    I want to move away from my hometown to a new small town, possible a new state and will know no one.

    Yes, if I spent my life spamming boards instead of getting a job and having self-respect, I'd want to do that too.

  • Welcome to the forum!

  • Hello fellow basenji lovers. My name is Denise, I live in Louisiana with my 3 dogs. I have a basenji mix named Ginger that is 17yrs old. She adopted me in 1995, literally walked up to my house & knocked on the door! I adopted 8 year-old basenji Candy in 2002 and had her for 6 wonderful years before I sadly had to humanely euthanize her . I adopted 3 y.o. Lucy (mix) in February & then 3 weeks ago adopted 3 y.o. basenji Rusty. I will post pics of my beautiful babies soon. Glad to be here!!!

  • Denise, welcome!

  • Welcome Denise! I look forward to seeing pictures of your babies.

    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    I wouldn't recommend getting a basenji until you've organized your new schedule with baby. basenjis are wonderful dogs, but require a lot of attention and stimulation. If you can't provide that, he could become a frustrated dog and cause mischeif. I've also read that they aren't the best with children. I haven't had the best experience with my basenji and daughter. It has a lot to do with the fact that we can't give him sufficient attention and exercise like he needs. he also hasn't adjusted to my daughter's presence either. that may not be a problem for you because you're having baby first then dog. they say its always a plus because it allows the child to establish a dominence over the dog, since child was there first. i don't want to be a sour apple, but i just want to let families with children know that it can be difficult and dangerous if proper care isn't given. its also unfair to the precious breed if they cant have the active life they need and crave.
