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.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. No Jala doesn't like water :rolleyes: very typical basenji! We take her to a dog park that happens to be next to a river and all the other dogs get right into the water of course and she will stop knee deep.
I will post some piccies of her playing in the dog park in the piccie section. -
At least she'll get her feet wet!! Welcome!

Welcome…I spent about 3 months in New Zealand in 1995 (came when NZ won the America's Cup). Your pictures are beautiful and brought back a lot of memories. A perfect place for a basenji
