Potential Basenji slaves

Member Introductions
  • 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.

  • Space restrictions?? I know my b's are either on my lap, or on each other…that doesn't take much space at all...lol.

  • 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

    As mine age I try to keep a bit of weight on them because I know they may reach a stage when they just don't keep weight as the organs weaken.

    It sounds like a contact allergy to me. The dog's stomach is touching something it is allergic too. Like Ruth said, grass or weeds that may (or may not) have chemicals on them. The fabric of your couch or type of carpet you have Cleaning products used to clean carpets or floors Fabric softeners, dryer sheets, or laundry detergents used on the dog's bedding or other items the dog is frequently in contact with. Topical flea products used on the dog And the list goes on I do not trust a vet who wants to hand out drugs and medications without attempting to find out the cause of the medical problem. I would recommend going to a holistic vet that will help you get to the root of the problem.

    Thank you all for your comments, went away for a few days on a beach a few hours away from home, and took photos;will have to learn to put them on the forum now. By tomorrow, some of mon petit monstre sera sur le forum. She loved the beach and spent hours playing and looking at the sea. What energy!! I was exhausted but she kept going and then fall asleep suddenly, not wanting to leave the soft sand bed. A real pleasure to have so much space and time to play!
