Sounds like an excellent Jr's dog! I hope both of them find a home soon.

Ah well, such is life – volunteers are volunteers.

Although my experience with Basenjis is little, If Ayo is a typical basenji he definitely has an incredible drive to hunt. He will chase after anything that moves. I think he would make a great hunter and be excellent in lure coursing. I don't like hunting, and this really isn't the place for it either. But I have bben seriously considering getting a lure machine and trying to find some land where I could use it…
As far as temperament is concerned, on our last show, just as the judge was approaching to check his teeth. Ayo sneezed! and the judge jumped back. He then approached again, realizing it was just a sneeze, but he told me that he had basenjis in the seventies and he jumped back cause he knew what they could do in a second!!!He was nice though, he really liked them, but was careful around them.I told him he had nothing to worry about. Although Ayo sometimes nips when he gets really excited, he has never bitten anyone or been aggressive towards anyone who approached him and he is great with children.
I am not sure i understand why anyone would NOT want a dog with a nice temperament, but I can understand not wanting to loose that typical Basenji character!!
By the way, Had never heard of Decker terriers , they look a lot like basenjis, especially the red and white ones!! Interesting breed....

Shelley, Bungwa is one of my males from my last litter, he is named after Bungwa of Blean. His full name is Antefaa Bungwa Forest Glory. I've not been in a hurry to get my males tested as I don't intend to breed again. However I get stud enquiries so couldn't consider accepting until he is tested and this applies to my 3 males. You may meet him at the NBS sometime but as you may know I'm not ultra keen on showing.

Does any one know whether Gary Johnston has published the details of the direct test as I want to forward the link to Jeff Sampson of the UK Kennel Club? They'll obviosly require published information.

Thank you Linda, for a very thoughtful post. While I've never met anyone from this forum, I quite agree that people can change for the better. Like basenjis, sometimes we need to take the time and lick our fellow basenji's wounds…

Actions speak louder than words, but basenjis roos are much better. 🙂

One of the folks who went over to p/u this last group of b's has rejoined the forum. He is Bryan Gregory and you can see his post under Jumoke. Ask him the questions you have re the area's and dogs that he saw first hand.

I assume as I have a paypal receipt that I am paid, but would have been nice to know for sure especially for people who mail in their dues. I have had many pieces of mail lost over the past few yrs

I would not have posted if I beleived it to be a scam. For folks who do worry about such things - one can always let the person know they would be more than willing to donate directly to the vet clinic for care of their pet.

M.C. I too beleive they either got what they needed to help their little girl or they realized they put too much info on craigslist. I am hoping for the former.

As for Drew - yes - that is a picture of him. If you really want to know - email me privately and I can send you a copy of an article I was asked to write for an Aussie pubication re: him.

Look at that tail curl. Love her. 🙂 She's so elegant!

She's a great looking girl. And go ahead - bring a few quail to the next show.

Thanks for the info on the Dremels.
Benji's claws must have just been kept short by pavement walking then because i never had to give them any attention .

oh, NICE! That chicken is something else.

ahh..I was hoping to put my name on the list..oh well, next time maybe.
