WOW! Do you use the basenjis to herd the sheep? I took my boys herding once; they really seemed to enjoy it.

Welcome and congratulations on keeping your sanity! LOL I have three B's and two others. While two are great, the third keeps you hopping!

Welcome, Patty - and to your NINE B's - I'll bet they keep you young! I'm much more active since I got my one basenji, who is only 4 months! I'm hoping to just survive her puppyhood - you must have scores of knowledge to share so it's great to see you have joined our forums! Got any pictures of your B's? Do Basenjis herd? My puppy just seems to want to chase and eat everything!

Hello Patty, and welcome. You must have been one of the very early UK people to get involved. A true font of knowledge for everyone here. 9 of the breed must keep you very young!:) Are they like a real pack?

Hello and Welcome to the forum!!

0 B's!! wow!!!!! I'm so jealous!

Admittedly Basenjis and sheep are a problem.
Thank you for such friendly welcomes.

I have had some Basenjis who I did eventually manage to 'train'!!? to be safe with sheep and could wander among them and occasionally help to herd, others (including my current pack are killers and can't be left to wander freely where the sheep are. We have a double gate system for visitors.

There was a time when I could have taken them all out for walks together but now I take them 3 at a time and my whole day is taken up with exercising dogs.

When I get the hang of my digital camera I'll post some piccies.

Nomrdggs - I'm not sure I have kept my sanity!!!!

Tanza - I have actually seen some of our original imports - and I have attempted to breed as close to the original type as I can. I bred my last litter 4 years ago.
