  • He was dead asleep in this photo

  • I filled Lola's crate with stuffed animals today, hoping she'd do the same thing. No such luck.
    Very cute

  • Lol..Indi has always been wierd about his stuffed toys. When we first got him at 10 wks we would let him sleep in our bed alone when he was napping. After a few days of this he would take his stuffed animals and put them down for a nap. Bring them to our bed, put them down, cover them with the covers just like we did for him. It was funny for a while because until I figured it out I would walk by the bed and say "Huh… how did that get there" put it back in his crate and then a half hour later when I went back in the room there was the stuffed animal taking a nap again.

    Its good hes so cute

  • Great picture! I hope I am not being indiscreet but I live in France and cannot find crates as big as the one on your picture, are they easy to find where you live? Do you know if they can be ordered and sent to Europe? I must sound silly but I have spent a lot of time looking for a good crate for my basenji and haven't found one yet. Have asked in pet shops, they are horrified when I tell them it's for a dog!!!!!in other words…back to work soon and worried already about the dammages in my appartment when I'm not in!!!!!
    Sorry if this comment is not appropriate and indiscreet, it's not meant to be

    Hi Christiane,
    If you contact me privately (you can go to my profile and then to my website to find my email address) I can give you the name and email address of another Basenji owner/breeder in France. I think that maybe she might be able to help you out with your questions about crates.

  • Thanks a lot, I'll do that right now.

    Napping! That's what those stuffies are doing! I always thought they were playing dead, hoping their B master wouldn't tear them apart for their coveted squeaker organ! ;) :) ;) :)

  • Thats a great picture of Turin. I had to do a double take just to find the guy! He really hid himself well

  • very cute!

  • I love it! Classic B behavior! Makes me wanna rub his belly.

    @creambasenji Please start a new topic/thread in Member Introductions when you upload an image of your "cream" basenji. That way, more people will see it. (thanks!)

    I'm originally from California so that is where we got them. I will have to ask my mom if she knows anything about their breeding. They were both over a year old when they came to us. The male was an escaper. My parents had to add an extention on our 6 ft wall because he would jump it. Even then he found a way to get out. We couldnt figure it out for the longest time how he did it. He had found a window upstairs that didn't latch, he would nose it open get on the roof then jump to the wall and from the wall to the ground. The male in pic is prob just sniffing We were working on that bedroom so there were alot of new scents. I cant recall him ever barooing. The female though was very vocal. After talking to my mom, I don't have any more info. Both dogs were given up by their owners because they became to much for them to handle. Alphy the male was a handful being an escaper, Lady was a great counter surfer. Alphy liked all dogs and people. Lady only liked people. But other than that they were sweet and loving dogs.

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
