The first picture of Bimmy with the horses reminds me so much of Maxx (who is waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge). He loved horses and always wanted us to pick him up so that he could lick the horses' noses. Once we were at an RV park that had miniature horses, which Maxx could easily have reached the noses of standing on the ground. But he still wanted us to pick him up so he could lick their noses!

Precious…sounds like Maxx was a real sweatheart.

Bimmy very happy and Healthy, Welcome to the site. lots to learn here on the site.

Welcome! Bimmy looks like a very handsome, fun-loving guy.
And the CEO pic is spot-on, because Basenjis definitely think they are in charge. And, well, who are we to argue?

welcome to the forum! Great photos!!!

welcome to the forum, i look foward to hearing more about Bimmy. Lovely handsome boy

My experience with B's is that they ONLY come when called when you first get them–after that, they know you'll never leave them behind so they get REAL casual about listening : ) Be careful about letting him off leash, few Basenjis develop really reliable recall, while many more are hit by cars or lost.

I agree completely with this - when a Basenji has other things on his/her mind. you may become the last thing they care about. I always envy people who can let their dogs off leash - but I won't give my girl a chance to run off!

Welcome to Bimmy and your family! Those pictures made me smile - he looks like he has tons of personality. And isn't it nice when we can find a safe place for our dogs to run? They certainly, as Bruce Springsteen said, were "Born to Run".
Groan….

Welcome to the forum, Bimmy loks a very smart boy.

@tkt:
As for his name, his registered named was Serengeti to Bimini, so we just shortened it to Bimmy. It seemed to fit him well :).
Serengeti? That's Midge Greenlee, right?

Yep, he was one of Midge's. We couldn't be more happy with his temperment….he is such a sweet boy!

Groan…. Thanks for the warm welcome. Any yes, it is always great when we can find a place to let Bimmy run, as he sure loves it! The beach mentioned in the earlier post was such a great location as it was only accessible by boat (no cars, woohoo!) and completely surrounded by water.
We moved back to NC a few months ago, so we aren't close to that beach anymore, but we did find the next best thing…..lure coursing! We've taken him to two events so far and he loves it. The night after his first event I think he even dreamed about it, cause he started running in his sleep, haha!
