The Basenji Owners Manual

Basenji Talk
  • Finally, my BOM came in the mail. I already read it front to back. It has a medical insert regarding Fanconi to reference for myself and for vet's who may be unfamiliar with diagnosis and treatment. That is a great idea. It is interesting read. Some of it relates to young puppies and training of which I am past that point now but very beneficial. If only Duke came with this manual . . . At only $8 it would be very wise for every new Basenji owner to be given this manual before or when they pick up their puppy or rescue - for the everyone's well being.

  • Thanks for the endorcement.
    This book is great for the price.
    It is really for puppy buyers, but I tell anyone who has NOT owned a basenji that this is a very good workbook.
    Hopefully, anyone who is new to the breed, or thinking of having puppies will get one and put it in a bag with the items they send home with a new puppy.
    Hope everyone has a very good fri the 13~

  • Is there a way to get this FEDEX :)

  • Sorry to be so late in replying.
    I work at the Post office and we all know what that is like now, with the holiday season taking off.
    As far as I know, they do the mailing through the PO, but if you really need it sooner, ask if they can send it fed ex.

  • Am I able to get this book shipped to Canada?

  • I don't know,but I would tell you to go to the site and ask.
    If they can't, then I will send one up to you.

  • Does anyone know where i can get this book in the UK please?

  • I think it's made by a local B club (Washington, right??) in the US… so I imagine you have to order directly from them.

    I'll bet you can get a US forum member to ship ya one ;)

  • @thunderbird8588:

    Does anyone know where i can get this book in the UK please?

    Yes, I be interested in a copy too. :)

  • I have emailed the Evergreen club and they will ship the manual to the UK at a cost of $8.00, you pay by paypal. Kay who sent me the email has said to let her know when paypal has been used as they dont always inform her.
    I am going to send for one in the next few days.

  • Have sent for my book, can hardly wait, all we need now is the Basenji :)

    My Rosa wrote the "How To Be a Basenji DIVA" manuscript - as many rules there were, it was so worthy of a 'script' at the end! She, and all her offspring, had spring and fall heats, but I only bred her once in the spring. That produced one puppy, my Captain. She always ruled over her pups, except when Captain came along - she did what HE said when he was about 2 weeks old!

    Thank you for thinking of the puppy's needs. Please, contact the breeder first if you signed a contract. Responsible breeders have contracts, nearly all requiring you contact them if things don't work out. They may have other homes waiting already. If the breeder sold you the puppy without a contract, then there are a few here looking for a puppy that might be interested. Make sure you get references and vet references so that your puppy goes to a home, not someone wanting to use him for breeding in some puppymill. If you can't find a good home and you are willing to place without being paid, BRAT can be helpful in screening and getting into a good home in most cases. California has a separate basenji rescue also... http://www.basenjirescue.com/ ... however, I have no idea if they do fanconi testing. If your pup does not have clear parents, or at least one clear, please get him tested before you place him. A home getting a dog with a genetic disorder is more likely to abandon it if they don't know upfront what they are getting. If you have the parents' registration numbers or names, it is easy to verify if they were tested.

    Yes, they are "naturals" for basenji ownership. Admiration of your basenji's cleverness is a wonderful point of view!

    Our boys don't touch human food at home, when I put my dinner at the couch next to Buana or chaufuko they won't look up… :D Also when we aren't in the room they won't steal food from the table (thank god because they should be really fat already thanks to the cats and Ryan) When it's on the floor, they will steal it :D
