Check out a local Chi rescue in your area. They will be able to help you.

Our female goes to bed with dad and are male stays out with me. I think she likes to sleep on moms side of the bed and streach out. Ive come in a few times and found her with her head on my pillow. :)

Yes, they are "naturals" for basenji ownership. Admiration of your basenji's cleverness is a wonderful point of view!

Well, I always thought it was My-a, like the South American tribe. I sometime make the mistake of calling my current fella by my previous fella's name. O.K. it's frequent enough that he sometimes comes to it. Can't blame him, really, I will answer to a name that is not mine, nor close to it, because most folks can't remember what my name is, they just remember that it's, I don't know, Scandanavian, Germanic. I've been called 'Gretchen' my enire life, and I answer to it, in most company, because I know they mean me. That's not my name. I'm sure Arleigh feels the same way sometimes. Poor fella!

One of the questions on the malinois rescue application was "Do you have any small animals that you wish to keep?" Hmmmmm . . .

Sonny has only every barked at one person since he was a puppy….my mother :eek:.....he barks at her every time we go visit the house or he see her anywhere..and he barks & yodels till he feels she's given him enough attention! people always get a kick out of it when they see it because other wise he never makes a sound :p

I wonder if skunks smell like badgers? That's the worst smelling poo that my Basenjis roll in. They particularly wipe the side of their muzzles in the poo - more often than the whole body..

I've e-mailed you as well Lisa :)

Gemma does this all the time to her feet, her sides, and Shaye, when Shaye will allow it. I thought it was just a nervous habit. Huh - learn something new every day on here!

No, Zurich :)

Lovely story, it brought a lump to my throat as my last Basenji was called Benji. People do notice them because it sometimes seems they are a permanent fixture in the window. Our neighbour used to see Benji sunbathing in the window and i told her he was ill, he lasted for another 18 months and we lost him last Feb. We then got Malaika and as soon as she was old enough she took up residence in Benji's place. Our neighbout didn't know we had a pup and remarked to her friend how Benji was still hanging on .

i think i got a pic of what you're talking about. my boy Zumi does this all the time with my other two dogs. he will stand over them, sometimes with hackles raised and posturing, or sometimes he just stands there over them, doing nothing at all. It doesn't seem to bother the other dogs, so i don't bother either. the dog he is standing over is only 6 months, but he is a highly aggressive dog, he doesn't seem to care that Zumi stands like this.

You are very right to be concerned. We lost a beagle 3 weeks ago and only just discovered over the weekend that it was a bufo frog. (after reading an article on Friday about them) I found and destroyed one in my backyard. [image: attachment_p_117131_0_bufo_marinus_usgs_compare.jpg]

Our boys don't touch human food at home, when I put my dinner at the couch next to Buana or chaufuko they won't look up… :D Also when we aren't in the room they won't steal food from the table (thank god because they should be really fat already thanks to the cats and Ryan) When it's on the floor, they will steal it :D

Lesco, where are you getting your pups from?

I have come to the conclusion that all Basenji people are just a bit crazy, we brag on thier "badness", we are "proud" of the destuctive things they do, "mine ate a chair" I can beat that mine at the couch - TWICE, mine ate thru a wall, or mine destroyed the inside of my Lexus! But we are addicted to them, can't live without one or more in the house and underfoot. do you think they have a pill that can cure our nutiness over our Bs? Wouldn't take it if they did.

@renaultf1: lol - what is the craziest thing you have bought for your dog? A purse. Lol Hahaha… Well I got this dog food/toys/stuff catalog in the mail. They have nail polish for dogs, in about 5000 different colors and shades, and those little glittery stickers that you put over the nail polish. Purse is nothing!

She has done some testing. Do you know the parents of the dog you are thinking about getting? I know she has had some litters that were sired by PJ's Kenset Back To The Future, http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=1260147#animal I also think she has his son, Kenset Alwyn Enrico Karooo So, http://www.offa.org/display.html?appnum=1394144#animal

Selective dogginess. Is that a word? Oh, well…I guess it is now. :)
