Virginia and the Eagle Gang

Member Introductions
  • Hi everyone. My name is Virginia and I am owned by two lively Basenji's.
    The first is Gambit my BOY !! He is a tri and is 5 years old. He is from
    a breeder in Washington. And the love of my life.
    My second Basenji is Tipper she is a lovely red Brindle and she is also
    5 years old. She is my little Alpha dog and a real handful. :eek:
    We rescued her when she was 18 months old from a family who did
    not know much about Basenji's or just did not care. But she is in
    our home now and we love her a lot too. We have a few problems
    with her, every now and then but nothing that reading the BRAT
    cololum has not helped to cure. I also have a real great friend and mentor
    In Pocatello, Idaho , who has helped me immensely, with any and all questions when I needed it. I hope that everyone is as great on here.:)

  • Hi, I am in WA state.
    Are you as well?
    Who was the breeder you got your basenji from…maybe I know them.
    Welcome.
    I have 2 b's at my home as well, one brindle boy and one r/w girl.
    Aren't they just a joy...when they are good!

    He could be a rat terrier mix; but he’s handsome!

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.

    Welcome! I strongly agree that you should meet a B in person. They are very catlight in their movements, and Cyrus even grooms himself like a cat. Cyrus is very independent, but also very strong-willed. To further complicate matters, he is clever and good at gettting his own way. If you want a challenging yet loving breed, a B is a good choice. Once a B decides you are a worthwhile human being, they are very devoted but not in a needy way like some other breeds. Enjoy the forum!
