The Florida Wimauma Basenji Story with photos

Basenji Rescue
  • I got to chat with Judge Nick today about the Wimama basenji pack. . He was the presiding judge at the Feb 11th hearing in Tampa, who granted custody to Hillsborough County Animal Shelter. Of course I thanked him for saving the basenjis, saying how wonderful that they would be turned over to BRAT. He spoke highly of BRAT, impressed that BRAT members were in attendance from not only Tampa but from around the country. Awesome !

    He did look like he had short legs but I thought his body was long for a Rat Terrier. I am so used to them having a docked tail and much more white on the body. I thought he may be a poorly bred Basenji. Mansfield is not too far away from the Amish area. I wonder if he barks much! Jennifer

    Thank you MacPac. I contacted 2 breeders in the Gainesville-Ocala area but they don't have any available at the moment. We'll keep looking. Thank you everyone for the great suggestions :)

    That is my motto for b's as well. ACD…often smarter than their owners...which gets them into such trouble. Wonderful dogs for the right owners. Hugs for helping this smart, busy breed.

    :) :) :) Bumping this because BRAT NEEDS MONEY badly.. please folks, buy a calendar, buy one for friends for presents! Help support the rescue.:) :) :) @sharronhurlbut: Each year, BRAT sponsors a calendar photo contest. BRAT volunteers and adopters submit photos of their basenjis and the BRAT family then votes for their favorites. The winning photos are featured on a calendar which we sell to raise money to help rescue basenjis. Many of the dogs we rescue are featured on this calendar. This year, we had more than 400 entries. The voting for the 2007 calendar has just concluded and I am pleased to report that you can view the top fifty entries on our website at: http://www.basenjirescue.org/CalendarContest/default.asp After seeing these photos, we hope that you will order one of our calendars. The calendars are on glossy paper and are professionally printed. Jacque Holdaway has designed the calendar for the past few years and does an outstanding job–-we guarantee that you won't be disappointed. BRAT calendars sent to domestic addresses cost only $23.00, including shipping. Payment may be made by check or money order payable to BRAT, Inc. There is no limit on the number of calendars you may order. Buy a few and give to your friends and relatives! We will begin shipping calendars in October. We are only printing 750 calendars and when they are sold out we won't be able to get any more---so please order early to be sure you can get one. The calendar project is our biggest fundraiser of the year. All of the net proceeds from the project go directly to the dogs-no one in BRAT receives any salary or other compensation. Last year, we were able to pay vet bills for more than 40 dogs just from the money we made selling calendars. The order form is found at: http://www.basenjirescue.org/CalendarContest/calendarorder.asp Thank you for your continuing support!
