    Hello,

    I am a proud basenji mom to two BRAT rescues. The ever adorable Kiya (in my avatar) and the obnoxious yet still lovable Sam. I'm fairly new to basenji ownership. My husband and I adopted Kiya last September. We were considering adding a 2nd basenji to our family in January when BRAT contacted us about needing a foster home for a young male. We ended up adopting that young guy and are now a 2 basenji (and 1 cat) household. We live in sunny Tolleson, Arizona and the B's approve of the dry, hot climate. I think they like it a lot more than the humans do.

    I remember doing many searches on the web looking for a basenji board so I'm very glad that there is one now. Thank you for all the effort in getting this off the ground.

    Karen

    @gretchen - You might want to reconsider if you can't find exactly what you are looking for... go for the younger adult... IMO...

    I'll chime in on the full vet work up and the seizure diary too. Our first Basenji had seizures his entire life - his first was at 6 weeks old. He lived to be 16 years old and was never on medication for the seizures. In fact, our vet told us, "The meds are actually more for the owner than the dog. They don't truly 'stop' the seizures. But the owner feels better." And the side effects of most of the commonly prescribed anti seizure meds can be pretty bad, especially if the dog is on them for a long time. Terry

    Thanks again for all of your advice. It is nice to know that I am not the only one who is dealing with such a strong willed animal. He is currently laying on the floor chewing on a nylabone as is my golden "Levi". I can't say it often enough "I LOVE NYLABONES!" Well, now he is in my lap chewing his nylabone because Levi thinks that if Taz is chewing on it, it has to be better than the one he has. LOL

    Thank you thank you for the great advice and direction toward OFFA! I actually researched that information somewhat before I went to visit, then asked to make sure what was on the site was true from Kyle and Steve's mouths! Everything checked out so far with them–no health issues whatsoever :) So exciting! Blah, this will be the longest 4 months of my life, methinks!
