    @aneesmno:

    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, Jenne and Bella! I have a Becca and a Lola… sometimes I mix up their names and they both become Bella too! :)

    She's a beautiful girl... MacPack, take a peek... she's black and white! :) :)

    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!!!

    Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases. ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies. Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller! Best of luck to you!

    @Rita: Pat yes we did get Jaycee's AKC application at the time we got her. Have not got cert back yet as we were really slow in her name made us slow in mailing. Rita Jean Great, it would be good if you gave Sally W the information for her website to update the pedigrees. Many of us rely heavily on the pedigree site when thinking about breeding and researching dogs…. You can do contact Sally at Zande Basenjis (just do a seach for her website and drop her an email with the info)....

    Of course you and your beautiful baby are welcome no snobbs here. And I do agree there's a B in there. Your baby is really sweet looking, enjoy. I also have a rescue and believe me they give back a thousand times more then what you give them.

    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.
