Basenji Property Laws

Basenji Talk
  • I found this shirt today on Cafepress.com [who btw has an [B]amazing selection of basenji stuff to buy!!!] & just had to get it. I know my entire family is going to make fun of me for wearing it [They just do not understand the basenji…] but I just don't care! It was too funny & true to pass up. :)

    The words are kind of small but it says:

    Basenji Property Laws:
    1. If I like it, it's mine.
    2. If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
    3. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
    4. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
    5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours.
    6. If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
    7. If I saw it first, it's mine.
    8. If it's edible, it's mine.
    9. If you have something & put it down, it's mine.
    10. If I chew something up, all the pieces are mine.
    11. If I get tired of it, it's yours.
    12. If I want it back, it's mine.

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    Ya - I'm relatively new to basenjis too, but I'd learned real quick that the only things we can leave lay are the toys. My 2 coffee tables have scratches all over them & since we've brought our boy home, I've found a hole in my curtain, holes in my couch pillow, teething marks on my dining room chairs…I never knew how good my girl actually was until our little fella decided to show her up...

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
