Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!

The shelter had his dew claws removed when he was neutered prior to us picking him up. He had double dew claws. The bandages are already off and he never seemed to even notice them.

We just joined the Forum and we are new basenji owners. We have a 7 month old basenji mix. We have only had him 4 days but we are all in love with him. These are pictures from our back yard. He loves to play soccer with my 4 and 8 year old boys. But once he has the ball he guards it well as you can see in the picture!

Hello! We are proud to welcome Apollo, a 7 month old basenji mix into our family. We have never owned a basenji before.

We adore Apollo. We have only had him home for 4 days and he is so loving and playful. He is gentle and patient with our 4 and 8 year old boys and has already learned several commands. We are crate training him and he is doing great.

He sleeps in the crate in the boy's room and they all seem to love being read stories together adn then drifting off to sleep.

I am excited to hear from the members in this community!

Take care,
Apollo's Family

Hello, we are the new owners of Apollo, a 7 month old basenji mix. He has been absolutely fantastic. He is gentle and patient with my kids (4 and 8) and also very fun and playful. We have just tried to stick to a consistent routine with him and we have had no problems.
