New here and waiting to recieve our first basenji


  • Hi my name is Melissa and my family and I have done so much research on basenjis and this moth decided to purchase a basenji puppy to become part of our family. We have already purchased him and are waiting for him to fly his way to us :) We are all very excited and cant wait for the day he arrives(hopefully soon). I think we are ready for him and hope Im not forgetting anything after all we want the best for our Guru. I look forward to being able to come here and ask all of you pros questions.

    Thank You :) I purchase Guru from Devils Peak Basenjis in Salem Oregon. He is 14 weeks old.

    Here is a photo I was sent of him:

    I cant wait to play with him. Isn't he adorable


  • oh my gosh, he IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!! you'll have to post many more pics, as he grows! congrats!


  • What a doll! You will find alot of great information here.


  • How cute!!! :D


  • I bet you can't wait….....good luck to you and congrats!

    Welcome to the forum, enjoy and keep the pics coming.:)


  • OMG! He is adorable! Congratulations. and welcome..you can really learn a lot from this forum. Have fun with him…he is a real cutie.


  • So sweet! One of the great attributes about the basenji breed is that they never really lose that angelic face, no matter what they have managed to get themselves into. I think it has to do with their ability to wrinkle their expressive brow. You know they have chewed up a mechanical pencil or found the lint from the dryer when they purposefully seek you out to lick your face. Watch out for that Guru. He is going to be a heart breaker!
    Best wishes,

    So true!! :) Congrats on getting your Guru. Glad you found this forum too. It will be very helpful to you and your family. Enjoy!


  • I am very excited for you guys, B's are the greatest dogs, they love to get in trouble and be cute doing it and I wouldn't trade mine for anything.


  • So cute little boy! Enjoy the forum and welcome!


  • Welcome to the forum. I think Guru is the cutest baby b I have seen. Ooooo, makes me want to get a second!!


  • That is great! We are also in the process of getting a B and we joined the forum yesterday. We are adopting an older B from BRAT. I think we all will find great help here! Good luck and look forward to seeing pics of your new baby.


  • Thank you everyone :) I lookforward to getting to know everyone :)

    Hi Anne - Thanks for checking in on us. Kona is settling in perfectly. She is so sweet and only causes trouble a couple times a day - mainly when my husband isn't home :) She traveled with us to Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando over the Thanksgiving weekend and handled it all very well. She even played beautifully with my nieces and nephew. We are so lucky to have found her and she is the perfect fit for us! We look forward to coming and meeting the other Tampa Basenjis. I am hoping to come to the park after the holidays once Kona is completely caught up on her shots - she goes for round 2 tonight. I will post some more pictures soon too! Lisa

    i found the only thing that gets Sandies attention now days is a rolled news paper… i dont hit her with it, just the site of it and me slapping it against my legg, usually makes her stop what ever she is doing...usually its nothing major... chasing the cats...or if she just wont stop beating me up after we play...
