Even the felted basenjis are naughty

  • You made this? Way cool!

  • Wow, agilebasenji, I did not realize you actually make those things yourself. They are awesome!

  • I love it, the eyes are realy great and look quite guilty :D

  • Thanks guys. Yes, I do sell them, but this one is already spoken for and is on her way to her new home.

    I don't even want to know how much time went into this one. She's a bit bigger than I usually do. I think they usually take 10-12 hours, this one, I'm sure, was beyond that. I'd love to do a 1/2 life or full life size.

    I don't know how much time it would take Zest to un-felt one. She doesn't seem too attracted to the felted basenji as much as she likes the "toys" I make for the felted basenjis. She wanted the ball I made for the one before this, and clearly wanted the other sock I felted for this one.

    You can see some more of my "woolies" and other items here:

    One of these days I'm going to put together a website.

  • Well, I want 2 b's when you have them.

  • They are lovely, I would like one as well, and a podengo…(?), and a dachshund and a mutt schnauzer/yorkie mix....

  • They all are great and I want one and a monkey. My son has been collecting monkeys all his life stuffed, glass anything monkey last count just stuffed monkeys he had 125.
    I am in no hurry just when ever let me know how much please. Thank you great job.

  • Here's the info in the classified section

    Prices for a 5-7" woolie is $100 ballpark. (although the woolie may grow a little larger unless you specify, they do some things on their own.) I can match markings (if I have a few pictures) and they do make a nice memorial piece. I've included some real dog hair on the memorial piece I did a while back, but this is harder to do with a basenji.

    A monkey - hmmmm, sounds like a fun challenge. What kind of monkey? I've been wanting to do a human-ish type creature. Was thinking fairy or dwarf, but monkey may qualify.

    For more info, you can email me at the email listed in the bottom of the post linked above. (I don't think our forum owners like personal email here?) Just put woolie or basenji in the subject. Otherwise I'm the only Kim McNeill in Colorado in the BCOA membership.

  • @Kananga:

    I must also ask, how long does it take a B to destroy one? :o

    The stuffing isn't all over the floor! :confused:

  • Way too cute!

    @creambasenji Please start a new topic/thread in Member Introductions when you upload an image of your "cream" basenji. That way, more people will see it. (thanks!)

    @xjole said in Does my Stella have some Basenji in her?: She has the wrinkled brow, upright erect ears, white markings on feet, chest, and tip of curled tail. Her preferred way of communicating is a song-like low howl, although she can bark. She hates getting wet and her prey drive is HIIIGH. She is very reserved and cautious, although that might be due to her stray status before I adopted her. Others have commented that she looks like she has some Corgi or Shiba Inu in her, and while I do see it, I see more of the Basenji temperament in her. I've asked her vet about the DNA testing, but I've been told that it is very unreliable, so I thought I'd ask other Basenji owners what they thought! The Wisdom Panel DNA tests have been getting better every year, so it's not as much of a gamble as it used to be. That said, the test does best with a purebred, then with a two-breed dog (like a "labradoodle" or whatever), and worst with a total mutt. If your girl is indeed a mix of two purebred dogs, it might be worth a shot. Check your pet store or Amazon for the test; the one that vets give is the most expensive anyway and is only worth it if you want to know about hereditary health issues, too.

    No idea, sometimes with mixes it's so hard to tell what the parentage is. I do think that your dog's head is a bit more refined than many of the pit mixes i've seen.
  • Not a basenji, but…

    After striking out with my first 2 B's I figured I'd give my other love a try! She is wonderful so far, potty training is kicking our butt..as with any puppy. We have only had her a week yesterday so I'm sure this is gonna be fun! She is giving us (my gf and I, our 3 cats and Sid) a run for our money! Sid is very jealous though, which is what we wanted. We need him to desire attention instead of just laying around all day long. Wish us luckkkk with the ol' man.

    We got Killian from a breeder in Ohio–-Jim Edgerton. That's where he had gotten our previous male basenji. We took Logan and Jasmine to his place and looked at several 1 year olds and a puppies and Jasmine eliminated the others and we agreed with her pick.
  • Basenji or not??

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.
