Kipawa had a basenji play date today…

    And I was just going to say…"where are the pictures?" ;)
    I remember Jigsaw had a similar experience when she was about Kipawa's age. It was so neat to see her really PLAY with another dog who "understood" her body language. Hopefully you'll be able to have more playdates with Chewie - and be sure and bring your camera next time!

    With 2, you have all that fun all the time! I'm just saying…......

    So glad you got to meet Chewie, I'm sure you will have many good playdates. (If it works out, think about swapping 'babysitting', that can work out really well for a few hours, or days)

    How much fun…
    I once had that happen too at the dog park, when I had Otis..we walked closer and through the fence I could see two red/whites and one tri running by..my heart skipped a beat..what are the odds of meeting one basenji let alone three at the park..zilch, zero nada....but we did...come to find out two of tehm had been my fosters for a very brief time until they made it to their longer term foster..whom in turn ended up adopting both of them..small world..

    'When' it happens, Scarlett will love it Walter. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of you.

    I like the saying two are better than one. House is lots of fun and life is great.

    Sharon is right, now you know how we get sucked into having more than one. Something about watching them run together that just looks so natural. I had his two sisters and two of my other dogs running the property together in the sun (brief moment of sun) Saturday. It was so great to watch them interact with each other and take turns chasing each other.
    Glad he got to meet a friend who was fun for him to play with like that, great experience for him.
    Hugs,

    Honestly Therese, I don't know who enjoyed it more, Kipawa and Chewie, or the adults who were watching them!

    It's been a little over 3 months since Mr Baroo came to live with us and Karin and I are grinning most of the time because of the wild play times with Bitty. She had been developing a severe case of couch potato untul he came. Now every time they go out the back door it is at a dead run and Mr. B leads Bitty on multiple circles of their 1/4 acre yard.They are so awesomly beautiful when they run likle that.

    Basenji for me or not ?

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    @melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun... Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she? You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :thumbs_up: Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.
