I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.
Hi everyone!

I just recently found this forum through friends and I thought I'd check it out immediately!
I'm Sofie and I live in Sweden just outside Stockholm. I have Basenjis and Pharaoh Hounds and together with my mom I breed mainly Pharaoh Hounds under the prefix Enigma. We have our first litter of Basenji right now!
We show a lot in conformation but we also do lure coursing and oval track racing.
I look forward to get to know you all!

Welcome to the forum! Your dogs (both breeds) are beautiful. Paris looks much like my Joey. Are Pharaoh much like basenjis in temperament?

Thanks!
Well the basenji and the Pharaoh are alike in many ways, but the Pharaohs does not have as much "temperament" as the basenjis does. Ususally they are a bit easier to raise also but they are bigger and they get stronger… I love both my breeds and they go great together!
