Basenjis on Animal Planet

Basenji Talk
  • DukeD

    Last night, on "Animal Planet Hero: Phoenix", they rescued 6 Basenjis (Black/Whites, Red/Whites & Brindles) from a woman's home. Has anyone seen that episode? These B's were so sweet, ;) even though their lives hadn't been too good. They were living in filthy crates. They had urine burns on their feet, way long toe nails and got their 1st bath. The 2 Blk/Whts (looked like Duke) were showcased and featured their foster home owners. They said the reason they liked the Basenji was for the challenge and that they're unique. I was GLUED! See . . . Everything's coming up Basenji! I don't think I've ever seen them on TV before, until now. Glad these guys were rescued. :)

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    I think our Basenji is addicted to watching Animal Planet!

    Our dobes ignore the television, and so does Tilly mainly - unless she hears childrens voices - then she is over at it straight away. There was a popular yoghurt advert a few months ago featuring a young child talking - Tilly would wake up from a deep sleep and rush over to stand with her nose pressed against the screen! I dont tend to watch much TV, but Tilly likes to read books with me - well she sits beside me and pushes her head infront of whatever im reading to get attention. it usually works.
