  • Hi, I have been struggling to determine if our pound puppy is a basenji, and in trying to post my photos here, please let me know how, rather than an attachment. how do i get them into the message like everyone else has? thanks, debbi

  • Hi debbiesam, Welcome to Basenji Forums!

    We have corrected your thread in the "Show Off Your Dog" topic so the attched photos show up inside your posts.
    In future you can that yourself by licking on the "paperclip" icon when creating a new thread or editing your post.

    You can also find more info here: Picture Help: How to resize and add pictures to your post

    Hope this helps

  • Save your photo to a free site like Shutterfly. Open up the picture in Shutterfly, right click and select properties. Copy the link listed.

    Come back to the Basenji Forum, Create a message, select the icon in the new message above that looks like some mountains with a son.

    You will see a window open up that says Explorer user panel, put your copied link in there and hit ok, that will put your picture into your message.

    I just figured this out last night, there is a post from Admin that tells you how to do it but I am not computer savy so it took me a while to figure it out! LOL!

  • Debbi - Welcome to the Forum. It is a great place to learn about this amazing breed. I saw your little Miss Dixie in the Show Off thread. She looks very much Basenji - she is very cute.

  • Welcome to the forum. It's so much fun and lots of great information. She's just adorable!

    @tanza said in Benji the Basenji: It is important to know the health of the pup and/or their sire/dam Well said ! It may not seem important now - you can say you will never show or need to register your Basenji - but in a few year's time you may find you wish you had known the health test results of the parents. By constant checking and careful breeding, many lines have obviated the most devastating scourges, but they are still around. Better to know for sure if your puppy is tested and imperative to make certain his or her parents were.

    @allyn said in Basenji mix?: Meanwhile I know that like a Basenji, he should never be off leash, and we always need to make sure the gate is securely shut, I have had Basenjis for a long, long time now. I have always let them run off lead in the woods away from traffic. They have all been taught - and I have had up to eight at a time although am now down to one, soon to be two (!) - to return to me if I whistle. Basenjis CAN be taught to run free and to obey commands. Yes, gates should be kept shut, tightly, at all times. But away from traffic, they can be trained to behave and allowed to run free. I have bought a puppy sling for my new boy so I can take him to the woods with Hoover, and let him meet lots of people and thoroughly socialise until he has had his shots. I don't intend to deprive Hoover of her freedom just because of the puppy. He will learn to walk on a leash but mostly he'll be the hunter nature intended him to be.

    @krunzer: Keep them separate in their own crates. The older one may not want to put up with puppy play in a big crate. When crated mine are always separate unless they are at the kennel, then they are in the same pen because Becca is not fond of the kennel. PS, basenjis don't like being woken up much, and one dog annoying another who wants to stay asleep might result in a fracas in a confined space; never a good thing.

    @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 :)
