Basenji Playdates East TN ???

Basenji Meetups & Events
  • I haven't posted much here for a while, but I am still looking for Basenji/Basenji mixes for playdates. I know there are some in Knoxville, where we are, but so far, no playdates have been arranged.

    My Basenji is mixed with Whippet, so she's fast and an avid HUNTER!!!

    Is there anyone in East TN with a Basenji/Basenji mix that would like to meet for playdates??

  • Liz's aunt lives in Knoxville so we may be up there sometimes….I'll have to beg and promise a variety of valuable services like dinner or laundry to convince Liz to bring the dogs, haha...and her aunt has cats, so could be interesting b/c in Zip's mind cat = bunny. But I would love to take them up to the Smokies sometime.

    Wife and I are empty nesters serious considering a Basenji as a companion pet. I've been searching for someone in Nashville area that might have one that we can observe. I saw your reply to a post on this forum. Please call me if you would allow us to visit your dog. Robert Beasley Nashville TN 615-943-6957

    Hi, Yes we have a 10 month old basenji in the South Philly area. Would love to see him running around with another basenji, but have yet to see one in the local dog parks. How old is your boy?

    Find a good positive reinforcement puppy class, like clicker training and you will both have fun. All of mine have earned at least a rally novice obedience title and love the training. There are some things that you should not expect of a basenji such as being outside off lead. They are sighthounds and must be on a lead or in a fenced area at all times. The biggest issue with a house with children is that the children must understand the door can never be left open. My inlaws have a terrible habit of wanting to stand in the doorway and talk as people leave. I have to shoo them outside so the dogs do not try to dart outside given the opportunity. We have had ten basenjis since our son was two, he is now 27 and the basenjis raised him.
