New buddy for the basenji's

Basenji Talk

  • After spending many months looking for a new elkhound pup to grow up with my two basenji's. My searches for a new pup went down more than a few roads that ended with no pup for one reason or another. That road took a new fork that lead me to rescue my new baby. He was puppy dumped at 5 weeks at our local kill shelter all of his litter were adopted but him. We have a no kill shelter about 5 miles away, he wasn't taken there. No one even looked at this little guy. He spent one month in the shelter and was scheduled to be killed if someone didn't come soon. After going everyday to the shelter for one week I finally got to meet him but had decided earlier in the week he would have his forever home. He is a 11 wk old aussie mix. New experience never owned anything but a "hound group" dog He is a great puppy truly just wants to please. I think he knows he was saved. When I brought him home he just looked at me as if to say thanks. He now loves life, has a big backyard to run, he never touched grass till two weeks ago. Basenji boy has no issues with him, but tri little girl feels her alpha spot might be threatened but she is so very wrong. Working thru that with her. Our new little guy is called Moby. I think God had a hand in keeping him safe till we found each other and he came HOME


  • Wow, that's great! Thanks for saving this little guy! And welcome Moby :)
    Now we need pics…

  • What a great story! and also from here, welcome Moby..

    I love to see pics!

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D

    Totally agree with Pat. I have two intact female B's. They are NOT the best of friends and have to be watched constantly. They are never alone together. Yes, they've gotten into knock-down drag-out fights. I've been in the ring with slit throats, chewed up ears, scabs, etc. Not a good idea at all. I can control it simply because I watch them constantly and when they start to show signs of aggression, one goes into the crate. But it's not easy, it's stressful on everyone, and I really don't recommend it.

    My parents have a mutt mix with bernese mountain dog. Every time I go to their house and let Medjai out in the back yard, he growls and snaps at him. Medjai quickly warms up and I would simply recommend that you get the dogs outside, on leash in the front yard to meet the B. It's part of the neutral ground thing. Medjai simply tries to take control right away.

    I don't have the flu but I am home from work today because I am going to get a shot in my foot to kill a nerve. I am nervous beyond words and Chase and Zahra have been cuddled up with me all morning which really has helped to keep me calm. I wonder if the podiatrist would mind them coming into the office with me for the shot? :D
