  • Hey Everyone,

    My name is Michelle and I'm so excited to have come across this forum! I live in Michigan and am the human slave to 2 little basenjis. One is Tayda (short for Potato) , a female red and white that I got a year and a half ago from a breeder in Kentucky. And the other is Lenny (named after the character from John Steinbecks Of Mice and Men), a male brindle I got from a breeder here in Michigan about 9 months ago.

    More about Tayda and Lenny and a photo in the show off your dog forum.

  • Welcome aboard :) , you have really nice looking basenjis there :cool:

  • Hi Michelle - Welcome to this forum and enjoy. I am also in Michigan - Livonia. I think I met your Howell breeder at the Pet Expo in November. She had a pack of Basenjis with her. That was the first time I saw another Basenji in person. My Basenji Duke was found abandoned last March - so I brought him home. He was about 12 weeks old at the time. Found out his breed when he was 6 mos. old. He is very much like having a small child at home - Our home is Basenji proofed at best. Lenny seems like a handful as well. Your B's are also beautiful.

  • Welcome and very cute pics! Must be Meisterhaus and Kiroja basenjis?

  • Hey Quercus - Yup thats right! one from Meisterhaus and the other from Kelli!

    And Duke - That was in fact Kelli, Lenny's breeder in Howell that was at the Pet Expo… She has a nice pack of dogs... just had new puppies too!

  • Welcome! I'm sure you wil enjoy all this forum has to offer…I know I do!

    @edo_a my email address is in the websites in my signature block. Please send me a .jpg and I will add it. I hope some of the siblings will be registered and that I can add them. But it is important they be tested for PRA too. So if you can make contact with any of them, it would be helpful to suggest it to them

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!

    I live near the mountains in Colorado. There are some great trails with open space all around to let thme run around. Gosh I'm so jealous!! We don't have any plasce we could let our pooches loose. I would love a big open space sans any basenji prey :) that way they'll come back
