Basenji meeting


  • Last saturday we (Tsjoe007, Buana and I) had arranged a basenji meeting. Of course.. it rained.. We doubted if we could really have a nice walk in the rain.. but after 'some' raindrops the sky cleared and we had a lovely walk in the forrest :) I have to compliment our four intact males, who got along very well!

    Here a 'small' selection of the photos BF took. Baby B is Bendji, Brindle boy is Chafuko, Buana is the one with the same collar as Chaf and Tillo is the one with the hound collar.


  • Fantastic pics Janneke, so nice to see them all getting on with each other:D


  • Wonderful pics!! The last one is fabulous. The shadow/light contrast and that precious face is just delightful. I keep going back to look again.


  • Great photos. It's always nice to see a group of basenjis having fun.


  • yaaaay very cool that you all got together. And yes what good boys for getting along. Great pics!


  • Ok, I want to come next time!! I mean, or you could all come to Switzerland. =)


  • Those are some great photos, thanks for sharing. It looks like everyone had a lot of fun!:D


  • Was that a pharoah hound in some of the photos?
    Cool breed.


  • Lovely action shots, its great they all got along so well, looks like they had fun.

    If you're still in Paris, we could meet in Belgium. :)
    or: 29 August there is a German speciality in Trechtingshausen, maybe that's an option? :D Basi will be there as well, her mom is the judge.

    Otherwise you have to come to the Netherlands… ;) :p :D

    No, it was a rescue dog from spain, a podengo x. She was sooo fast and the boys all loved her :D :D

    Bendji was so, so, sooooooo cute… I tried to steel him, but Walter was watching him too closely.. :(


  • I agree with Janneke, we had a WONDERFUL afternoon last Saturday ! It was our first meeting ever but it seemed to us that we knew each other already for a very long time ! :)
    So we agreed to organize these meetings more often in the near future with Janneke and her BF (the very talented photographer "Mr. J") ;), Kim and Kas, Nicole (my LW) and myself and maybe some other Basenji owners we know. As I read in this thread, Schouiffy also is interested in joining us ;) but then the question is : where shall we meet, in Holland, Belgium, France or Switzerland :D:D. BTW I looove those mountain walks so my choice is clear !
    Tribute to "Mr J": fantastic series, congrats !

  • Yeahhhh!!!

    I stole already some pis for my website Janneke :)

    We had a great time and doesn't matter were we come together the next time… We'll come!!!!!!!!!

    I'll post my pics as soon as possible (first put them on photobucket of course...)
    But.. They are not SO beautiful as this pics... :D


  • Awesome photos!! I love the one of the Basenji mid air!! :)

    Mixes are so hard to tell, one mixing of the same mix of dogs(say basenji/fox terrier) can give you different looking dogs to another litter mix of the same type of dogs, sometimes characteristics of one dog comes out more than the other. At the dog park people have the same mix but they look quite different, then if one dog is a mix itself it gets even harder. I just think mixes are so interesting and think it would be interesting to find out through the DNA test they have. I suppose in some cases it leads to better understanding of your dog and it's needs. She is a nice looking dog and special whatever she is. I have yet to get a yodel just for me, even the cats have gotten one so you are lucky if she gives them freely.

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.

    @sharronhurlbut: Neat action shots. Thanks for sharing…bet they were all tired when you got them home. Yes!! really tired!!!!!!!! They slept almost whole sunday too :D @Kananga: You know I had the same issue the other weekend at the dog park. Kananga was very anti-social and growling a tad. I realized it was because of motion-sickness from the long car ride (I found out on the ride back…. unfortunately). So it made sense he didn't want to play. He was feeling ill. Happy to see Chafuko and Buana having fun with the other basenjis. :D It's possible, we often drive very long distance, he never acts ill, but it's a good explanation for his act!!! Thanks!
  • Basenji or not??

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
