Three B's in PA

Member Introductions
  • Hi. Allow me to introduce my dogs and myself to you.
    My name is Maureen and I live outside Philadelphia with three Basenjis. There names and ages are Leo, 4, Jack,3, and Stella,1.5 years old.
    Obviously, I love the breed. I had my first basenji about 17 years ago, and now am seeking a home with a yard. I must walk them minimum of one-two hours every day and its getting old.

    So, I hope to find a yard for my dogs within the next 6 months.
    I look forward to reading your stories and hope to contribute soon to this forum.:rolleyes:

  • Welcome… hope you find your dream home soon.... Who did you get your Basenjis from? Many of us are related by our Basenjis

  • Welcome Maureen and lovely pack, nice to have you onboard. I wish you luck in your house hunt, may it be swift and painless..

  • Welcome, Maureen and pack! I have three also, but much older…10, 12 and 14.
    I love having three, it is just the right number for us. Hope you find a yard soon, but you may still have to walk them often to keep the energy used up!

  • Welcome to the forum! I have a yard and still walk em 1-1/2 hours a day.:D Anyway great job keeping them exercised and happy!

  • Welcome to you Maureen, and to your three basenjis Leo, Jack and Stella. Have you any pictures of them you could share with us? We love pictures!

    I hope you find a home with a backyard for them in a timely fashion. Would you be renting? Some owners are very fussy and don't want animals at their rental properties. Such a shame, because a lot of animals are cleaner than some humans.

  • Welcome to the forum. I hope you find somewhere with a yard soon.

    Mine have plenty of room to run about at home so I only have to take them for walks for new sniffs which they enjoy. I'm getting too old for long walks and have to split mine up as I can only manage 3 at a time at the most. 2 of my walks are quite short (about 30 to 40minutes) as the walkers include two oldies who can't manage far on lead although I must say that at home running free they seem to get around very well.

  • I have three bs too! And I'm just across the bridge in Jersey! Mine are 6,5,&2.5. Welcome! :)

    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    Since this is a bit old and there hasn't been a reply I wanted to touch base with you. How about some pictures of Kona's hocks.. that would be helpful to see. Hope she is doing better and her weight loss is gradually coming down. Kathy

    Welcome to you and Snicker. I'm pleased that you said 'accident' - it's definitely not Snicker's fault. If you follow the advice gicven by previous posters you'll very soon have the perfect housetrained Basenji. They are generally very clean little creatures and in my opinion are the easiest dog to housetrain.

    I welcome you also. Puppies are so adorable. Just remember a quiet Basenji is not necessarily a good thing. After all these years I still forget that one.
  • It's my first day!

    Hey thanks! A Basenji owner's manual is exactly what I've been looking for. The more I learn about these amazing creatures, the more I realize that everything I've ever known about dogs and puppy training is pretty much useless! These guys have rules of their own! I will send for my copy right away. I really appreciate all of the help I've received from everyone here so far. It's already proven extremely helpful. No help like that from those with "on the job" experience! I look forward to sharing my experiences with Missi and Cooper as well. Thanks again! ~Beth
