I took Kizzie and Pikachu to a small local dog park today and Kizzie had a blast. She played with all the other dogs and ran around like her tail was on fire. She is one very fast Basenji!! The only problem was when I went to leave, she did not want to be put on her leash. So, Pikachu and I just walked toward the gate and she followed. When we got to the "staging" area, she decided that she wanted to come with us and allowed me to put her leash on and get her loaded in the truck. We had a great time at the park. Maybe next week, we will try a bigger dog park with more dogs. This park only had 5 or 6 other dogs for the 2 hours we were there.
Kizzie doesnt seem to have the growling issues that Isis has, she is very gentle with food and toys. We can move her or take them from her without any problems. The only problem she has is being really shy with people, but she is taking small steps everyday.

Hi, everyone,

I am a member of BCOA and BRAT. I have friends on this list and decided it was time for me to join. I also was interested in seeing a new picture of Kizzie. I am so happy she is in her forever home. Best wishes to Kizzie, Piikachu, and the Williams family!

So, are you the Debbie that I first contacted from BRAT about the Fl Rescue Basenji's?

Here is a few pics from this weekend…....

Hello, Joe and Trish here…. We now own two Basenji's
1. Pikachu 10 year old female, red and white that we have owned for 10 years
Pikachu has had one litter (3 pups), about 8 years ago and I believe one of her pups has an owner that posts on this forum (Basenji is Cesar, from Florida)
2. Kizzy 9 month old female, dark red and white, light green eyes, just received her today. She is a BRAT basenji, part of the "Wimauma pack" Very shy and gentle, not completely "socialized" yet. She has had alot to deal with in the first 9 months of her life. Just today she met her first cats and had to deal with stairs, a dock and the Gulf of Mexico. In time she will learn to love it all, just like her sister, Pikachu.
She seems very curious about the cats, as they do about her.
