  • Good evening my Name is Jenne and I own a Basenji her name is Bella
    I like to call her bellaboo or boobie. I Love my little girl she is a little over a year old and I tghink I have done pretty well so far but can always use advice ;)

    I am excited to chat with other Basenji owners and learn more about her and the breed

  • Welcome to the forum!! Thats a very cool name. Considering your post does not include the word HELP I assume you are doing a great job!!! You will find the best advice and good friends here.. Send us some pictures!!!!

  • hi Jenne and Bella -glad to have you here! Pull up a chair, loads of great information here from wonderful people. Any pictures you can post of Bella?

  • @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.

  • Hi and welcome. We need pictures!

    You'll see a lot of spammers here (drop ship and china in links) Ignore them. :)

  • I am new to forums and the way they work lol but i will get better in time.

    I have uploaded a few pictures of Bells I hope you can see them she is a very small basenji she is 17 pounds and is full grown.

  • 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! :) :)

  • 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.

    Welcome to the forum. Great story too. I especially like the description of your other dog "Betty the Sheprador Chowtriever ." That's Funny! My basenji/whippet mix also came from a local shelter. She wasn't there long enough, or perhaps they didn't know much about bs, but they only had her listed as whippet mix. Didn't take long for a dog savy friend of mine to mention the word "basenji." No doubt in my mind, she is basenji and something. I picked her out and my mother paid for her. Best Christmas present I ever got!

    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.
