Welcome! Congrats on the new adoption.
Be careful though, they can get into severe fights. Giving Milka space to avoid him might help.
Do you have photos? We love pictures!
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.

Wow, another basenji owner so close!! Im just down the road in Tewkesbury
Hi to you and Butu. He is a cutie…
Is Gloucestershire ready for two Basenjis, I ask myself? :eek:
