Member Introductions
  • 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!

  • Advice please if a Basenji might be a good match.

    It’s been a while! Lexie is almost 6 m.o and 50+ pounds, doing great so far. Potty/leash/ crate training. Cats are adjusting well!)

    @ChristyRutherford: When I went to Thailand, the dogs there looked very basenji like. It was hard to see them in the shape they were. Definitly not spoiled as dogs are here. Very thin and most had mange. They are wild there, and you dont pet them, they just kinda run around like squirrles or raccoons. It was very hard for me to see them. I took some pictures, of the healthier ones. I will try and find them. They tended to stay at the temples "temple dogs" because the Monks would care, somewhat, for them. The ones running in towns and villages were much worse looking, some. I would have taken them all home. Goes to show what how different people (not just "us/them) but all of us are different form each other. The guide and I had a wonderful time comparing and contrasting our cultures. I let her know how I treat my dog, and although she said it was nice and she liked dogs, I knew she thought I was crazy. I know what you mean. I was in there a couple of summers ago. Some of the dogs at the temple had mange so bad that they were missing a good portion of their fur not mention the number of dogs wondering around with limps and crooked limbs from being hit by bikes and cars. Funny story…before I went with UT the students from the University there came and two of them stayed with my parents. I brought them over to my apartment to hang out one evening and they went wild for Manning. I mean they took picture after picture and didn't want to put him down. Poor Rascal, my mutt, was sitting there like "hey what about me?" Finally, they explained how the King in Thailand has basenjis and has made them very popular. They were even wearing polo shirts with little stitched pictures of the King's dog on them. Here is a link about the King's dog Tongdaeng, a basenji mix. There is a great book called The Story of Tongdaeng. Inside the book are pictures of the king surrounded by Tongdaeng and his other basenjis. Here is a link that tells some of the story. http://www.bangkokpost.com/60yrsthrone/litterary/index.html I have to say…the Thai monarchy has gained my respect!:D

    It was actually the vet tech wasn't the most brilliant thing on the planet… needless to say I found another vet the next week and they think she might have some bulldog in her... what a mix. I believe that she definitely could have some bulldog in her judging by the way she lays around the house.
