Hello from Wyoming

Member Introductions
  • Here is my first Basenji, 10-month-old Pokey, in the attached pictures. We live in Wyoming where we don't have many neighbors who have seen a Basenji before and he delights them all.

  • Welcome to the forums! My gang and I here at Haus Annandael in sunny Denver, CO say hi to our neighbor in the north! :)

  • Glad you made it over Feebee. I'm the one who gave you this link on the other site. You'll find LOTS of great info here. Somebody will ask you where you got Pokey from because we like to know who we're related to via our dogs. ;) I have 3 badsenjis and one crazy malinois. If you ever get down to colorado, let us know.

  • Cute pup. Love the photo behind the blinds!

  • Very cute puppy!

  • A big WELCOME to you and your new little monster (just kidding!). We all know basenjis are perfect. :) I too love the pic of him poking out from the blinds.

  • Your puppy is adorable! The picture behind the blinds is priceless - and odd from my point of view, because my girls, within reach of a venetian blind, have and still would tear them to pieces to see out! Needless to say, we had to replace all of them, and they are all "half-mast" forever to protect them from being destroyed.

  • Welcome onboard..and yes..those are great pics..the blind picture like said before..priceless.

  • Welcome!

    Yes, the blinds, my B does the same thing. I have roll down shades that he likes to climb around and walk along the curtain wall. It's tough for him to get out though and it's always entertaining watching the struggle. :D

    I often get to Colorado!!! We moved here from Fort Collins, although my husband was in Grand Junction with his job. His job is moving us again to North Dakota.

    We got Pokey from a breeder in Utah.

    Hahaha! Pokey too has destroyed them all! We have resorted to replacing them with cheap $5 ones until I find something better :)

  • Glad you found us!

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.

    Have you read Control Unleashed? There was a blind basenji that would go up to sniff a human and then would nip. So they taught this pup a sniff then retreat type of behavior. The Look at That game, whiplash recall, mat work, off switch game are great for this sort thing. I think the basenji was talked about a lot on the CU list about a year or two ago, you may want to join and check the archieves.
