Florida Basenji's

  • Kongo (Afrika) plans to come next Sunday, it will be fun if he and Kizzie get to see each other.

    And we also had Flash, one of Kenyatta's pups, bottle fed from birth. He is a very cool boy and had a blast playing with a b-mix, Coco.

    So we have several of the Wimauma pups that come from time to time, Butler (Batboy), Kongo, Kizzie, Flash and don't forget Guppy!

    Nice to get a every changing supply of new basenjis in our Sunday-Senji group. Basenjis have such nice humans, too!

  • the other animals needed some face time ;)
    The first picture is of a "Serval" and no I don't own him, however they are used in the breeding program for my other cats which are "Savannahs". I beleive my cat "Silver" is able to better relate to Kizzie as they are both a bit wild! With Silver is "Zahara". I also have another cat "Taz" for the next post.

  • Silver has become Kizzies favorite non B friend. Kizzie has not met the horse (Shadow) yet, as he lives off site at a stable. He is the bay thourobred -the first one in the horse pictures. Taz is the big black and white cat and the other cat is "Zahara". As you can see Kizzie has lots of "friends".:D

  • Lovely cats, Triciaw - Kizzy should be very well socialized with everything, getting to know all your animals. She's a sweetheart.

  • Lovely to see pictures of the whole family!

  • Well Kizzie appears to be a Houdini. I am using that special collar/harness that goes around the neck and under the armpits. (as I was told they are supposed to be basenji proof) :) Well she got out of it during our walk two nights ago. She got panicked by a person in the area and just backed right out of it. To say I was panicked but KNOW bettter than to chase her would be an understatement. I "acted" calm/normal as she trotted in the other direction. Then Pikachu and I did an about face and headed back to the house. (Needless to say- Kizzie beat us home and was waiting on the porch) thank-goodness she apparently loves us!!! As we LOVE her dearly as well.

  • Oh, that is scary…glad it ended well.

  • Wow, how wonderful that she has bonded with you! And you were so wise to overcome the urge to go after her. I think that seeing your dog get loose is one of the most awful feelings ever. So glad she is safe and sound with you.

  • I just clicked the wrong link and unsubscribed by accident. Do I need to start over to re-subscribe?

  • Well this Sunday is going to be the Rays game. Everyone is telling me how lucky I am to be going to a sold out game (but I would rather be going to the dog park) I do beleive Kizzie and Pikachu would agree! Hope to go next Sunday!

  • There will be lots of Sundays, don't worry, just enjoy the game.

  • Kizzie is doing great. Shown here with her sister Pikachu.

    I welcome you also. Puppies are so adorable. Just remember a quiet Basenji is not necessarily a good thing. After all these years I still forget that one.
  • New to site but sure not to Basenji's

    Giza swam in the Atlantic once when we were out walkin' at low tide and the tile came in. The Atlantic in Canada is pretty cold!
  • Surprise! She's part Basenji…

    Andrea - I want to thank you for recommending the obedience website. We have all begun a program of dog training - fun for the kids especially. We have her (and the Jack Russell mix) sitting before they are allowed out, and they must "stay!" sitting even when the door opens until they are given a command to "go!" Even if the cat is just outside the door taunting them with his wicked yellow eyes to chase him - they must sit and stay until told to go. And now, after a month of constant training from all of us - they do it. In fact, both now sit at the door before it even opens anticipating the command. We also have hand gestures for the verbal commands - probably not the conventional ones, but they work for us and the pooches. We've started working on "come" now - Kandy definately doesn't like it, but she is beginning to obey "come-sit" for her treats. No treat without obeying. She's smart and quick to learn, and so is Sammy, so we're having a good time with them. Well, we did until Sammy went into heat and began making us all nutty with her constant whining and alternate aggressive behavior (she and Kandy had some real loud and nasty tussles) I had little time for the internet, for all the extra work it caused and the lack of sleep! But she's nearly done with that, and both are returning to whatever poses for normal and are getting along again. We're so happy with the two of them, and Kandy is so unique and special. What a treasure - wierd noises that she makes and all! MamaofMany
