I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.

Hi, I'm a proud(and poor) owner of 2 basenjis girls. Both came from the same litter from Australia. Both are 3 and the funny thing about them is Naomi is thin and GeeGee is fat (I know I'm being lame but the Basenjis I saw on the Net are pretty slim)

Welcome to the forums! We'd love to see some pics of your b's!

Welcom to the pack! We are addicted to pictures so when you get a chance please post a few. BTW, how did you manage to get Australian puppies into Singapore?

Could your heavy girl have a thyroid issue?

Welcome from me too! My dog is pretty fat but she also eats too much at times. Good luck .

Well, Gee Gee is 15kg while Naomi is 10Kg. GeeGee, I think is fat by nature because she was pretty chubby even as a pup. I imported them from a breeder in Australia and flew them over. I posted some pictures of them in the members' gallery. I try to downsize a photo which shows the contrast and post it there.
Cheers:D -
They look like they are perfectly matched - and neither one looks "fat".
