Member Introductions
  • I just wanted to introduce my self, I have posted on here but never really introduce my self. I have a 4 going on 5yr old male B(simba). He is an AKC Ch. but after finishing his championship he was neutered and is now just a beloved family member. I was wanting to see if there were anyother Basenji's on here located in michigan? :)

  • There are several! I used to be in Michigan, Ann Arbor area….

    paging Duke and Kelli.... :) (I know there are others as well!)

  • I am located in Okemos (just outside of Lansing). I have a 15 year old female (Zuki) and a 13 year old male (Zak). Where are you located?

  • Downriver area here! I have a few kids…Mojo (7), Cleo (6), Roxie (3), and Louie (3) who's in Florida. We do all kinds of stuff, you can check out my website for more details. Coming up we have some lure coursing in Manchester and weight pull in Leslie.

    I know a couple more of my kids in the area are on here.

    Who is Simba? Some of us here might know him. :)

  • I am located near Kalamazoo MI. Simba is from Tad Brooks of Meisterhaus Basenji's! Ch. Meisterhaus Unsensored!:)

  • I am not from MI but want to say welcome to you.

  • Ah yes, I know Simba! All his close cousins here say hello! :) Simba's dad is a littermate to Cleo's mom. And his grandpa on mom's side is Mojo's dad. lol We were just in Kzoo a couple weeks ago, might be going back in June. We'll have to get together sometime.

  • My Tayda is a Meisterhaus B too!

  • To Kiroja tell all of his cousin's he says hello!:) It would be great to get together some time. I am going to start some obedience classes with Simba next month. I would love to do lure coursing with him but i have no idea where to begin. If you have any info that could help i would greatly apprecitate it. And all your B's are beautiful!

  • Welcome to the forum!

  • Welcome from across our big pond.

  • Simba, we are having a lure coursing trial April 11 & 12 in Manchester. If you would like the info packet, you can go to my website and email me, I will forward you the flyer. They have practice on Saturday afternoon after the trial, if you would like to give it a try with Simba. This will probably be the closest lure event for you, unless a couple in Indiana might be slightly closer? Don't worry though, they will have another trial again in September if you can't come check this one out. The best thing to do is come and watch and ask around. It's not really one of those things you can study up or practice much at home. lol

    I am planning on going, but still have to figure things out at work. Events are always up in the air for me. lol Most likely I will go and try to leave asap and get back to work in the afternoon. Especially Saturday, at least Basenjis go first so I should be able to deal with work. I hope to stick around for a few minutes of practice depending on how things are moving along. I have some other kids of mine I am hoping will make it, so you won't be the only clueless one. :) Even if I won't be there for some reason, there are lots of nice people that will help show you the ropes so you and Simba can learn and give it a try. It's breathtaking watching the dogs fly across the field, and they sure do have the time of their life!

  • Hello & welcome from Canada. Nice to have you here

  • Kiroja- I sent you an email to get that info packet. If you didnt get it let me know. I am going to try to make to the trial april 11,12. Thanks for all your help.:)

  • Yep, got it. Looking forward to meeting you and Simba!

    If you click on the last icon with the arrow up icon, you can upload photos. They need to be in JPG format I think.

    He's a hungry dog today. Gave him 1/2 cup in the morning and just a few minutes ago. He had no problem eating. I'm much more happy that he's eating now. He likes his bone as well. Not too much into the Kong yet. I just wish he didn't cry in his crate when I put him in there. Feel bad for him but I know it just takes adjusting. He is perfectly fine when I return home after he's been in there awhile. It's just the initial time. To be honest though, this transition went far better than I expected. I was prepared for the worst. This little guy has done very well.

    @cmd: Our 12yr old Ramsey is from one of Linda's Basenji's and a very sweet guy. Have you tried Hacker's Basenji's? Ann is an active and very responsible breeder and she's near Danville. I can't say enough good things about her. We've had 2 of her dogs and both have had great temperaments. She's friends with a lot of other breeders in the area as well. If she doesn't have any available you could also try Select Basenji's near Dayton. I think she was co-breeding last year. We have a Select and she's a great little dog – a ball of energy though! I too was looking for a Basenji last year at this time. We lost our 14 yr old also year to date and felt a puppy would help everyone move on. Sort of became a mission. Puppies can be hard to come by this late, but we did find several. Nope, Tracy's breeding didn't take this year…but I think she is planning one for spring :)

    Although I have no words of advise I do want to commend you for trying your best to give Maddy Keller a chance to have a home. I wish you the best of luck in finding her a new home.
