"He maintained that the basenji was the oldest breed on earth, having originated in Central Africa around 5000 B.C., whereas there was no trace of the Afghan hound earlier than around 4000 B.C." ~ Archie Goodwin (referring to Nero Wolfe)

I was just watching the Nero Wolfe episode "Die Like a Dog" and Nero makes a comment about basenjis which I thought I had to document/share : ) I copied the line from the novel, it is phrased differently in the TV version. [ [url]http://nero.wolfe.angelfire.com/26c.htm ]

A smart, well produced, entertaining and wonderful show, highly recommended!

Very nice pictures! What camera did you use?

As for Tillo being fat…J did start by saying "To loose some weight.. we run.. (yes.. me too)" Not that either of them need to : )

When I had my female 'senji Bidi she was nice to him BUT when there was company or it was playtime and rough housing (two words?) she was the boss! Oh also hunting (sadly she got a blackbird or two in the back yard) she was the boss : ) She was actually smarter and listened if that's possible WAY more than him, I wonder if that's true with other female basenjis.

Hi All! Just thought I'd do an intro since I'm back reading the forums after a while : )

The name is Anoop, been a 'senji owner since 2004. Actually Diana McCarty (who I think is on the board as dmcarty) met me at a truck stop in WI to transfer over Budh (former alias Butch and he is now about 13)…don't know if she remembers : ) Had another BRAT 'senji Bidi (former alias Brandy) 2005-06...she was an awesome girl!

Here are some pictures of the hound about 3 years ago > http://www.atreya.net/pictures/budh/

Well that's it for now…cheers everyone!
