    This is aimed at all the Scottish/North of England folks on here. I am thinking about organising an informal breed talk on the Basenji to help all of us relatively new basenji folk get a greater understanding of type etc. Lets face it apart from Basi and her mum we are all relative beginners with this breed. Irene Horner (Bokoto) has agreed to do an informal talk, so i just want to check interest and try to arrange a date possibly in November?

    Venue would likely be Lanark or Larkhall - less than an hour from Glasgow/Edinburgh/Stirling/Carlisle - so we can hopefully attract some folk from over the border too.

    Could any interested please pvt message me, with preferred times/dates i.e. would an evening during week be perferable to a saturday or sunday?

    cheers

    Any chance you guys could video tape it and post it on YouTube so that those of us in the US could see it after?

    Update on this. The original idea was to organise a couple of breed talks on various hounds - it looks like this is going to be the format (think it will be Basenji and Saluki) which will ensure we will get most people at it. It now also looks like it will be early next year - between Crufts and Hound Show of Scotland. I cant think of any basenji show that could clash with it - but if anyone does, let me know. I think it is still Irene Horner doing the talk - i will update with venue/dates etc as and when available.

    Renault1 - am not sure if it would be something we could video tape - the main thing at these talks is the they are kept informal and people dont feel scared to ask questions - I think knowing they were being filmed might make some people hold back and maybe not get as much out of the day as they should.

    That would certainly suit me better as will hopefully be back in Scotland then. Have seen a house that we are interested in, just have to hope it is still on the market around the 21st Oct as can't get back before then as going to Cyprus to see the in-laws:rolleyes:

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
