Hey!

Member Introductions
  • Hello everyone! My name is Ellen, and I've had a Basenji for almost 8 years. My almost-8-year-old Basenji is Saboo, my sweet black and white girl. She and I live with my boyfriend and our 9 month old Australian Cattle Dog puppy. We're located just outside of Chicago.

    I'm excited to see this forum and meet all of you fellow Basenji-folk!

    I am in! Let's plan something here in orange County maybe? My basenji is 8 1/2 months old and he looks like yours. I went to LMU, so I know your area well. -June

    @Lenora: Hello to the new basenji owner from Birmingham! I live in Highland Park, so you are not alone. I got Abbey two years ago from some people in Morris who have the parents. She is actually not the first basenji I've had. We got Pumpkin in 1970 from the humane society here in Birmingham for $3 dollars!! Pumpkin was the color of a pumpkin. I didn't know basenjis came in black and white til I saw Abbey. The original owners had four puppies and for some reason she didn't sell till she was four months old. Basenjis here are rare, and that's part of the joy of owning one. People stop me all the time in the street and say, that's the most beautiful basenji I have ever seen! And people who don't know what she is make all kinds of guesses–a jack russell terrier is the most frequent guess. One man yesterday said is that a short haired collie (I had to bite my tongue to keep from laughing). And everybody who doesn't know about basenjis is fascinated to hear about them. yes when jig and i are out and about or even at the vet, we are always stopped because people are like what kind of dog is that. he is so pretty. of course jig is quite the flirt and loves the attention and putting on a show. glad to know im not the only one around these parts! im down 280, passes brook highlands, greystone i guess you would call it!
