  • Welcome Ann and Noel, he's gorgeous :)

  • He's beautiful! I just rescued my first basenji a couple of months ago. But I have been a basenji owner for over 17 years. Do love the unique breed! It just gets better…..

  • Welcome to the forum Ann! He's very handsome! He's got that too smart for his own good expression, hehe.

    Edit. SHE is very pretty. Whoops.

  • Thanks for the welcomes. It's fabulous to see your replies from around the world.

    And I must agree with you. Noel is gorgeous! We hadn't thought about getting a B&W until we met her…Oh, Noel's a she not a he. Accent on the second syllable. She was born in November, so I bet her original family named her with the Christmas season in mind.

    I will tell the "expensive" story eventually. It may require a couple glasses of wine first, and I'll have to find the proper forum category. Is there one for stupid human behavior?

    That would probably best go into "Basenji Story Swap".

  • What a pretty girl. And I predict it won't be long before you have 2 basenjis.

    Hmmm… stupid human behavior... that would cover about all of us on this forum.... gggg

    Probably post it in "Story Swap"…now we have to hear it with a lead-up like that! Ha, ha. :D

  • Hey Ann. I am with you. I didn't know a thing about basenjis either. I got mine from the shelter and didn't even know what I had until the vet told me. Then I was like.. a bas-who-da-waht???? Now, I'm like proud to tell anyone on the street…he's a basenji...yep. And we should all have badges for the love we put into these strange and fabulous little friends.

  • I will take the badge but all the love they give us back and the stories they give us from everyday life will work for my badge. Candiejohn looks like you ready for lots of fun.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    Or it would be more expensive through him because he'd need to mark up for his - or his staff's - time to coordinate. Makes sense - smart to just do it on your own. Both our pups were rescues, but in Bongo's case he was from a shelter so we have no info at all on his pedigree and we were able to register for the test. They don't always operate really quickly, though. Congrats on your beautiful girl! Enjoy!

    He's a hungry dog today. Gave him 1/2 cup in the morning and just a few minutes ago. He had no problem eating. I'm much more happy that he's eating now. He likes his bone as well. Not too much into the Kong yet. I just wish he didn't cry in his crate when I put him in there. Feel bad for him but I know it just takes adjusting. He is perfectly fine when I return home after he's been in there awhile. It's just the initial time. To be honest though, this transition went far better than I expected. I was prepared for the worst. This little guy has done very well.
