Summer birthdays rock, 8/29 for me!

Thanks for the info, looks like i'm going to be waiting until late this year/early next year at the earliest then!

I am moving in may, most likely to colorado, so once i get there i will get involved with the local basenji stuff.

If all goes well, i won't have any roommates, but we'll see once that comes along. Of course they would all have to be ok with it, but if they are ok with a falcon i don't think there will be too much problem with a dog, but ya never know.

Like i said before, getting a dog is still a pretty good ways a way. July or august is the earliest and a lot of things would have to go just right, more realistic is sometime next year, but i want to do my research to be fully prepared and make sure i'll really have the time and money for it. Time isn't too much of a problem usually, but the $ part is another story, i need to make sure i am going to have a stable enough income for the vet visits, vaccinations, high quality food etc, and i always like to have a lot of money saved just in case there is ever an emergency with the animal.

renaultf1- If you want more info on falconry, send me a PM i have a great resource for you

MacPack- are you talking about the same person who started the Basenji Native Trait Preservation Project site on yahoo? If so i have joined the group and just started sifting through information.

I am in college but i do not think that having a dog will be too much of a problem, although i do appreciate the concern, but i want to do my research on the breed first. I am a licensed falconer and that is just as big a responsibility if not more so than having a dog. Adding a dog would not be too much more trouble.

Thanks for the link! I'll be sure to check it out.

Not at the moment because i am in college and living in the dorms this year again. Next year i should be living off campus though, I'm working on lining up housing now. Back home i have a mini-doxie i used to hunt rabbits with.

I am still researching as much as i can about basenji's. I have read a few sites and i have started sifting through the posts on this site. Getting a dog is still months, if not more than a year away, but i want to make sure i make the right choice in the breed i get.

I am not sure how folks feel about hunting with basenji's on this site, but i am looking for a dog that i can run rabbits with. I hunt a lot [3-6 times a week] so the dog would get exercised often.

I am looking into this breed for a few reasons-

• Size, not too big not too small
  -Sighthound, i love watching sighthounds run, it just amazes me everytime i see it
  -Still has a good nose from what i've heard
• Lots of energy, i really like hunting and i want a dog that will keep up with me

edit- Edited some wording

Hello everyone, i am new to the forums and pretty new to basenji's. I have done a bit of reading on them the past week or so and they seem like they fit well with what i am looking for in a dog! Of course i still have a lot of reading to do and have been reading all i can get my hands on. This forum seems like a great resource!

Anyway i hope to learn a lot from the boards and just wanted to say hi
