    Thanks for the warm welcome! I got ahold of the Wash DC basenji club and they do get2gethers at a local dog park every weekend. Turns out the ring leader is also the local contact for BRAT! We plan on taking our two "kids" down this weekend and join the party.

    But do let me know if you decide that you need a Podengo instead or to go with a basenji - happy to provide those as well!!! LOL

    @AJs:

    And everybody is right: "Basenji are like potato chips: It's hard to stop at just one." The only reason I did was because of space limitations.

    Cheers.

    I couldn't have said it better!

    Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy the friendly people and wonderful information and support from Basenji owners, as well as well-informed breeders and rescue people.

    Basenjis are great little travelers - yes, little dog with a big dog mind - very smart, and very adaptable. We took ours on a 3000 RV trip in August - she very quickly adapted to knowing when the rig stops, she does her business, and she slept on the couch for long stretches of driving, getting up and looking out the windows at everything when we drove through towns or cities or where there was anything interesting to look at. We also took our cat, and Shaye, the Basenji, learned very quickly not to invade her space. But read very well all the background you can on the breed - off-leash is never a good thing unless there's a fence! They are escape artists. We have two now, and are planning another trip the end of this month - we have no doubt it will be another good experience. Good luck on your search, I do recommend the Basenji for fun and travel.

    Mine had always love the RV.. it was their second home for show weekends, which was about every weekend… My Mickii's favorite thing was to steal the silverware out of the sink and hide it in the bed, my bed that is... nothing like climbing into your nice soft bed and sitting on a "FORK".... OR KNIFE!!!!!

    Yes, ma'am, space limitations.
    Since I am the only driver in this truck, it would be awkward to have two Basenji jockeying for position while I'm trying to conduct 80,000 pounds down a two-lane road.:p
    AJ is king of this castle. I doubt very much he would want to move over for someone else.
    Besides, I'm keeping the last little bit of space open for Melody if it turns out she needs it. AJ always did love her. He helped raise her.

    Cheers:)

    Hi Guys I have a foster right now that is just came available for adoption and looking for his new home. He is right around 9-10 months old. He is a active pup, loves people and would make a great traveling companion. He just loves to go places and be out and about with his "humans"

    You can check out his BRAT page here http://www.basenjirescue.org/DOGS/OK/OK-Teddy.asp

    If you click on the last icon with the arrow up icon, you can upload photos. They need to be in JPG format I think.

    @Janneke: This discussion isn't new.. Every now and again it comes up when new members are 'overwhelmed' by all the goodness of the oldies here ;) But I have to say.. It is better now than it has been.. (but I'm a very positive thinker ;)) So the discussions weren't for nothing :) I think there has to be a balance between sharing info and scaring people off.. You can't be 'only nice' when people are asking things, or planning things, with which other people don't agree. (like breeding without health testing.. or buying a pup when it's clear the breeder isn't ok..) Maybe the problem is, that everybody wants to say the same thing and it becomes a bit too much.. But that's a forum.. everybody is allowed to share it's opinion.. even if the one before him already said the same thing.. You should all visit the Dutch forums.. ggg.. we (cheeseheads) can be very direct.. so it's not always as nice and well said/written as it is here.. :D I agree, especially with…well, everything above. But in a way, it is kind of good for this topic to come every now and again, because it helps people like me try to really think through how something is going to sound to a newbie, rather than just saying what I think. People are never going to want to hear that they puppy they love (and rightfully so) wasn't exactly the bargain they had hoped for...but that doesn't mean we don't welcome everyone here. And it doesn't mean we should stop trying to educate people before they buy...for every one person that is sick of the message, there may be fifteen reading silently that are getting something from it. I am truly sorry when someone's feelings are hurt about their beloved pet by something they read here...but if another person is helped by the post, that is important too.

    Hello and welcome. Maggie looks basenji to me too. I agree with what someone else wrote about the "deer legs." She is gorgeous and very lucky to have you in her life.
