Hi all! Update time. We met our potential B today and we are going to get him! He is an absolute love bug - Loves people and giving kisses. We won't be getting him until this summer because he is finishing his show season. Here are some photos of the darling:!!

Happy update - this little dude just got his championship this past weekend. Here he is looking adorable ringside!

@DebraDownSouth I'm coming home for my lunch hour each day. We just moved to a new apartment very close to my work - so that I can give him enough exercise during the workday. I'll post some more photos!!!

@patty Lincoln is 2 years old. We did not neuter him to fix aggression issues.

I'm in DC, feel free to email me at mstewartbates@gmail.com, we could meet up and have our B's play

@marcorilli The forum is not letting me message you directly for some reason...Seems like this website has been glitch lately

@marcorilli I'd love to meet up, I'll message you.

Hello! Lincoln got neutered 3 weeks ago and before neutering, hadn't shown one lick of aggression towards other dogs. He got his stitches out a week ago. In the past week he has suddenly become dog aggressive while he is on his leash. I've even caught him "stalking" other dogs like he stalks prey (He crouches and walks slowly towards a dog when he spots them). Once he gets close, he lunges and snaps at them. This is completely new behavior, and I am at a loss as to why it's happening! It is very concerning as we live in downtown DC where he encounters dozens of dogs daily. He seems to be okay at the dog park but has also become very mouthy and nippy with people when he is an excited state (i.e., when he's running and playing with other dogs). He nips hard enough to bruise and rip clothing; he thinks it's a fun game. Right now I'm afraid to take him to the dog park at all or let him interact with other dogs. Help!

Congrats! I am a new basenji parent and have had my boy for about 5 months. You will love it!!

In case this info is helpful, I got a retired male show dog at 18 months old for $1100 (Virginia area) and the breeder's puppies go for $1300.

We're in DC- we could meet up somewhere if you're interested!

@DebraDownSouth Thanks! Would you mind posting the links? I'd be interested in reading them.

@tanza Thank you! He started howling mournfully in October and I think it is because he know it is breeding season...
