I GOT A NEW african import!!

Basenji Talk
  • A couple of months ago a man came into my office and saw my basenjis, he told me he imports stuff from africa and I asked him to get me an african basenji, well he did and 2 more are on their way!!!

    look at this, isnt he pretty?? :)

    :D :D :D :D :D

  • Love it :D I need some basenji stuff like that in my house…

    My OH imports motorbikes from Africa (he was raised in SA), i might try asking him to import me a basenji :D lol

  • Very nice Ibi_n_sane - you should try to get a lot of them and get a stand at Crufts next year - they would go like hotcakes.

  • thanks :) I am busy getting more of them for in my e-business, IF there is enough interest for them, as I also like it very much , I hope to put the webshop online next month. It is not easy to get those and the shipping is expensive and takes long from Africa, I have to find out exactly what they are going to cost and then find enough interests to buy them in advance so I can get my client to import more at once for me.

  • I love that, let us know when you have any for sale, as I would love to have one.

  • Yeah! You finally have them!!!

  • Cool!! Where in Africa did he find it?

  • Wow, it's lovely

  • When you have a bunch let us all know - you'll get lots of sales right here on the Forum, as I'm sure you know!

  • Those are to die for they are beautiful. We would love to have one who knows maybe two.
    They would fit right in with all the other stuff we have from other countries.
    We have Bossons from England, Wall Plates from Germany, Japanese silk dolls, Japanese silk wall hangs and mother of pearl plaques from Japan.
    This would be great they are so very nice please let all of know. Thank you.

  • wowww all these nice replies!! I will certainly try to get some more, also in different sizes ( this one is BIG ! ) and I was thinking, I personally would like to have 2, one left one right, they would look nice on the windowshelf or something ( is that a correct english word? )
    they are all hand carved so there will be differences in every one, when I know more on sizes, delivery time etc, prices I will put it on the forum in "classifieds" I only know that they will not be cheap, but well it is real african art from our african breed! when I know more I will put it on the forum and when there is still enough interest you can place pre-orders and I will make sure you get your order.or something like that. I that an idea for all the interests here? :confused::)

  • Can hardly wait to hear from you and again thank you. Here is a ha! Ha! who ever said a Basenji was cheap.

  • Ah-hahahahaha! You totally had me for a second there! I was expecting to see a live B when I scrolled down! :) That's a super cool carving - nice find!

    I would suggest waiting until you get the little guy. Indi didn't have a name for abut 2 days. We had all these names in mind and none of them fit. Thats my two cents anyway (oh ya and because we did that I have a cool costume for him on haloween but I don't think I am going to get any cooperation on his end)

    @Duke: LOL - Me neither! I have heard for years that Vermont is one of the best "must see" Fall color tour places. So, nala121498 . . . If not at your beautiful abode, somewhere that could accomodate many Basenji and their people?? :) Trip of lifetime for me anyway. I just loved the wonderful pics that BBoy posted. You are so gratious and kind to share the pics! Of course - we love pictures. Did I say pictures? :D Yes! Thanks! I'd love to have it here (DH, maybe not! I could send him on a trip for a few days - LOL!)! Anytime you'd like to plan a trip here, just let me know. :)

    how about their coats for camoflage…. I remember Beta who was a tri, laying in the sun near some florida pams and it was really sunny. One of those days when the leaves were bright but the shadows were really dark. I couldnt see her! She completely camoflaged into the scenery. I suppose the red basenjis can camoflage into a sandy setting?

    Thanks for your replies. I've started giving Sonia Glucosamine w/ MSM every day and we'll see how she does. I'll give you an update in about a month and let you know if it's helped or not.

    Hollie would simply chew up the plastic bottle to get to the treats. She has done this with EMPTY bottles. That's my B!
