I'm new…almost

Member Introductions
  • I want to formally introduce myself and say hello, my name is Wayne. I have already posted a thread about aggressive behavior in my 13 year old male toward a 15 week old male.

    My partner and I have had two of the best Basenji dogs. They did not chew, were house broken when they came from the breeders and were very easy to live with. The female was 13 and a half and passed away three weeks ago of a kidney disease :(. The male is 6 months younger and for the most part a real sweet heart. He has never shown aggression to any human and is very obedient, but does have issues with other dogs and recently with our new puppy.

    We are interested in coursing and agility routines and hope to become active in those sports.

    To all of you that have already responded to my original thread, THANKS…

  • Where in California are you? and if you don't mind sharing who did your pup come from?

  • We live in Santa Ana and Alzaer came from SunDiata Basenjis in Arizona.

  • Welcome to the forum!
    We lived in the Inland Empire area til May of last year and I attended just 2 lure coursing events out there. They were with the Inland Wilderness Hunt Club. Googling that club would be a good place to start getting involved in coursing.

    Do you know if your female had Fanconi??

    Our young boy also came from Arizona…we had a similar long car ride to go get him. I have never seen so many windmills in my life as there were on that drive!

  • My mom does coursing and racing in Southern California. I know there is some racing at the end of May not sure about events sooner than that though.

  • Welcome to our pack - sorry about the loss of your female

  • Welcome to the forum! :)

    Welcome to the forum!

    Do you know if your female had Fanconi??

    Thanks for the information. Skylar was her name and she did not have fanconi. We do not know what caused the infection, but she lived for three and one half years after her diagnosis. The vet originally stated about 6 months, but we treated her with a blood pressure medication, 81mg asprin and later on malox. She was active and spry right up to the last 3 - 4 weeks. We do as everyone should, check our dogs with the strip test.

    Also thanks for the welcome…:)

    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!

    I am a new and somewhat infrequent member but when I first joined, my elderly Basenji girl just started having seizures. I had moved to East of Nowhere and had no one to turn to and I am now SO LOYAL to this group and all the support and advice they gave me as a result. The good news is that Zeenie is doing well and her condition is under control: she is able to continue bossing her 3 other pack-mates as a result. I just kept searching for the right answer, very encouraged by the group I met online here. Thank you to everyone who assisted us. XOXO, Lauma and Zeenie PS: My brother Shaman is a new member of this forum (he just adopted Henry two weeks ago) and the boys are getting along well… Thank you for your support of them also!

    @youngandtired: Hi! Welcome to the Basenji Forum, this is a great place for chatting about our furbabies, and getting information. So, your baby is 4, please tell me that they will stop chewing, and surfing the tables. My Sahara, would be just great if she didn't do this. I love her just the same, but I have lost things I can't get back that she has chewed. My Basenjis right now range in age from 12 1/2 to 15 3/4…. :p They still surf, however they have pretty much stopped chewing... :D But that is just cause they are old.... and the teeth are not as great!
