    The Basenji takes article submissions. It is the basenji community that writes the articles. I think there has been an improvement in the content with the ownership change about 2 years ago. As for the ads being mostly show dogs and show photos, that is dependent on the advertiser. Poet's Corner is open to anyone to submit a casual photo but I think they have had less and less people submiting pictures to them.

    Another publication I like is the Rip Van Wrinkler, http://apubasenjis.com/theWrinkler.html It comes out 4 times a year.

    One thing to keep in mind about all of these publications is that the content is limited by what people are willing to submit. They do not have paid columnists.

    That's a good point, Ivoss. I wish I knew enough about anything to write an article!

    I have several old issues. If anyone would like to have them, I'm willing to pass them along.

    Just a quick note - Mantis, The Basenji is under different ownership than it was a few years ago. I think it's pretty substantially different than it was before, so it may be different now than you might expect. We do have articles on rescue in most issues. While I don't write those articles, I can pass along any requests you might have to the people who do.

    Gbroxon, if you're interested in seeing articles on a particular subject, just let Toni or I know what you want to see. Our goal is to have articles in every issue that appeal to everyone, not just people who show, and in fact one part of putting together an issue is going through and trying to make sure that there is a balance of articles that appeal to our various categories of readers. We hope that articles on topics like new African importations, Basenji rescue, Basenji health, hunting with Basenjis, Basenji trivia (such as the Basenji brand wine we featured last issue), canine legislation, and so on will appeal to everyone who loves Basenjis.

    We also provide free obituaries to memorialize deceased Basenjis, and a free online listing for owners or breeders trying to rehome dogs (Golden Opportunity Dogs.)

    The ads help pay for the magazine, and their content is whatever the advertiser wants to feature.

    If anyone wants a free sample copy (one per customer), especially if you haven't seen the magazine since we took it over, you can go to www.thebasenji.com and request one.

    Yes - you can get a free sample sent to Canada or anywhere else, and you can get a subscription in Canada or anywhere else. The rates are slightly higher for non-US, to cover the extra postage, but still very affordable.

    Becoming a member of BCOA is the best way to keep up to speed…. not to say that The Basenji is not a good publication... because it is...

    I went to the site, how do you ask for a free copy, I have never seen the magazine and I am very interested. I see on the site that you can only apply for a subscription.

    Basenji for me or not ?

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    Lisa, how about an article that actually says that Basenji's can bark. We know they cannot continuously bark like other dogs but we do know they can give us one or two good loud barks. We also know besides the Roo and the Brrrr, they can make cat like noises, and several other sounds. An article called and describing the "Sounds of the Basenji" and/or what each sound might indicate and mean might be interesting.

    I bought one for Blaze last year as he would walk up to the bed then whine, then make a feeble attempt to get up and we had to help him. He refused to use them! Every once in a while he still does the feeble whine thing, but usually he just takes a running jump. He's still pretty agile for 16.
