    Hi there,

    I'm Melissa. Me and my husband, Bob, recently adopted a brother/sister pair of 5 month old pure Basenjis. My husband volunteers at the local Humane Society and saw the puppies posted online as available for adoption. I sent him there first thing the next morning! We had intended to just adopt the male, but the two were inseparable and the girl has some serious anxiety when her brother is too far away. So with an extremely brief look at each other and a shrug, we adopted both. We cannot believe someone surrendered a pair of pure Basenjis to the Humane Society, and can only think they really didn't know what they were in for. But still! Oh well, they are ours now and we are overjoyed!

    We had a Basenji/Terrier mix before and at the time we thought he was pretty Terrier-esque. After adopting these two hellhounds (said with much affection), we now realize he was a LOT more Basenji than we thought! At least we know what we were getting into!

    May I introduce you to Charlie Brown and Lucy Van Petme.

    @alay Google Northern Basenji Society. On the website you will find contact email addresses. Nothing available for this year now but you might find a breeder and get onto a waiting list for 2022

    @Patty: I just peeked too, and she is precious, that's for sure! They look like such angels when they are puppies that they really do look like babies. :) It's that innocence that captures our hearts and will later make us question our insanity, lol. Welcome to the Forum! This is so true @thunderbird8588: Hi re Fanconi, if you go onto the http://www.offa.org website you should be able to see the status of Cheyenne's sire and dam and hopefuly the pups too. You could also ask the breeder if the pups have been tested but the reccomendation is to check yourself as well on the ofa site. I will be looking into it. I am at work so I will have to check when I am out of work.. got the site saved looking to get all the info I can before she comes home.

    MacPack, where is Dogwood Park located? I haven't heard of it. I live in Orange Park and we have a fairly nice one here several miles from me. They too have a large pond and wooded area and plenty of seats, even a few hammocks for us humans. We have had a membership in the past; now we only go sometimes as a visitor.
