Basenji Club Of Dominican Republic??

Basenji Meetups & Events
  • I have been thinking of maybe trying to get all the people that own basenjis here and form the 1st Dominican Basenji Club. I know there arent that many and I know I can get in touch with them. So I dont know. I guess i think it would be nice and also I would like to help inform better about the breed. I know that some people have basenjis and have no clue. I met one boy at the dog show in october , who approached me because he had a girl and wanted to cross her with Ayo. SO i strated asking him questions and he had no clue.. Had no idea what fanconi was, or tests, or anything he just had a female dog and thought the "thing to do" was breed her. NAturally I tried to explain to him everything, and I said I couldnt help, with my dog. I suggested he look into this forum and try to learn more.. but he never emailed me and who knows, he probably went ahead and bred her..
    Anyway. what do you think? Do you think that is a good idea? Any suggestions on how to go about it????

  • You can go to www.akc.org and seach about clubs, there are lots of details on starting a club… in the beginning all mostly the same....

  • I'm all for Basenji clubs especially where education is available - as you say so many people need more knowledge to raise their B's successfully.

  • I'm looking for a red and white female puppy that is only a couple of months old for $250 or less around the tennessee area.

    @DebraDownSouth: Oh Pat, for crying out loud, cause I obviously need a combination of more sleep and caffeine I saw UK and thought United Kingdom. My daughter says I don't have to look for a nursing home, they're looking for me some days. :) I'd delete my post but it's pretty funny so I won't. LOL Debra…. take the caffeine! It is pretty funny!!!!!

    I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you had responded. I thought I'd get an email. Zoey is definately NOT good off leash. It would be great to find a fenced area…I know there is a dog park (with a small dog area) near me, but I don't know how you feel about driving. (I've commuted for years, so I'm used to it). I could probably call Bear Mountian the park to see if they allow dogs. I'm working tomorrow, but I'll try to find out on Tuesday. Also, there is some sort of an event in Woodstock, NY (beautiful town), sponsored by the Rip Van Winkle Basenji Club. I am totally new to all of this stuff, so I'm not sure what goes on there, but here is a link....I thought you might be interested. If I'm not working I may go just to check it out. http://www.rvwbasenjiclub.org/June.24th.Match.html

    I would love to bring Wheat down, but don't think I can make this show. Sigh. Please post the photos and such to this site. If we can't be there, at least we can share it with you!

    The gang in the picture "Basenji and rescue friends" where certainly entertaining but at the same time sad. One of the club members works for a Vet. Puppy mills bring in dogs for various reasons and sometimes after the Vet care is completed the Puppy mills figure they have too large of a bill and just don't come back to pick them up. This lady takes them in and she keeps them with her Basenji's. The Pug had both legs broken, and currently cannot use it's front legs, but somehow get's around…....it's a touch sad to watch. The little Chi wha wha, had a broken leg and was in a cast. Hopefully it will heal correctly and it can walk without problem.....they just don't know. Good to know there's folks that have a kind heart and are willing to take in such sad cases that no one else wants. My son and I couldn't help looking at them in there and comparing them to the toys on the Isle of misfit toys from the Christmas cartoon. They really where cute with they're basenji foster mom.

    Good job to all the workers and planners - these things don't go on by magic but lots of hard work. I wish I could've been there but as we all know "life is what happens when we're making other plans." Congrats to all winners - and congrats to all who participated - after all you can't win if you don't play. Thanks for playing!
