I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.

Is your Avongara from the Risha x Kasabu litter? If so then my half AF, Sophie is a cousin. Sophie's sire is Avongara Cole of Brushy Run, http://www.basenji.org/african/Cole.htm

That is great! Good choice!

Hi Fela!! Welcome to the Forum!!
I have 2 EL DORADO dogs!! They are great breeders. I'm sure you're gonna have lots of fun with your new pup. I may have met your little one already as I saw a couple of the El Dorado litters some time ago.
I'd love to see pics of your litte one.

The more I learn, the more fun it is and I was never that interested in dog shows. I'm just starting to understand just what they're looking at.:eek:
He is a really nice dog.:)
