 years. Used to be quite active in showing, and bred a few litters but no longer breed, and my youngest Basenji is 5 so not much showing now either.

    Hello fellow brit:D

    It's nice to see someone from the UK on here apart from myself.

    What is your affix?

  • Hi Seko
    My affix is Keriquel (which is a place in France, I understand!).
    Hi WBL
    I'm sorry to say I have no Basenji pics on this computer but I will sort that out.
    Hi Basi
    I know you! :)
    How are you doing?

  • Hi there I thought it was you;)

    I'm fine thanks.

    I take it you are no longer showing the Basenjis then?
    Are you still showing the Sibes?

    Jenny

  • I show Harvey (the 5 year old) very occasionally and try to to show the huskies a bit, but the cost of showing in the UK now has increased so much it's just not possible to show as much as I'd like. Pity, because I have quite a few young huskies who could do really well, including 2 with a CC.

  • @Sibbas:

    Hi Seko
    My affix is Keriquel (which is a place in France, I understand!).

    Yes, 2 villages in Brittany are called like that!

  • Welcome to the forum - tell us more about the beasties you still own. :)

  • @Rafismom:

    Thanks to the amazing Cheryl-Hanks mom and Kevin and Dr. Gonto we are on our way to trying everything known on Fanconi. All your posts meant the world to me! Rafi is not going to have an easy road-we caught it very late.

    Could I just ask - as I'm new to this forum but not to forums in general - why has this post and the one that follows it been made in my introduction thread? I really do think it belongs somewhere else. :confused:

  • It probably happened by accident. If a person is in a hurry and didn't notice that the first post in a thread has changed they could accidently post to the wrong thread. The Admin can probably fix it.

  • I moved the conversation to the right thread, it must have happened by accident.

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Getting a dog from a responsible breeder is definitely worth the wait and the work to find. At my vet's office we are "the good basenjis". My vet actually sees several basenjis in their practice and the only ones they look forward to seeing are mine. The reason, mine have never tried to bite them, nor are mine shy about being handled, they are healthy. My vet was really upset to have a new client bring in her 8 week old basenji fresh off the airplane, it was terrified of people and had slipping patellas. My mom's vet is considered "the" basenji vet in her area. The majority of his clients have dogs bought from the internet or a local BYB. He became "the" vet because so many of his basenji clients are being treated for a variety of hereditary diseases. He was absolutely shocked when she came in with hers for their first exam. First off, that she was able to provide him with OFA information for both of her dogs plus information on the health of their parents. Secondly, because they were both in really good condition, good muscle tone, no signs of the disorders he so commonly sees. I have much the same experience with dog trainers. There are certain issues that they get used to dealing with because the pups that come to them did not receive as much early socialization. They are pleasantly suprised to see well socialized puppies with good communication skills. So what I am trying to say is that good breeding shows.
