    Hi AJs Human, Vicki and Basenjimamma. Thank you for the welcome. A couple of years ago I was looking for a small dog to join me living in a townhouse complex. I was looking for something quiet, and happen to pass a local pet shop which was displaying these "barkless dogs". I thought that this would be the answer to my prayers. I contacted my owners corporation and sought permission to have a dog on site. They immediately refused saying that the dog would be a disruption to the peace and quiet of the complex. I took the matter to court and won. I have had basenjis for ten years with never a complaint. I know I am preaching to the converted, but they are such a wonderful breed. Mister Two Dicks (or Mister when my grandchildren are visiting) will play with me in the most roughest manner, however when my grandchildren are visiting, he is the most tenderest I have ever seen a dog.

    Take Care

    I have issues in general when it comes to adding photos on here, why I don't know, and it seems nobody can tell me why( I have some sort of protection code or something fancy like that..).
    No biggie, I simply use photobucket (free account) upload my pics on there and copy and paste the image code into my posts.
    Works great and is very easy..

    I am still laughing about Mister Two Dicks name..we have a friend who had a dog for many years (15+), his name was Pita= Pain in the Ass..which I thought was brilliant…until I heard of Mister Two Dicks..

    You have to resize them then, when you're posting a new thread, click on the little paperclip at the top of the text box. Browse for your photo, double click on it and then click on upload. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, depending on your connection speed.

    When resizing your photo, set it to height 480 pixels. That will make it the right size for this site. If you need a simple and quick photo editor, I use Photofiltre that I downloaded from Majorgeeks.com. It's free, user-friendly and takes very little computer space.

    Can't wait to see the pics!

    I simply put the setting to medium or large( works either way) when I upload the pics on photobucket and then they are ready to go.

    Pari1art - I'm a computer dork - I know nothing about posting photos, I'm still trying to figure out how to use my camera!

    I like that you went to court and won - great story.
    Basenjis are the best.

    Hi Saba,
    Thanks for the welcome. Mister Two Dicks comes from Sydney and Pepper comes from Queensland via Victoria. I picked up Pepper today and it is interesting to see the difference in size they are. Pepper is taller and longer. Had their first fight within 5 minutes of arrival. Teach me a lesson when giving them each a bone. LOL

    Sorry Saba,
    I think you were asking their pedigree names. I have always had rescue basenjis. I find that they fit my lifestyle. I generally don't have to teach them toilet training and by the time that I get them most of the kinks have been worked out of them. That saying, I cannot give you Pepper's pedigree name, as I am waiting on the paperwork. However, Mister Two Dicks is Zandeena All or Nothing.

    First off, Welcome to our site of valueable Basenji information. I have learned so much linking into this site, we have lots of laughs as well. My B, Sahara, crosses her legs all the time, she is such a showoff and often has the regal queen look. I love the look myself, they are such beautiful dogs I must say, not that I am partial or anything. Your Piper is so cute, welcome again.

    My EL D will nip "unprovoked" at the legs of any males that come near me – I think it's related to incidents with his previous owner. But also I've been noticing that these "attacks" are not always totally unprovoked. In some cases, he'll nip at my brother when he comes out of the dark guest bedroom or up from the dark basement and I think he doesn't like the surprise. He'll also nip if there's too many people crowded around me or him and so maybe he doesn't like feeling surrounded. Maybe there is something that is really setting off alarms with your beastie too. EL D hasn't been any problem when we're out on our walks - he'll even let the neighborhood kids come running up and pet him (I've told all the kids however that they have to let EL D smell them before they touch him and the kids all respect that so far). The problem might partly be a territorial thing.
