    @basi:

    It is bringing it up now on the database. Yes you are reading the pedigree right so Benji's parents were full brother/sister. This breeding wouldn't be allowed now by the KC as they have just brought in new rules to stop these matings.
    At least he ended up with a loving home for his last years:D

    Could have been an "opps" breeding… it happens to the best of breeders once in a while... I would hope that it was not done on purpose... that would lend to a poor temperament, especially if it was not that great of a temperament of the Mom and Dad. Also good reason to spay/neuter because it can happen to anyone. And if you are not diligent when they are season, this is the result.

    It could well have been as the sire is "at Brimsan" and they probably had the bitch also as she was homebred.

    In those days dogs were still sold in pet shops although I think it may not be legal now but I can't swear to that.
    The dog and bitch were the result of a mating between brother and sister but not from the same litter.
    Brimsan was / is a breeder of Rough Collies although I haven't seen any Basenjis from that kennel in a long while so they've probably decided to stick to Collies now!!
    It doesn't mean it was an accidental mating although if deliberate it was ill-advised because of the pedigrees in that line. The KC has banned such breedings but only, I believe, because of a knee jerk reaction to 'that' programme.

    I don't know of any puppies still for sale but if I hear of any I'll certainly let you know. Successful ex- Basenji owners are always welcome in my books as they have a wealth of previous experience which is always a bonus!

    Do you definitely want a new puppy or are you prepared to take on another rescue? I don't think that there are any in at present but if you are interested you could put your name down on their list.

    Hi Patty,
    Benji did have a quick temper but fortunately no health problems for most of his life.
    I would like to get a Puppy so that i could get in early with training.

    I can appreciate that you prefer a puppy. If he/she is 'trained' correctly there is no need for any temperament problems. In my experience, and it was certainly true in the early days when people thought that Basenjis should be as any other dog (and we all know they're not!) they're fine if treated with firmness and resolution and love of course.

    I know of many cases of dogs from kennels which were thought to rear Basenjis with bad temperaments where the new puppy owners never had these problems and vice versa. 'Nurture not nature', I feel.

    I feel sure that your previous Basenji had been incorrectly treated in the time before you had him.

    Looks like your Bing(remember the name from a calender I got year ago from the litter sire's owner) is my Thorn's(Midnight on the oasis with bredand) brother you should also check with Fanconi as Thorn as been DNA tested as affected, even if a 9 and 1/2 still not spilling glucose.
    I have near my desk a pic of Bing puppy running with a mouthfull of grass so cute.
    I am please I have found some basenji familly on this forum.

    I know that picture of Bing well - it hangs in pride of place in the hall. I can only guess how you came by it as I would think his breeder would have been the only person we gave a copy to!

    Thanks for the info re Fanconi. We will obviously keep that very much in mind.

    Hmmm… seems like we need a 23andMe solution for our pups. How bout we call it K9andme. I can remember most of my pups markings and have 100s of pics to refer to. That said they do change pretty fast. Our pup D’Otto was a split head with a nice dot right in white. It started as a dot and it’s still there! But it’s a bit more of an oval these days.

    I Just saw Basenji.co.uk is available for $100- thought someone here from uk might be interested

    Just wanted to give an update on my experience and hope that it helps others in the future. So I did get the puppy and have had her now for about 6-7 weeks. She is doing AWESOME! Shes completely healthy, and at 14-15 weeks, is incredibly obedient. For instance, I take her to the dog park, and she recalls every time I say "Nani come." There are also some agility obstacles in the park which I'm starting to train her on and she does really well with simple things like walking up, down, sitting, staying, gonig through the tunnels, etc… When I give her her food, I make her sit, stay, and give me a fist bump before she can eat, and I'll switch the order up every time. I then say "now you can have it" and then she eats. Its to the point now, where she is in the kitchen, and I'll go to my room, come back in 2-3min, and she is still sitting by the food and hasn't even touched it yet until I give the command. She is doing fantastic! Fantastic with other dogs, fantastic with kids, adults, everything. She doesn't have a tendency anymore either now to chew on things she's not supposed to and when she does get the urge, she looks for her toys. Not sure if this is just because the breed itself is very intelligent, or the breeder, or a mix of both but I couldn't have asked for a better puppy, especially the way she is now at the age of 14-15 weeks. My allergies also do very well around her whcih is HUGE! Not sure if I just got lucky or what, but she is great a puppy for how obedient she is already, her compassion, and her behavior. Just simply amazing :-)

    Jenny and Helena, thanks for your replies. It's always interesting talking to basenji people. The lady didn't mention the name of the bitch. She did say that Little Brown Jug went to live with someone on the Isle of White. She also said that she's never heard a Basenji yodel, unfortunately Kwame wouldn't perform for her.

    sigh Poor little basenjis. :( This makes me all the more happier that I bought from a great breeder (FoPaws) who made sure I knew about the breed and who stressed returning Kipawa for any reason should things not work out (sorry Therese and Kevin, you'll never get him back! :) ). And kudos to Sharron and everyone here who patiently answered all of my questions for almost a year, prior to me getting Kipawa. With FoPaws and all of you, I knew what to expect, and I was able to determine if the antics of a basenji were acceptable for our home. And they are - we laugh at them, and every night when we first get into bed with Kipawa, we thank Therese and Kevin for all the time they put into their breeding program and the training and socialization they worked on to make Kipawa a very special little man.

    I am very lucky, I do rescue and have support of many of the PNW breeders. I also have a very responsible breed club who take back any basenjis I find fall into rescue. I am also able to refer folks to quality breeders who have puppies, who don't want a rescue. So, win/win…and best of all the b's WIN!
