My 2 Basenji's

Show Off Your Dog
  • These are my 2 B's. The tri color is Danik and he is about 2 1/2 now. The red & white is Colton and he is 2. They are both males and that makes them quite a handful. I know I should have never gotten 2 males but I couldn't help myself. We drove to Kentucky after much dog breed research to pick up Danik from a breeder there. A few months later we were looking around at a Petland and spotted Colton. I know pet shops are full of sick, unhealthy dogs from puppy mills and that is exactly what Colton was. He was greatly under weight and sickly looking. Being that Basenjis are rare to come across and that he was so sick I couldn't help but buy him to save him from his fate at the pet shop. Anyway they are both typical Basenjis but I just can't help but love them!

  • They are cute… thanks for the pictures... you should consider getting DNA tests done for Fanconi... especially for the Petland pup.... and if the breeder of your other has not tested the sire and dam, then for him also... you can learn about Fanconi at www.basenjihealth.org and the DNA test available for Fanconi

    Yep, I spent about 3 days trying to come up with names, searching online and asking my parents and brother for names all we came up with was Olivia, so her final name will be either "One in a million" Olivia Palito or Olivia Palito "One in a million" (Olivia Palito is the portuguese name for Olive in Popeye[Palito means toothpick]) I have a few more photos of her but won't be uploading them today so maybe tomorrow I'll upload some !

    @TMartin: Looks like he did wonderful! In Loki's puppy class we did the same exercise, with the peanut, regular exercise balls, and barrels placed on their side and with something underneath while upright to make it wobbly. One of the pics I posted of Loki months ago is of him on the peanut. A regular exercise ball is more challenging as you first need to make sure you have a good hold on it and then gradually loosen your hold so it wobbles however much the dog can handle at the time. And of course it is far more unstable than the peanut. I haven't ordered the peanut yet, but now that you are talking about the regular exercise ball, I might go for that instead, because I can use it to stretch out my lower back.

    it's just spammers. if you see one you are supposed to flag it as spam so the moderators can deal with it. it's that exclamation point in the corner
