It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

"Free" Basenjis =/

well, tonight I was browsing around looking at basenji puppies online, (not because I want another
3 is my limit :p I just get bored and can't resist the cute puppy faces:o) Anywho, I was on puppyfind.com and came across this :The title is "Free, 4 Left" they are 5 months old and i guess they just want them gone so bad they will GIVE them away,
Just thought i'd share..
-
No surprise…. here... many BYB's are having problems placing pups this year with the current conditions.... that is what happens when you breed for profit... when the profit is gone... you need to dump the product
-
Does anyone have a membership to see who the seller is? I forwarded the link to BRAT in the hopes the dogs don't get dumped but I can't see who the seller is without paying.
-
yeah, I know i have a username and that but i think you have to pay to see the whole thing. I know Kathy (khanis) has a 3 year old on there shes trying to rehome maybe if she sees this she can help..
