Hi Mike
Welcom to the forum.
I just wanted to give you my experiancec conserning allergic reactions to Basenjis.
Until now I have sold 3 Basenji pups to people who are allergic to dogs and everything goes very fine.
Two families in Germany visited our kennel because both woman were allergic to dogs. They stayed for at least 2 hours with our Basenjis sitting on their laps or racing around our house. Non of the two ladies sufferd from any reaction to the dogs and live, one since January 2004 and the second since February 2005 with their Basenji boys without any problem.
Another family (Dutch) is living since february 2007 with another of our B-Boys. Here it is the man who reacts allergic to dogs but not to our Basenjis.
To be complete I have to tell you that a Swedish family came to visit our dogs to see the reaction of the huspand to our dogs. This man was so allergic, he almost reacted to the word dog. They stayed for 1.5 hour at our place between our dogs without any reaction but when they were 1/2 hour on the way back home, the huspand got an allergic reaction and they were very sorry not being able to keep a dog.
Like someone else wrote, you have to visit a breeder and see if there is any allergic reaction to the dogs.
Good luck.

People who purchased a pup from our last litter came up with a suiteble name for their dog. NIMBUS.
Nimbus means in Dutch 2 different things.

• The circle around the head of an angel and
• some kind of thunder cloud
  What could be more appropriate for a Basenji?
  An angel when he's asleep and a thunder cloud when awake.

All our pups get their chip the same day as their first vaccination (6 weeks old).
Our vet will first mark a little point on the left side of their neck with a marker (just to find the right spot again) and then she will give on that spot a local anaestesia. After this she will first vaccinate all pups and only then she will chip them. The pups never give any reaction due to the local anaestesia.
It's true that the needle is big enough for a little Basenji but with the local anaestesia, the pups don't feel a thing and so don't have a bad feeling about a visit to the vet.

Hi all

Just a little brag.
We managed to get our first Ch. title for our home bred B. boy.
Abuluka's Disanka (Chagga, 28 months old) finnished best male during the international show in Luxemburg with CACL and CACIB.
He lost the BOB against the bitch who won the world show in Poland last year (Jasiri Sukari Vermillion).
He now needs only one point (CAC) to become Belgian Ch. and one point (CACIB) to become Int. Ch.
Were so proud of our little boy.

Kind regards

My parents lived for 12.5 years out in the Congo and my mother told me she noticed that Basenjis tend to eat dirt but in fact they are eating roots of different plants and grasses.
I notice the same behaviour in all 6 Basenjis at home. They eat the roots of grass and other plants, even roots of trees and not really the dirt.
