Celebrities and basenjis
-
Maureen Lippman who is a famous comedienne in the UK has a Basenji and yes, Queen Beatrice of the Netherlands had Basenjis. The infamous King Farouk of Egypt had Basenjis. There was a rumour that Greta Garbo had a Basenji but I'm not sure how true this was.
Years ago I offered the Prince of Wales a Basenji puppy but he replied (very politely) to the effect that he had Labradors which he adored.
Silly Man!!! Doesn't know what he is missing or maybe he does! ;)

Loved your reply Pat.

Courtney Thorne-Smith owns basenjis, I believe hers were rescues from Medfly Basenji Rescue. Her tri boy was part of her wedding ceremony and she had an article in I think, Style magazine, where she talked about keeping the basenjis in mind when decorating and buying furniture for the house. They always need a good spot for sunning themselves.

Our former queen, Queen Juliana
Edit: I actually found a video of her with her Basenji. Quite funny, she was trying to keep her in her lap while giving some sort of interview.. but Miss Basenji wasn't planning to sit still :D

Yes, Pat, perhaps the whole of our Royal Families lives could have been changed!!!!!!
Janneke - is that Mzara of the Congo? I'd love to see the video.
Apparently Maureen Lipmann had her Basenji with her on telvision and she sat quietly in the corner chewing somebody's book!!

@Patty: name of the bitch was Fula Nzara of the Congo. I'm trying to find the video.. but haven't found it yet. I did make a video of the video with my iphone.. but I think it's nicer to show the original :)

Yes Courtney Thorne-Smith does have B's.
