@julia87 How much do you know about Basenjis? Have you met any? It's highly recommended to learn as much as possible about them before making a decision to acquire one. This would be a good place to start.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Hello to you too.
Tell us more about yourself and your love for basenjis and their mysterious ways. -
Thanks you. For what it's worth my name is Jeff and my loved wife of 46 yrs is Donna . We lost our loved one 9/13/09 she was 16yrs and 7 mo. she was the love of our life, and we still miss her very much. We are in the process odopting a brat basenji His name is Ernie and he is from Michigan about a 30 min drive away. Ernie foster dad lives on a 80 acre farm with 5 other basenjis. Ernie is a very happy boy he is about 2 and 1/2 yrs old tri color. I have one question and I hope this is the place to ask, When we went to visit him we noticed he had a double coat , could anyone tell me if this is normal ? Thanks Jeff Toledo Ohio

Usually before they blow coat they will get what seems to be a double coat… under coat and top coat... I would however have his thyroid checked as if they have thyroid problems it can and does really effect the hair coat.

Good morning my wife and I returned form vac. Sat. We picked up Ernie yesterday. Ernie is all Basenji he is a 2.5 yr old tri. Ernie is very smart he sets stays rollover plays dead , and upon returning home we found out he loves too chase our two cats, not good. We will have to work on that behavior. I hope too have pictures soon not quite sure how to download yet .Once again thanks for all the welcome e-mails Jeff and Donna
