  • Hello to everyone. This is great, finally a place where crazy basenji people can converse about the great breed we have. Well to introduce myself, I am also staff at Basenji Park, along with basenjiboy and dogtravler. My duties there are physical training and grounds keeping. I also go along with dogtravler to some of the shows where i am kennel staff (dog walker). I own some and coe own some of the 6 basenji we have, not sure which ones anymore lost track after the 4th one. I also am in charge of many other creatures at Basenji Park, we also have a smooth fronted caiman, a number of turtles,tortioses, and lots of fish. The caiman and the turtles are housed in lake Basenji (a pond in the basement). I will post some pics of the other residents of Basenji Park. Basenji has posted most all the pics of the dogs so i will post some of the others.

    Welcome, and so glad to see you respect a dog enough to do some research before getting one. I LOVE that attitude! Stick around - there is tons of great info here and everyone cares about the breed SO much! :)

    What a sweet little boy–having a non-basenji sister/brother is great, it gives them a "positive role model"!

    At 18 months and 7lbs I very much doubt that he's got Basenji in him but who knows. It doesn't matter,- he's a delightfulchap and good to have you both on here. Looking forward to more pictures.

    Great to have you and Gizzmo here with us. I can't wait to see some pictures! Regarding potty/pee training, do you have a command word to use to let Gizzmo know it's his pee time? We use 'hurry hurry'. Just remember that he'll need to pee after sleeping, eating and play times. In a thread awhile back, it was said that a dog at 5 months 'should' be able to hold their pee for 6 hours. The rule for that is taking their age and adding 1, hence Gizzmo could hold for 6 hours. At 5 months, I was setting the alarm for around 5:30 in the morning to get up and let Kipawa out. Eventually he was the one that let me know that he didn't want to be woken at 5:30 a.m. So, I decided to trust him, and he didn't let me down. No accidents. Gizzmo will be there in no time. Time flies when you have a basenji! :)

    Wow, that was pretty awesome of you to take care of the sick pup and bring her back to health! No, my cats are not sphynx. One is your typical house cat and the others are himalayans. We are praying that our next puppy is healthy and normal as we have not had much luck with dogs here lately.
