  • Welcome to the forum and the world of basenji slaves! I was feeling bad about the weather here in WV, USA until I heard of how bad it is for some of you!:eek: I can't wait to see pictures of your little beasties!!!

  • Hello & welcome to the group. BTW - last couple of days -35C

  • Don't feel too bad, today as we are getting up to 20cm of the white stuff!!
    If I can figure out how to get a album going (have tried a number of time but it's not working) there will be pictures very soon

    Okay, Okay, you have us beat! But you always have us beat!! hahaha

    But you can keep it, I'll let you!

    By the way, are either of you people members of the BCOC? I'm looking for winter pics of our Basenjis for a contest.

  • No sorry, what kind of photos are you looking for??

  • Not a member - planning to be. Today -8c & no snowfall

  • I was looking for any winter photos from members. Playing in the snow, chasing in the snow, etc. You can always go to the BCOC website and apply, or I can send you an application and a free copy. We're always looking for new members. By the way, our BCOC Specialty is right after the Calgary Stampede this year. Hope some of you guys can make it! That's where you'll see quite a few Basenjis- not as many as the BCOA, but still, we try to get quite a few! Sally Wournos is judging this year.

    I would like the application, can I send you a private email with my mailing address? I have some photos on http://s548.photobucket.com/albums/ii350/gneigum/ if you could use.

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    I wouldn't recommend getting a basenji until you've organized your new schedule with baby. basenjis are wonderful dogs, but require a lot of attention and stimulation. If you can't provide that, he could become a frustrated dog and cause mischeif. I've also read that they aren't the best with children. I haven't had the best experience with my basenji and daughter. It has a lot to do with the fact that we can't give him sufficient attention and exercise like he needs. he also hasn't adjusted to my daughter's presence either. that may not be a problem for you because you're having baby first then dog. they say its always a plus because it allows the child to establish a dominence over the dog, since child was there first. i don't want to be a sour apple, but i just want to let families with children know that it can be difficult and dangerous if proper care isn't given. its also unfair to the precious breed if they cant have the active life they need and crave.
