Welcome Ann and Noel. You've got a very handsome boy there. Kudos for adopting a rescue B..

Welcome Ann! Noel is a beautiful black and white too. Yes, the forum is very helpful. I went 31 years and 3 Basenjis with no forum. I had no help in the 70s and 80s and in the 90s I some help from my breeder friend in NY through letters or phone calls. We all did great! Now with my forth I'm seeing things people and their Basenjis are going through that I went through. But this new rescue I have is different then the other 3 so I have the forum for new problem help. By the way I have a friend here in the Bay Area that grew up in Redlands. I got my new rescue from Medfly as well back in May.

Welcome Ann and Noel, he's gorgeous :)

He's beautiful! I just rescued my first basenji a couple of months ago. But I have been a basenji owner for over 17 years. Do love the unique breed! It just gets better…..

Welcome to the forum Ann! He's very handsome! He's got that too smart for his own good expression, hehe.

Edit. SHE is very pretty. Whoops.

Thanks for the welcomes. It's fabulous to see your replies from around the world.

And I must agree with you. Noel is gorgeous! We hadn't thought about getting a B&W until we met her…Oh, Noel's a she not a he. Accent on the second syllable. She was born in November, so I bet her original family named her with the Christmas season in mind.

I will tell the "expensive" story eventually. It may require a couple glasses of wine first, and I'll have to find the proper forum category. Is there one for stupid human behavior?

That would probably best go into "Basenji Story Swap".

What a pretty girl. And I predict it won't be long before you have 2 basenjis.

Probably post it in "Story Swap"…now we have to hear it with a lead-up like that! Ha, ha. :D

Hey Ann. I am with you. I didn't know a thing about basenjis either. I got mine from the shelter and didn't even know what I had until the vet told me. Then I was like.. a bas-who-da-waht???? Now, I'm like proud to tell anyone on the street…he's a basenji...yep. And we should all have badges for the love we put into these strange and fabulous little friends.

[Rita Jean]

I will take the badge but all the love they give us back and the stories they give us from everyday life will work for my badge. Candiejohn looks like you ready for lots of fun.
