  • hi everyone
    we just got a 4 month black/white fem about a month ago,a little back round history first,we also have 2 black labs,we been in search of another dog because or sheba (oldest lab) which we have for 9 yrs (was 8 months old when we got her) is now suffering with nerve/hip problems which is not making much use out of one of her rear legs,we know its only time b4 we need to do the unthinkable, she still gets around good so its ok now,our 2nd lab silky came into the picture about a 11/2 yrs ago (got both dogs from rescue) she was about 21/2 yrs old when we got her,prior to sliky we had a english bull terrier name honey,got her from rescue also cant even begin to tell you her condition when we got her only tell tell you she became one of the biggest loves one could ever have and was shebas sole mate parse but after 6 years she fell to seizures, and had to be put down 11/2 years ago,sheba was lost so we got her sliky which now the 2 you cant separate,again the tables are turning,we figured we get another dog while sheba is still her and the 2 can teach her the ways, and a basenji was just what we were looking for,almost the same temperament as the bull terrier who could ask for more lol ,it amazing how well the all get along,she sure does give silky a good workout :)

    Welcome to you (P…) and Benji, so pleased to see you on here!. I hope the seizure was a one-off but i'm sure you'll get plenty of valuable advice here if not. Do get in touch with M & L they have a wonderful vet for Skipper in Oswestry.

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!

    Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!
