Hello from Canberra, Australia


  • Hello all, just thought I would formally introduce myself. I have browsed these forums for a few years since before i got my little man.

    My Basenji man is Oden Chezley and came from Wazazi Basenjis in Sydney, Australia and he just turned 2 in June.

    He is an absolute gem, of course troublesome when he was growing up but now he is perfection and has settled down although still has his cheeky streaks.

    i dont show him and he has had the snip, he is my best friend. i love him to pieces. i dont think i could ever change dog breeds now.

    i shall post some pictures of him in the "show of my dog" section.


  • Welcome to you and Oden!


  • Hello Oden, welcome to the best Basenji Forum in the world !!!

    Im in Tassie, and I also have 3 Wazazi dogs, 2 of which I show, but have 5 all-up :)…

    They are a little like chippies, you need more than 1 !!!

    Can I ask what your guys breeding is, cos I got my Vanda off Kylie 2 years ago as well, so Im wondering if they are related...

    Im looking forward to going down to look at Oden...


  • Hi Saba,

    Yes my boy is Vanda's sister.
    we have spoken on here before, i posted a couple of time when i first got oden. but that account has been deactivated from my lack of use. (which i aim to improve this time around)

    i want to get another Basenji this time a girl, but the boyf wont allow it till we move to a bigger place. we want to get a Black and White girl next time around. im sure Oden would love a little friend :D


  • I did wonder if we had talked before, but your new name confuddled me !!!

    I LOVE the bl/wh's and its my dream to get one, but just finding the right show quality dog is an issue. Im sure one day my dream will come true, I hope :)…

    Good to see you back here :-)...


  • Welcome to the Forum. Your guy is beautiful. It doesn't surprise anyone here that he retains his "cheeky" side - he wouldn't be a basenji if those went away.:rolleyes:


  • Glad you found us.


  • Welcome :)


  • Welcome to you and Oden.

    Welcome, basenjis are not cats & you teach a basenji not train. Sounds like you are starting to understand. Welcome

    My EL D will nip "unprovoked" at the legs of any males that come near me – I think it's related to incidents with his previous owner. But also I've been noticing that these "attacks" are not always totally unprovoked. In some cases, he'll nip at my brother when he comes out of the dark guest bedroom or up from the dark basement and I think he doesn't like the surprise. He'll also nip if there's too many people crowded around me or him and so maybe he doesn't like feeling surrounded. Maybe there is something that is really setting off alarms with your beastie too. EL D hasn't been any problem when we're out on our walks - he'll even let the neighborhood kids come running up and pet him (I've told all the kids however that they have to let EL D smell them before they touch him and the kids all respect that so far). The problem might partly be a territorial thing.
