Member Introductions
  • Lovely basenji…are you going to lure course her?

  • Nice looking dog - does she have much in the way of face wrinkles? Can't tell exactly from the photo - I think the wrinkles add so much to their expressions.

  • Welcome and thanks for saving her. We are just around the Sound from you so we hope to see you on the trails someday. More pictures please.

  • Yes, please, more photos!

  • We are on the other side of the water from you. Good luck with the newest member of your family!

  • Hello from Oregon! My bf and I just got our first basenji this year as well, a puppy in February. If you end up lure coursing maybe we will get the chance to meet sometime, or if you ever end up in the Portland area. Good luck with your girl, she's gorgeous!

  • pacificNWbasenji, are you going to the dog show this weekend?
    I will be there sat for sure!
    Maybe we can meet ringside.

  • We actually got a chance to get out of town this weekend, visiting family in Boise. I am happy to announce 15 week old Dude has been crated in the back of my 4runner for a 400 mile trip from Portland to Boise with potty breaks every hour and a half and hasnt made a sound! He is normally crated for 5 hours a day weekdays while I work and is quiet without accidents but I am amazed that he has done so well for 7 hours on the road. Cant wait to settle down and cuddle the puppy now :)

  • Hello & welcome from Canada. Nice girl you have & thanks for saving her.

    Welcome! She's lovely! I also see some podenco in her..

    Thank you! I think she does. At first, i thought she might be mixed with red nose pitbull, because of her eyes and snout. But after looking at some podenco pictures, i think that is what she is mixed with.

    This is almost exactly what she looks like, except she is a lot shorter.

    she doesn't have very many wrinkles on her face, probably lost that feature with her mix. but she definitely makes some cute expressions :D

    Welcome! What a cutie!! :) More pics! More pics!

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand. Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable. Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.

    They must all have that "something" lying latent(sp?) just waiting to emerge at who knows what time?!!! It's great fun!
