Hello and Baroos!

  • Hi everybody! My name is Kristen and I'm currently in central Florida. I have a nice menagerie around here, with my husband, basenji boy and three chinchillas.

    My basenji, Independent (Indie for short), just turned 6 yrs old and has been a part of our family for 2 years now. He was a rescue from a local shelter, and the reason that I became involved in Basenji Rescue and Transport. Working with some wonderful mentors, I am now a Purebred Placement Coordinator with BRAT and loving every minute of it! There's nothing like the feeling one gets when you make an actual difference for a dog needing aid.

    My chinchillas are Snickers (f), Chubby (m) and Chili (f), and all three are rescues as well. Indie gets along perfectly with them; he and Snickers spend lengths of time nosing each other through the chin cage's bars. :)

    I'll go post a picture or three in the picture bragging thread…and can't wait to see everyone else's pics as well!
    Kristen

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!
