Member Introductions

I'm not familiar with Glen Flora, we are just outside of Houston, in a suburb SW of it. If you are ever in the city I would love for you to let me know.

Welcome to the forum Noobie. I too got my basenji/whippet mix from a shelter. The best things though, she was approximately 1 1/2 years old at the time (no real puppy chewing problems, although she is destructive with her toys), and she was house broke! I knew nothing about basenjis at the time, but with the help of this forum I am now truly educated about the breed and still learning daily. I look forward to seeing pics of your basenji.

Welcome to the forum. I can't wait to see pics of your basenji.

Welcome to the forum. Always nice to have new members.

Welcome!! I just found this wonderful forum yesterday, great place!!!

Hi Danny! Love that shot of Lucy in the hoodie. Can't wait to see more photos too. Welcome to the forum!

Hi Jill, You mentioned before that we probably live near each other. I just learned here where you aquired Duke! Wow! Was the other pup a black and white? I was initially attracted to the red and white which Joey is, but have seen some beautiful b/w. I doubt we would ever get another dog but it's fun to think what is might be like to have 2 Bs. Perhaps some day we could meet in a park to walk the dogs. Joey is 11 months and not neutered yet. He is tolerant of all dogs and aloof. We met his sister, Tory, who was taken at 8 wks and she is nasty! She snarled,"barked", etc at her brother and he just looked at her like she was crazy! We all laughed! Tory's mom is a friend of mine and how I found Joey. Send me a private email if you are interested. I'm sure I could learn a lot from you.

@RATAFIA: Could anyone help me to put Zimbo picture on the forum. The image is too heavy. How can I do ? Have you tried any of this information…..I found it very helpful. http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=259

@Sunny: So the African is larger than the American ?? Ill be posting newer pics tonight i finally got off my lazy rear and took film to be developed… but none of them are with in the last 2 weeks... she looks Basenji just she does bark but its rarely that she does ... and shes not the crisp white and red more a fawn and white... The Africans seem to be bigger, I'm sure there is the exception. Does she bark or is it more like a woof? Some of our basenji's sort of woof, but I wouldn't call it a bark. I don't know if you've ever visited this site, give it a look, lot's of 'Different" looking Basenjis. Navigate to the on-line library, many interesting articles on the Basenji in Africa. http://basenji.org/african/intro.htm http://basenji.org/african/library.htm

Welcome to the forum. I can't wait to see pictures of your b. I love all dogs, especially basenjis, but i think the b&w's are simply stunning. Glad to have you with us.

Welcome aboard. Look forward to seeing pics of Mary. She sounds like a typical Basenji/Mix. I have a Whippet/Basenji mix and she too is a handful.

Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing pics of your dog(s).

So beautiful! Welcome…it's a lot of fun to share about our dogs, etc.!

Welcome Jackboy My husband and I have a red and white Basenji boy 4 1/2 mths called Bandit and a 2yr Lowchen boy called Alfie. We are revisiting obedience for Alfie for first time training for Bandit. We are walking 2 a day with haltis now and what a difference it has made to our walks. Instead of having our arms pulled off, the boys have progressed to walking beside us…. Hooray... and oh so enjoyable.

Hi Amber, welcome to the Forums! Lots of fun Basenji talk here, I think you'll enjoy it. Give Morpheus a hug, oh, ok, Shai can have one too. Tex sends his brother a big Barroo! Terry

Luzambo, I too had one pass last March. After that I was left with one and said once he passed, I was going to be done with dogs – too much of work and emotional strain. Yep, I was going to be free to... well, to do something. Then I found a little girl related to Brie just 2 weeks later and 6 months later I have yet another. Yes, they're a lot of work at times, but so is most everything in life. I love having them around and the house would be often boring otherwise. I'm sure Pharaoh and my Brie are hanging out in their private club looking down on us saying "what are you guys doing down there?" And with a signature like yours, I don't think you'll be waiting long. Welcome to the forum!

dear muffen hi and welcome :) rescuing a dog is a wonderful thing, i hope this is a good option for you. i know brat has many dogs in florida that are looking for their forever homes. they do a great job of matching dogs to the right owner. disclaimer if you have small children it might be a good idea to get a puppy from a reputable breeder. luckily, puppy season will be here soon and there are a couple of really great breeders in florida.

i just realized my post doesnt make as much sense as it would if you knew that i had 6 sisters. i know what you mean about people thinking bs look alike. i have seen some dogs before and said well oh this and this doesnt look good. my husband is like what? it looks just like that other dog! i just roll my eyes at him. (no matter what i think they are all cute…its just this one, reminds me of the hyenas in the lion king, but even she is cute)

My niece, who has pitt bulls and with whom I have friendly little "competition" as to who has the better dog, says that little "trick" doesn't prove Jazzy's smart, just that she has me well-trained. Well. . . then, she MUST be relatively smart. She's managed to do a better job "training" me than my parents and husband put together. LOL
