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

    Admittedly Basenjis and sheep are a problem. Thank you for such friendly welcomes. I have had some Basenjis who I did eventually manage to 'train'!!? to be safe with sheep and could wander among them and occasionally help to herd, others (including my current pack are killers and can't be left to wander freely where the sheep are. We have a double gate system for visitors. There was a time when I could have taken them all out for walks together but now I take them 3 at a time and my whole day is taken up with exercising dogs. When I get the hang of my digital camera I'll post some piccies. Nomrdggs - I'm not sure I have kept my sanity!!!! Tanza - I have actually seen some of our original imports - and I have attempted to breed as close to the original type as I can. I bred my last litter 4 years ago.
