Hello from South Africa

  • Hi all,

    My name is Danni and my husband and I are from Cape Town, South Africa.

    We have been carefully considering getting a Basenji for about 2 years now, learning all we could about the breed, the history and the antics that they bring into their homes :)

    Throughout our research, we have found that there are no KUSA (Kennel Union of South Africa) registered breeders for Basenji at all, and none that we have found in North, West or East Africa either.

    I've joined this forum to ensure that when we do get our puppy next year, that we have a good place to ask advice, share stories and generally have a Basenji mad community to relate too!

  • Please see my previous message and also my response to your direct email to me about this.

    @alay Google Northern Basenji Society. On the website you will find contact email addresses. Nothing available for this year now but you might find a breeder and get onto a waiting list for 2022

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!

    Welcome and kudos to you for helping with rescues! It sounds like Kowboy was a great introuction to the breed. I'm sorry for your loss of him and Indy. this is a great place to share and keep memories alive. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy relocation back to your family in CA!
