    What a relief to find others who lead Basenji-centered lives! We live to adore our three - Blue, a one year old red & white perfect boy, Echo a one year old tiger-stripe red brindle rescued from a tupperware box in a field, and Merlin our 5 year old Basenji-Chihuahua mix (and what a mix he is!). We live happily on the Big Muddy River in Southern Illinois and would love to make lots of Basenji friends! What a great place for info, stories, & pictures about our very Best Friends. Kingmonty, refers to Monty, our beloved Basenji who passed away one year ago from Blastomycosis. It was he that came into our lives as a "free dog" on his way to the pound. He changed our hearts forever and made us true Basenji addicts.
    Thank you for this community, we hope to be able to add our love, stories, and knowledge about the breed we are all here to read about.

    I sure would love to be your basenji friend. I am from WV and there are not many Basenji slaves around here… So this forum is a great place for me to discuss Basenji issues and meet new people!

    I wouldn't recommend getting a basenji until you've organized your new schedule with baby. basenjis are wonderful dogs, but require a lot of attention and stimulation. If you can't provide that, he could become a frustrated dog and cause mischeif. I've also read that they aren't the best with children. I haven't had the best experience with my basenji and daughter. It has a lot to do with the fact that we can't give him sufficient attention and exercise like he needs. he also hasn't adjusted to my daughter's presence either. that may not be a problem for you because you're having baby first then dog. they say its always a plus because it allows the child to establish a dominence over the dog, since child was there first. i don't want to be a sour apple, but i just want to let families with children know that it can be difficult and dangerous if proper care isn't given. its also unfair to the precious breed if they cant have the active life they need and crave.
