Member Introductions
  • Hi everyone!
    I wanted to introduce myself as a new member. My husband and I have a 12 year old female red and white Basenji. Her name is Sienna. Her health is excellent, but we wanted some information from other parents of "senior" dogs. I've read that the average life expectancy is 10-12yrs, but Sienna is so vibrant!! With the exception of a little bit of arthritis and a kidney stone removed two years ago, she is just great. If anyone has an older Basenji, Sienna and I would love to hear from you.

    Thanks!!!

  • Welcome abaker! This is a very good place for all Basenji info. Some here have or know of some B's that have lived 16+ years. I'm a new BASENJI-mix owner - emphasis on the B part of him, now 1 yr old. Please post some pictures. Have fun. :)

  • Welcome, I am new here also

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    @Scampy: Hello, everyone! I am so excited to have stumbled upon this forum! I belonged to Basenji Companions until last year, and I miss the community and advice. I have one basenji, a 10-year-old red & white male named Toby. I adopted him six years ago as a "golden opportunity" dog when his show/breeding days were over. He shares the house with three humans and a cat. (We may be inheriting another cat, but don't tell him…I'd sort of promised him a little sister.) Any other west Michigan folk out there? I was born in Kalamazoo! Welcome to the forum! Tabatha
