  • Hey, welcome to the basenji forum. I too am from the east coast, and I have one 10 month old girl named Sahara. She is the sweetest thing, I love this breed. They take some patience but they are well worth the effort, they give back soooooo much.

  • Welcome Mark. I am east coast too… Georgia.
    Where did you get your pup from?

    LOL get ready for a real ride! Have you ever owned a senji before?

  • Hi Mark and welcome to forums… congrats on ur new family member... hope to see ur lil bundle of fur soon...

  • thank you…....I will have pic,s soon.....I got her from Mata Hauri Basenjis.....She is a breeder here in NH......and thats a no on owning one before.....

  • welcome Mark

  • Welcome to the forum. I am an east coaster too, in Tennessee. I, like everyone else, am anxious to see pictures… post them soon.

  • Hi Mark and welcome. You will learn lots here! I have and it is my first time owning a basenji and dog!!!

  • Welcome! I bought Nala from Debbie Hauri too. She is our first as well! I'll be posting pictures too. Another Basenji in the snow (let's hope we get some soon!)

  • Nala..when did get yours… from Hauri...

  • Her DOB is 12/14/1998…we picked her up in early February 1999! She's a pretty little tri. I looked into breeders in the area and called Debbie. We arranged to meet at the dog show in Essex, VT in the summer of 1998 and gave her a deposit for a red & white female, but one of her dogs didn't take and she ended up with only red & white males and we really wanted a female. We're happy with her no matter what her color!
    You'll have fun with your pup in the snow...looking forward to seeing pictures!

  • Hi Sharon…..We got her this past tuesday.
    she was born 9/26/06.
    we have named her Cali...she is a bridle....I just have to figure on how to post pic's

    she had 3 females and 1 male.......2 red female and 1 male and female brindle....we took the female brindle.....they were all playful...Cali was shy at first..but warmed up quickly.....

  • What a great name! I know there is another on the forum as well…
    It was so hard to choose which puppy - they were all so darn cute! We chose Nala because she came up to us and the others were all playing with each other. We live in Huntington, VT and the 2 hours ride home with her is one of my fondest memories. We brought a fleece blanket and had some sherpa-type toys and she stayed on my lap and played and snuggled.
    Enjoy her puppyhood and get into a good obedience class right away. I neglected to do that and she's had some socialization issues,e speically on leash with other dogs. Others on the forum might want to give more advice as to how to choose a class or trainer...
    I finally posted some pictures...check under "Show off Your Dog" (or whatever it is exactly!) Just browse around the "help" section for assistance in posting pictures! If I can do it, anyone can!!

  • Hi Mark

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Welcome and congratulations! I have two BRATS myself, and a third basenji as well. So beware, they ARE like potato chips (You can't have just one) I love her name, she is gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about her Homecoming!

    Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases. ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies. Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller! Best of luck to you!

    @gneigum: Thank you for the compliments to my dogs. There is not much that I can share about them, as they have only been in our home about three months, although my wife & I agree that it seems like they've been here all their lives. We were blessed to become aquainted with Simone Gaudet - www.beaubri.com - who gave us the lead. The dogs names are Nathaniel (6 in Jan. 09)pedigree at http://www.beaubri.com/Nate.html & Callie (5 in Nov. 08)pedigree at http://www.terrarust.com/pedigree-callie.html. They are, for the most part, very well behaved, & have adjusted extremely well to our home. Callie is like a bossy sister to Nate, & lets him know when she is unhappy with his presence. She is also very protective of her new home & I have to work with her to curb some agression issues with some visitors. Aside from that, we are enjoying them very much. I would enjoy hearing about your B(s) also. G Nate is my girl, Ruby's (Ch. Eldorado 'n Akuaba's Bejeweled) sire. :)
