I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.
I recently "married" a Basenji!

"Enchanting", yes, excellent decription. They just get in your heart and you're done. Despite of, or because of, their quirks/behaviors we just love them.

Great pictures Sadie, thanks for sharing. Haley is adorable..
on a side note, Otis will cross his paws too and he loves to lay down on the edge of the bed/couch like that with paws hanging over the edge.. -
What cute pics!!! Looks like you two are forming quite the pack.
-
Welcome to the forum Sadie, thanks for sharing those pics, the wedding one is lovely with all your boys
Love the Halloween pic of Haley, she's so pretty. -
Thanks, Shelley! Got the little girl dress at Goodwill Thrift Store for CHEAP and 'fixed' it!
When the trick-or-treaters came to the door on Halloween, I'd hold a dog treat up in the air and Haley would "dance" for them. It was so fun! -
Haley is so pretty and pictures are great. I like your wedding picture very nice handsome bunch of boy's.

Ahh!!! I LOVE HER!! She is SOOOO cute!!
You said she was 8, right?? That's about the same age as my little princess, Lexi– who also likes to dress up. I wonder if they are long lost sisters!! Where is yours from? -
She's from here in Arizona…...born 12/6/2000. Isn't it funny how they don't mind being dressed up? My 2 sons, who are now in their 20's, are darn glad I have someone else to dress up these days! And they wouldn't mind it if I made her take dance lessons, too!!!! ha ha ha ha ..........(I only made the oldest take dance lessons.....and it was when he was very young and only until he broke it to me that he'd rather take wrestling!!!) ANYWAY, Lexi and Haley probably ARE related somewhere up the line! They are both awfully beautiful..........if we do say so ourselves!!
