  • Hi!
    Im new here! My name is Therese, 36 years old and i am from Sweden. Im the humble waitress ;-) to two red/white basenjis and two cats. (Sacred cat of burma)

    I enjoy to train my dogs for fun. Right now we are into blood tracking and both my dogs recently became approved in the blood tracking aptitude test.
    If you want to know more about us, we have a website listed in our profile which you all are welcome to visit.

    Have a nice day!!


  • Hi Therese and welcome to the forums!


  • Hello to you and welcome to this forum.
    My Eos is a half sister on the dam side to your girl Lisa! :)


  • Hej! Welcome to the forum…........hope you find it fun and informative.

    Enjoy!


  • Welcome! What great fun tracking must be with your dogs :)


  • Hello Therese, me too inn. Must say the people and the dogs are very kind with new members here ;-)
    Our favorit is L-C as you perhaps allready know and we have our own maskin too. Our big star was Aliz, so sad she is gone forever. Allan is to old but the 3 Whipps loves it.

    Best regards from Inga-Karin / Abrinkens


  • Thank you all for the nice welcome! :)

    Yes it´s fun to track with my dogs. I took a course in tracking and by curiousity I wanted to see how the other breeds worked in their tracks. I have to say that I at first thought my dogs tracked too slow. All the others (cocker spaniels, labradors and golden retrievers etc) went on like crazy, with a risk to get off track. But when the test came the judge said my dogs tracked with great precision, and by others Ive heard that its typical for a basenji to be so accurate.
    Ive also been into Lure-Coursing and agility and hope to do more of that too.

    So Inga-Karin, hope to see you in a field sometime! :)


  • Hello!! That's so fun!!! I've been looking for relatives to my Lisa and websites about basenji in France and havent found much!! Your basenjis are lovely!!
    Wish you a great weekend!! :-)
    /Therese, Lisa and Otis

    Please research the health problems in Basenjis especially Fanconi Syndrome! There is a DNA cheek swab test for it and I believe it only costs $75. If your dog has not been tested and is over two years old, she needs to be strip tested for glucose in the urine monthly until you have the DNA test done and obtain the results. Untreated Fanconi Syndrome will kill a dog! Here is a webpage that explains health problems in Basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=155&Itemid=292 Jennifer

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    Sorry if we sound so disagreeable … but it is so important that the health of our breed is #1 on everyones list and that everyone understands and does as much health testing as possible before breeding... especially since we have genetic problems that we can't test for, the family tree becomes our only way of knowing what we might expect... and it is only fair to people thinking about getting a Basenjis as a family companion that they know what they might expect..... Everyone should visit the BCOA Health site (www.basenjihealth.org) and learn what is being done to find genetic testing and what everyone can do to help
