The Essence of a Basenji Owner

Basenji Talk
  • Had to chuckle when I received the following message on Facebook from one of our previous puppy buyers:

    Can you send us an e-mail? Raider ate our purchase agreement so I no longer have your e-mail address. We do want another puppy this winter, Raider is the best Basenji!

    Only a B owner would think that it was just fine for the "best Basenji" to have eaten the purchase agreement. And this is from the people who called us not long after they got him to say that Raider had found a hole in the side of their family room couch, which he made into his own Habitrail by eating all the way through and out the other side. They thought he was so clever!

    Sounds like they were prepared for a Basenji! :D

  • Love this story :)

  • Yes, they are "naturals" for basenji ownership. Admiration of your basenji's cleverness is a wonderful point of view!

    I don’t bathe my three very often, they’re outside all the time and sleep in their dog house with hay and a heater when it gets cold, We bathe them when they get muddy at the park.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    I put a dab of butter inside his actual kong. His eyes lit up as soon as he caught the scent of the butter. He's too comical…. :D
