  • I'm new…I just wanted to introduce myself and such...
    My name is Kayla,
    I don't have a basenji, but I'm on a waiting list for one for next fall...
    I have a med-sized mutt right now he is my joy (he's actually just a little bit bigger than a basenji, he might be much bigger when he's fully grown though and he has a wrinkly forehead..if only he had standing ears instead of floppy, lol) and he loves dogs and I really want a playmate for him...

    I also have a bengal, he was at first a little scared of dogs but now he loves to play and cuddle with my pup.

    I had a basenji when I was really young, but don't remember too much.
    I think they are the most adorable and fun dogs someone can own.
    One of my neighbors has one and our pups play together....I cannot wait to get another one!
    Thanks for Reading my post!

    Whose waiting list are you on?

    Oh, and welcome!!!:D

  • Welcome! You should post a picture of your mutt! :)

  • Welcome, lots of good help here for you to learn about our lovely dogs.

  • @BooKoo:

    I also have a bengal, he was at first a little scared of dogs but now he loves to play and cuddle with my pup.

    I'm assuming you mean a cat, not a tiger. :D If you get a puppy, the cat and a basenji should be fine. An adult B meeting a cat for the first time will typically give chase. Cats run from dogs, typically, and basenji's chase anything that runs away, including people. :)

  • yeah. Mia just likes to chase our cat around.
    where as rocky tries to eat her. (rocky was a year old when he came here)

    haha and i thought tiger when i saw that but i thought, hmm.. thats not right. lol :p

  • My puppy had never really been around cats but he's very good with my bengal. (lol yes it's a cat not a tiger I don't think they allow tigers in lofts.)

    Also I work with a trainer who trained her dog, whom she just got from a rescue who used to eat cats to sleep with her 3 cats she currently has.
    It was a miracle
    she's like the dog whisperer lol
    I've seen her work with the most aggressive dogs and they turn out to be the sweetest pets ever!

  • Bengals are very cool cats indeed.:)

    Welcome to the forum, enjoy the fun and information.:cool:

    Who says dogs can't play with tigers? :D

  • oh my god. lol

    who knew.

    I got a 15 week old puppy when my female was 8 and my male was 5. Both were happy to have a puppy around. They all spent hours chasing each other and the squirrels in the back yard around. Fortunately my puppy didn't pick up my female's habit of digging up the back yard.

    @gneigum: Thank you for the compliments to my dogs. There is not much that I can share about them, as they have only been in our home about three months, although my wife & I agree that it seems like they've been here all their lives. We were blessed to become aquainted with Simone Gaudet - www.beaubri.com - who gave us the lead. The dogs names are Nathaniel (6 in Jan. 09)pedigree at http://www.beaubri.com/Nate.html & Callie (5 in Nov. 08)pedigree at http://www.terrarust.com/pedigree-callie.html. They are, for the most part, very well behaved, & have adjusted extremely well to our home. Callie is like a bossy sister to Nate, & lets him know when she is unhappy with his presence. She is also very protective of her new home & I have to work with her to curb some agression issues with some visitors. Aside from that, we are enjoying them very much. I would enjoy hearing about your B(s) also. G Nate is my girl, Ruby's (Ch. Eldorado 'n Akuaba's Bejeweled) sire. :)
