Member Introductions
  • Hi were Ed and Tammy from California. we just got our first basenji a few months ago, and are having a great time with him. He's a real handful but it's worth it, he's such a great dog. we look foward to being active members of the basenji forums. i've seen most of the pictures posted here, and i must say those are some cute dogs. we'll try to put some pictures of our dog puma up possibly this week. thank you! -eD and Tammy

  • Hi and welcome! I'm kind of new too and it's a lot of fun to see and "hear" about other Basenjis, etc. They are all so cute, aren't they? Congrats on the new pup and "enjoy the ride"…they are handfuls, but definitely worth it!

    Wonderful way to share your experiences and thoughts on a first year with basenji in your life.. I second the thoughs written by Andrew….health, temperament and having a breeder available 24/7 is key....

    @maxamali: Long story short I am electing to go without surgery and treat with anti-inflammatory medicine as well as a joint supplement. For a joint supplement, I can highly recommend (from personal experience with our previous Basenji, Maxx), Missing Link Plus. It's expensive at places like Petco and PetsMart, but you can find it much cheaper by doing an Internet search.

    Good job on both your parts! I'm glad you're finally making progress.

    Yep, we do agree on most things (bossy? or boss?)(both I think-it has something to do with me being a control freak-I like orderly fashion). True there are some dogs/bitches that will just not get along EVER. If I do leave with dogs that typically don't get along-grouch,snarl,sneer,etc.-I'm sorry-but they're separated. Either in separate rooms or crates. If you can't get along when I'm here, then chances are you won't when I'm not!! I did train other people and their dogs (notice I put people first) but as you say-meager. Now I just train my own, the occasional consult and focus on grooming, and the B's. I would love to make a living with just dogs, but, alas, that is really hard to do!
