  • Been reading this site for a few months now while my family has been investigating bringing a dog to join our home. Research led us to an interest in basenjis, which culminated last week in a visit with a local breeder and his pack. Now we're hooked!

    We are looking for an adult basenji or a mix with strong b characteristics. We hit up petfinder.com and BRAT several times a day, and have just recently started contacting breeders looking for available adults.

    This site has been an enormous help even as non-owners, I can't imagine how useful it will be when we add a basenji to the family!

  • Welcome to the Forum, who's Basenjis did you meet?

  • Congrats on doing your research!!! You really need that attitude with this breed, especially when looking for a responsible breeder or adoption agency. Welcome to the forum and we can't wait to see picks of your new friend when she/he arrives!! =)

    Welcome to the Forum, who's Basenjis did you meet?

    Met with Kyle C. and the Kaleonahe pack. Seeing basenjis in person is worth a thousand internet posts.

  • Welcome to the forum - you seem to have taken a very good route to get your basenji. I hope you find your forever addition to your family soon.

  • Glad your doing your homework…we are all here to help you.

    Delighted that Kane is finally on the mend - you will see his weight gain in leaps and bounds now he no longer has those unwelcome little visitors. Keep a close eye on him though and get back to the vet at the first sign of any more troubles. good luck to you both !

    Hello fellow long time Basenji friend. They are such a joy to live with aren't they? Do share your longevity secrets:D Is it exercise? Food? Dental care? We had our first two for 15 and 16 years, and decided that more tooth brushing could have helped. We want to keep our newly adopted Leo around a long long time.

    Welcome to our pack - you'll find basenjis have their own unique quirks so feel free to ask questions, post frustrations, and share good times. We've all "been there, done that".

    Ok now comes the story about Missy. Missy would destroy things around the house, get into the garbage, chew on socks and underwear. Mom would punish her , tell her she was bad, and Missy would go pout. Mom would have to leave her bedroom door shut for a week or Missy would go in and pee on Mom's side of the bed, but never Dad's side. who was punishing who?:p
