    I never travel North Into NY.
    I don't drive well in cities,and traffic.
    I don't mind back roads and little traveled oads but
    I had a car accident 2 years ago that left me with
    severe PTSS and cars traveling behind me freak me out.
    So, I stick close to home and if I do travel it is south Jersey and into PA
    where the roads are not that bad.

    I'm sorry to hear about ur accident. I usually, actually pretty much ONLY drive on highways, as I live on one. I love them cause they are so direct. I understand your fear because when anyone other than myself drive on them with me I FREAKKK out. People in Jersey are terrible drivers but we feel we are the best lol. Anyway, I still hope we can work something out maybe meet around my town, seems half way from both of you but doesn't matter to me I am willing to travel I like going out a seeing new things and I want my little girl to have the same in a sense.

    Lake or Pine Park or Ocean County Park.

    Hi anniedny! I live in westchester, about 20 min from you, I have a 12 week old girl, we definately must meet up! What do you think?

  • A

    Sounds good. Where would we meet?

  • B

    I have to wait unil she has all her shots, I would think we would want to meet at a park somewhere, I am not sure how dexi would be off leash because she is either on a leash or in my fenced in backyard, how is your guy off the leash?

    Kennedy is never off leash. He is too curious and would run for anything he would see…. Let me know when she has had her shots and we can set something up.

  • B

    I never let dexi off leash either, just in my fenced in yard. It would be great if we could find a fenced in area but i am not sure. I will contact you after her next set of shots. Looking forward to meeting another basenji, i had a boy as a child!

    Hi Benti, my basenji is almost 5 months. Her name is Zoey. Do they allow dogs at Bear Mountian State Park? It would be nice to meet.

    0
  • B

    I am not sure if they allow dogs that would be great. I love only 10 min from there.. Is zoey good off the leash? I don't trust Dexi yet.. How can we find out if they allow dogs. I would love to meet..

    I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you had responded. I thought I'd get an email. Zoey is definately NOT good off leash. It would be great to find a fenced area…I know there is a dog park (with a small dog area) near me, but I don't know how you feel about driving. (I've commuted for years, so I'm used to it). I could probably call Bear Mountian the park to see if they allow dogs. I'm working tomorrow, but I'll try to find out on Tuesday.

    Also, there is some sort of an event in Woodstock, NY (beautiful town), sponsored by the Rip Van Winkle Basenji Club. I am totally new to all of this stuff, so I'm not sure what goes on there, but here is a link....I thought you might be interested. If I'm not working I may go just to check it out.

    Basenji Puppies in Qatar?

    @antigone said in Basenji Puppies in Qatar?: @debradownsouth I have a friend who lost 2 Austrailian Sheepdogs on a Delta Flight from LAX to JFK. Death in the Cargo Hold is more common than you think. Nope, they actually keep statistics. It is precisely as common as I think. Some Airlines treat Pets as Luggage and that is not right. So I must disagree with you regarding long Flights. The Vets recommend SEDATION for any pet that goes on a Plane. Nowhere to start with "treat as luggage" because what does that mean to you? How do you know? Is putting in cargo your idea of "treat as luggage" or is it something like abusive or uncaring? As for sedation on flying... you need new vets and to report those who tell you that. For anyone who thinks you are right, below is information based on facts: According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), sedating cats or dogs during air travel may increase the risk of heart and respiratory problems. Except in unusual circumstances, veterinarians should not dispense sedatives for animals that are to be transported. https://www.avma.org/public/PetCare/Pages/Traveling-with-Your-Pet-FAQs.aspx Also ""Q: Should I tranquilize or sedate my pet for long flights? A: It is recommended that you DO NOT give tranquilizers to your pet when traveling by air because it can increase the risk of heart and respiratory problems. Short-nosed dogs and cats sometimes have even more difficulty with travel. Visit our FAQs about short-nosed dogs and air travel for more information. Airlines may require a signed statement that your pet has not been tranquilized prior to flying. According to Dr. Patricia Olsen with the American Humane Association, "An animal's natural ability to balance and maintain equilibrium is altered under sedation and when the kennel is moved, a sedated animal may not be able to brace and prevent injury.""" FDA https://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/ResourcesforYou/AnimalHealthLiteracy/ucm352635.htm Sedatives: While sedatives may make your pet seem less stressed during car trips, these medications also have a tendency to dull the senses and lessen your pet’s ability to react to the environment, which can be dangerous in an emergency. When traveling by car or by plane, avoid giving your pet any type of sedative. If you think Champ or Freckles really needs a sedative to travel, talk to your pet’s veterinarian before your trip. Airlines: https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/travel/animals/procedures.html United supports the American Veterinarian Medical Association’s recommendation to not accept animals that have been sedated. United will not knowingly accept a dog or cat that has been sedated and accepts no liability for the death or sickness of an animal caused by any drug. PetAir UK Q. Can I sedate my pet before they fly? No. No and No. Those clever folks in the USA did a study on deaths of animals after flying and veterinary grade sedatives were implicated in around half of them, so it is banned. Secondly, there are no drugs which will work for the full length of the journey and no-one can guarantee how they will work with the air pressure changes and if they make your pets excitable or too sedated we don’t want that to happen. https://www.petairuk.com/faq-page#t16n175 I could post more but state by state vet assoc say the same thing.

    Over the weekend we competed in the Iron Dog ASFA trial with forum member Kirsten and Ariel. Our girls did excellent, both picked up their last placement. Sat tempest earned BOB, and Sun Ariel won the stake, we left for home before breed runoffs so did not hear I she or Searaha took BOB. Trog enjoyed running with his family as Susan and karen came to the trial Sat with the entire Apu paw pack. Great entry of 12 that day.
