He was a terror from day 1
We have an old Rescue dog if he would be on the couch Joey would walk up and just look at him until he would jump down it was hilarious.
Nothing was safe on the counter unless it was in the middle. He would swing his paw up and swipe stuff right off.
But he was a real affectionate boy as well
I sure miss him 🙁

Hello to you and Butu from the UK.
We have two Basenjis, Malaika 15 months and Kwame 15 weeks.
Who did you get Buju from ? -
Thanks all for the lovely welcome. Butu was the puppy of an accidental breeding by a couple with two Basenjis.
-
Please have Butu tested for Fanconi syndrome. It is my understanding that your 'breeder' didn't have any of her own dogs tested.
-
I shall do. My vet has never had a Basenji before, so I may have to educate them. Thanks, Victoria.
-
your vet won't actualy do the test for Fanconi. You can do it yourself by ordering a cheek swab kit from the ofa site. http://www.offa.org/

Thank you, Shelley!

Welcome to our international pack!
Lovely picture of Butu. -
A very belated welcome from yet another Brit but we have no boundaries on this forum - just belong to the worldwide Basenji lovers. I've been offline for a time hence my lateness!
Do you want to share where in the uK you are? I'm in Shropshire and have several Basenjis - the youngest are 7 and the oldest is 16 and 10 months. Loved ones all!
-
Sure! I'm in Cheltenham, Glos.
-
Not that far away from us then. Another member of the forum lives in that area too.

Sure! I'm in Cheltenham, Glos.

-
Hi to you and Butu. He is a cutie…
-
Is Gloucestershire ready for two Basenjis, I ask myself? :eek:
