Basenji Park

  • Oh BBoy your basenji's must be so proud of their owner :D you've done an amazing job. You've even convinced me to try something similar altho MUCH SMALLER scale in our yard so that our B's can enjoy it more. We have a small yard but we want to fence it all in so that they can play & go potty here as opposed all over the neighborhood :eek: I like the clay & stones idea since this is the thing they hate most about going out is their feet…so picky these guys.

    When you do and it's complete, be sure to include pictures of C3PO and Topaz enjoying the new yard.;) With all the rain we've had here lately, all that stone and sand are keeping the mud out of my house.;)

    Greetings from Basenji Park.:)

    WOW:p : This very bautiful place:p Paradise for basenji:) :) :) I admire your effort and idea.

  • Ok now you need a covered potty run and send us the plans! I just had to stand out in the cold rain to MAKE ours go. For some reason they won't go in the rain unless I'm out there with them. If the neighbors wouldn't complain, I'd probably figure out how to! …I also want a double entrance into the fence -- like at dog parks. My wife looked at me like I had green goo coming out of my ears. It seemed like a good consideration... ohh, I could have a treat dispencer like at petting zoos for the kids!

    I haven't mastered the rainy day Basenji yet….....if I do, I'm writting a book and hope to be wealthy.:) :) Good luck with that;) HUH?

    Wacko dogs. But yet they like the snow.....go figure?

  • Oh thank goodness!! I was starting to think I might build an underground park for them if they were going to be just as bad about the snow as they are with the rain. C3 absolutely refuses to MOVE if it's raining. He's even tried to "fake" potty so that I can take him back inside.

    I thought the snow was going to be just as brutal. Finally something to look forward to.

  • that is one awesome yard! Our Tut & Zoe would have a blast in a yard that size.

  • Your yard is so beautiful and I am sure it keeps the Basenjis busy for hours. I live in a condo and wish I had a closed in fence area for Cali to run around. I try to take her to my brothers once a week so she can run around leash free.
    I am not sure if there are any Dog parks in Louisville, Ky area, but I will have to check. About the rain, I know this sounds strange, but if I use an umbrella when it is raining Cali will go out and do her business quickly. She hates to get wet and especially her feet. I live in a wooded area and there is a certain section that has a lot of leaves on the ground due to the seasons changing and she will stand on the leaves to potty. My neighbors look at me like I am crazy:)

    Crazy…...nah.:) Just a dedicated Basenji owner.;)

  • Your yard is like a person and 'senji paradise! VERY nicely done! How do you winter over so many tropicals? If you say you have a greenhouse I'm going to turn as green w/ envy as the Grinch! ;) :D Simply amazing and so breathtaking! You've done an amazing job!

  • Damn, Lux was looking over my shoulder and saw the B Park. He want's to know when we're going. THANKS ALOT! ;)

  • BB…Just let us all know when the Grand Openning is!!!!

  • Thanks Mark, welcome to the forum. Put your snow shoes on and trek on down to PA.:D Sadly it's not as nice and colorful at Basenji Park this time of year.:(
    It's a labor of love and I can't wait for the warm weather to return so I can plant more stuff!:eek:

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]

    No idea, sometimes with mixes it's so hard to tell what the parentage is. I do think that your dog's head is a bit more refined than many of the pit mixes i've seen.

    I agree with the others that although he seems to have Basenji in him - his head is def. not Basenji. As for the leg I'd have it amputated if it troubles him - He'll cope with 3 legs I'm sure, but certainly consult a specialist first. Please keep us updated.
  • What is my Basenji mixed with?

    We got Killian from a breeder in Ohio–-Jim Edgerton. That's where he had gotten our previous male basenji. We took Logan and Jasmine to his place and looked at several 1 year olds and a puppies and Jasmine eliminated the others and we agreed with her pick.
  • Basenji or not??

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
