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.

Hi friends-
We recently rescued Nina at 15 mos, only to realize the "make and model" of dog we were getting wasn't accurate. Having best guessed at her lineage we'd like to see some pictures any of you may have posted, of your Basenji/Sheperd mix. I'm having a heck of a time sizing and loading my pictures. That said, I'm hoping for tomorrow. Many thanks-

Well, Welcome to the Forum. We can't wait to see pictures of your B/Shepard mix.
-
I'd love to get these up on the site. I'm really open to any guidance on getting these pictures to the BF - I'd welcome any thoughts . I seem to be able to see the reduced size picture through Image Shack, but I don't know what I'm suppose to do with it at that point. I deal with attachments in business everyday, but this is new to me.

If you have the images on ImageShack, just copy the IMG tag listed on each photo and then paste into a reply post here. I was a little boggled by this earlier this week and got some good tips. I'll find that info and put it here in a sec.
