When my daughter was pregnant she would stop by once a week and Izzy would always sniff her all over , most of all her stomach and around that area, her husband was afraid of Izzy being around the baby when he came , because Izzy is not a real friendly basenji especially to my son in law. Izzy has never had any aggression toward my grandson, my grandson is 7 now and Izzy is always there to protect him, when the grandson goes down the stairs Izzy is just one step in front of him like he is protecting him from falling. I don't know about other basenjis but Izzy loves kids, but not a lot of adults.
Great Days at the Vet.

I'm such a proud "mama"!
Yesterday I had to take Jazzy in the vet because she had a swollen, "goopy" eye. {Turned out to be a scratched cornea, as I figured}. My regular vet wasn't in, and it was a new-to-our-clinic vet that looked at her.
She – the vet -- doesn't own a Basenji but is a big fan and thinks she wants to own one some day. She just fell in love with Jazz, and took her around to show her off to people in the back. Jazz let them stain her eye, put meds in, etc. and didn't fight or fuss with them at all.Today, I took Keoki in for his first check-up w/our regular vet. The other doc. came in just to see him, and asked where I get such great Basenjis.
I was happy to share the name Jumoke.
Our regular vet loved Keoki -- was impressed that he was so calm and cooperative, confident, unafraid, curious, etc, and healthy-- and said, "I didn't think I'd ever want to own a Basenji, but after seeing yours I'd think about it."
Proud Mommy moments! -
How cute your basenji's must be! They sound sweet as pie. I'm always so happy when my B is a good boy at the vet I'm sure they have enough cranky, snappy, dog to deal with as is!
That was a nice story thanks for sharing! -
