    We had to put our dear Rosco to sleep earlier this week so I still feel I am a basenji parent albeit a grieving one. Rosco was a handsome red and white 13 1/2 year old and though healthy most of his life, in the end had seizures, tremors, and a terrible cough about 1/3 of the time and confirming evidence of heart trouble. He was handsome to the end and a wonderful family member, We love looking at basenji pictures and knowing that other families are learning about the wild, wonderful world of living with a basenji! I have to admit, we do laugh at the questions from "newbies" – "is this normal?" Ha ha! Nothing about basenjis is quite like any other dog! When you look into your basenji's mischievous, warm brown eyes, know that you can only expect the unexpected!

    Sorry to hear about Rosco, he sounds like he was a wonderful pet, friend and family member.

    Welcome to the forum, enjoy all the fun. Is another in the future plans?

    Terribly sorry to hear of your loss. Maybe one day you will add another B to the family. I don't know how I ever lived without one.

    Thanks to all for the warm welcome of basenji owners! We're taking a year off of dog ownership to welcome a foster kid. Actually, we would have liked to foster earlier but our basenji boy was not especially fond of kids, and running activity tended to result in him biting someone in the hiney! Our kids, grown now, will definately be basenji owners someday. Don't know whether my husband and I will or not – we loved Rosco but know we got a good basenji, and don't know if we're ready to lose another room full of furniture to break in a new one! Ha!

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    @edo_a my email address is in the websites in my signature block. Please send me a .jpg and I will add it. I hope some of the siblings will be registered and that I can add them. But it is important they be tested for PRA too. So if you can make contact with any of them, it would be helpful to suggest it to them

    Mallia is the third Basenji we have the pleasure of having in the last 30 years. She is a female where as the first two were males.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    @WriggleysMom: We've always had rescues and I feel like I've missed out on puppy antics, so I'm debating. Toby doesn't baroo or wag his tail and I really miss being met at the door with a welcome baroo and a tail trying to wag itself off!! I had a puppy and was getting the urge for another but now we have a 7-mo old foster and I can't take my eyes off her. I remembered I really did not miss that!
