Orlando! Basenjis in central fl

Basenji Meetups & Events
  • Mac Pack, I see here that everyone meets on Sunday at 11 am… which park? I'd love to show off my Lola... she is a showgirl after all.

    We were at Walsingham Park yesterday and there was a "little" dog and "large" dog fenced area. The little dog area was empty, and Lola told me that she WAS a large dog, lol...

    We were there for about an hour, and she outran all of those wimpy big dogs. She's still tuckered out! :)

  • Patty - we meet at West Park on Occident, just north of Hillsborough in Tampa. We get together in the large dog park, on the left side way down after you get through the gates. They do love to run with their own kind!

  • Google Hillsborough County Parks, West Park Dog Park, they have good directions!
    Some folks get there as early as 9:30 but we are slugs on Sunday morning and rarely get there before 11!

    We met at the pet expo, look forward to meeting Lola and seeing you again!

  • Poor Kismet still can't get Bear to play with her and kept making me get up when I was getting ready for bed (didn't know if her pacing my room was a potty call or not!). I'm thinking I may try to go to that new Winter Springs dog park later today if I'm not too tired to tire her out some. Anyone in Orlando interested in going? If not today maybe we can plan another outing.

  • Kismet visited Hound Ground Dog Park today. It took a lil bit for her to get accustomed to all the other doggies but after being mistaken for a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and some growling she was running along like she was part of a pack. I'll bring my camera next time and share some photos! :)

  • @MacPack:

    We are in Tampa, if you are ever over this way, a group of us meet up most every Sunday around 11 am. We had 18 basenjis there a couple of weeks ago, you are welcome to join us anytime. Sorry we aren't closer!

    I was 'surfing' to find out a local area where there are other B's. I live in Crystal River and would like to find out if you still meet on Sundays???:confused:

  • See my post above, a group of us meet every Sunday at West Park dog park in Tampa, we have been meeting every Sunday for 10 years, except in REALLY bad weather. Google Hillsborough County parks for directions. We only had 14 there today, I think it was 17 or 18 last Sunday. We don't e-mail each other about who is coming, we just go if we can, 10"30 till 11 and we often stay till after 2 pm.

  • Thanks, I will be there one day soon with Buddy! Do we bring his recent shot records? Some parks I visited in the past have requested them. Thanks!:)

  • Never mind, I got the info from the county gov website, hope to meet ya'll soon!

  • It'll be a lil while now til I can make it. Kismet caught kennel cough somewhere (vet says Petsmart, dog park or doggie daycare) :( Plus who knows when I'll get a day off on a Sunday at my new job. Hopefully she'll be better by next month and I can start bringing her out again. :)

    Found this thread and figured I would respond. I have an almost 1yr old Male (27 November) and would be interested in meeting up with other Basenji owners and their dogs. I live near Quantico and quite honestly don't see any other Basenjis ever. Will drive to most parks in the NOVA area.

    No I do not as I am in OH. I just monitor Craigslist when I have time and post the ads. I did not notice the ear tip missing. In cold weather climates, if a dog is outside in the cold, the ears can get messed up. We took in a rescue years ago that had this problem as it was somewhat neglected and left outside too long in the cold in OH. It seems like we used to have much colder winters back then. Jennifer

    I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you had responded. I thought I'd get an email. Zoey is definately NOT good off leash. It would be great to find a fenced area…I know there is a dog park (with a small dog area) near me, but I don't know how you feel about driving. (I've commuted for years, so I'm used to it). I could probably call Bear Mountian the park to see if they allow dogs. I'm working tomorrow, but I'll try to find out on Tuesday. Also, there is some sort of an event in Woodstock, NY (beautiful town), sponsored by the Rip Van Winkle Basenji Club. I am totally new to all of this stuff, so I'm not sure what goes on there, but here is a link....I thought you might be interested. If I'm not working I may go just to check it out. http://www.rvwbasenjiclub.org/June.24th.Match.html
