Hi from Sundsvall, Sweden

[Basenjimamma]

I don't know about a forum…but here is :Svenska Basenji sallskapets" website..http://www.basenji.se/
lots of info available as well as links to all the breeders that follow certain SKK guidelines.
There are also guidelines available as to what diseases basenjis might be prone to..

As far as health testing the more the merrier, in my opinion…but for sure Fanconi, eyes would be nice and hips are a plus....and remember ask questions, see if you can visit breeders and hang with them and their dogs..there are a few breeders in the middle and a little north but most of them are in the south it seems.

There are lots of great breeders in Sweden. And I can certainly recommend Elegant Elephant (although the kennel name isn't the greatest ;)) They are planning to breed their black and white girl next season… ;) www.elegantelephant.se

Thanks Patty =)

Welcome to the forum!

I had to chuckle a little when I got a mental picture of a cute little Chinese Crested doing weight-pulling. They look so delicate, one expects to see them lounging around on silk pillows eating bon-bons, not competing next to Malamutes and Rottweilers!

Hope your little Basenji arrives soon, I confess to a big weakness for black and whites.

Here is a video on my little Brat when he pull a chain on 2,5 kilo.

This is very easy weight for him, I was just teasting the new harness.

Thanks Kipawa and Thunderbird8588.

Right now I just read a lot about the breed and has sent email to a few kennels that I like and has been recomended to talk to so I hope I have some more knowledge about the breed later.

We now have two relatively active b-girls, ages 16 and 15; their two brothers died in 2008 and 2010 at ages 15 and 16. We've been very fortunate and count our blessings every day the girls are with us.
