I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.

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.

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.
