    My fiance Brian and I got our CoCoRosie on February 14th 2011, she was 10 weeks old, since we got her we have realized Basenji's are the dogs for us! Their active nature, curiosity and adorable disposition make them wonderful dogs, we did A LOT of research before getting a Basenji and were heartbroken to hear so many people return Basenji's because they just don't understand the nature of the breed :( We hope to meet other local Basenji owners through this forum. Basenji play date anyone?

    Welcome. Who did you get your Basenji from? Many of us are related by our Basenjis.

    And not only is it that people do not research the breed, they don't go to responsible breeders that screen people interested in the breed and educate them first.

    I got mine from miBre's Basenji in Homestead, Fl. The breeders are a wonderful caring family and they definitely quizzed us before showing us the puppies!!! Brian and I took about two to three weeks to read thoroughly and research illnesses an life expectancies. When we got to MiBre's they had a couple of pups left and our CoCo picked us!!! We love that she is very friendly and loves to cuddle! She is quite clever as well, definitely keeps us on our feet :)

    Welcome! If you are ever up Tampa way, we have a Sunday meet-up with anywhere form 6 or 8 to 20 basenjis in a large, shady dog park.
    Welcome to the Forum, we need to see photos of CoCoRosie.

    She is gorgeous! There are some good doggie Daycare places here in Tampa, I don't know of any right near Busch Gardens though. We have Camp BowWows (near the airport) and a place called Fuzzy Buddies (near Ybor City).

    Thank you for the welcome. Also, for the advice. He seems to be okay around the horses for the moment. One of the mares gave him a bit of a stink eye and he moved out of the area quite quickly all on his own. He loved the trimmings of the hooves left by the farrier :) I did post a few photos that our daughter took on the Show Off section.

    What a sweet little boy–having a non-basenji sister/brother is great, it gives them a "positive role model"!

    DukeD
    Hi cmd - My name is Jill and I am the recipient of a rescued male puppy, Duke, who I have since learned (after 4 months) is a Basenji, now 8 mos. old. I love this forum, because I have learned alot about this breed. I now realize that Basenjis are a challenge, but I believe the more I know, the easier he will be for me and my family. There is no turning back now because we are in love with Duke . Select "Bonnie Bell" a 10 month old female (from Emerant's the Instigator and Select in my Pocket) and "Ramsey" Geheep's Klassic Jim a 11 year old male (Klassic Eye of the Tiger and Baruh's Jessica Hahnd) Wish I knew where Duke's blood lines run. You must be proud. I am new at this and I love to read the stories and learn that I am not crazy! I am glad you're a veteran as are many forum friends here. I love the stories about the Basenji's extraordinary body of energy and their purposes. Can you guess why my handle is Crazy Duke? I can tell you about some unbelievable stories about Duke since bringing him home already. (That's why I'm glad to find this forum - Duke's not crazy, he's a Basenji.) She was an awesome dog and was very very loyal. I am so sorry for your loss. But the only comfort we have is knowing she had a great life being in your life. I've lost many doggies over the rainbow to squirrel heaven. I hope you'll share some more stories and help us new-B's here on the Basenji Forum.
