On the flip side of this conversation can the breeders or owners recommend or suggest what they think Is a reasonable distance in walking an older basenji. My B turned 14 this past January. She always loved her walks - in her prime we’d do 4-5 miles a day. This past summer I noticed I had to walk her early in the morning or early evening due to the heat.This past fall we were doing about 2-3 miles per day and she was always eager to walk. Once winter hit, it was very sporadic and limited - depended on the weather. It was the first winter that she would refuse to go for a walk if there was snow out it was too cold. Once weather got better, we started walking again but have only been doing about 1 mile per day. There are many days she stops dead outside the door wanting to go back in if it’s too cold (I always dress her w/ a sweater or jacket if it’s cool). She enjoys her walks and doesn’t have any physical restrictions except for her age. Otherwise, I feel she is still spry, active, alert, and maintains a reasonable weight. I forget that she’s old except for the fact that she has a white face.
Name that pup!

I like that to!

Very nice…I'm sure her name will emerge! Keep us posted!

OH I LOVE THAT!!!…and Lacy for short right?!

Lacy sounds like a perfect name!

You realize if you take my suggestion & name her "Lacy" she's really MINE
lol -

lolWell, since you posted "Lacy" first . . . but I thought Lacy, short for Legacy would be a sweet name too.

She's a real sight. How about secret echo? She takes my breath away to look at her. She is awsome!

Funny you should say that…...
When I was selecting a kennel name to use, I wanted something reasonably short, easy to spell and pronounce, and easy to remember. My name is Robyn and the Basenjis are true hoodlums so Sherwood it was! :p
haha, i know i am late. but that is REALLY clever! Robin hood's Sherwood Forest. Very clever!!

Okay worried–- no posts from Robyn since the 29th of Aug, no response to my email about potential home. Has anyone heard from her?

You could use Secret Window… then you could call her Winnie!!

I havent heard from her. No. Has anyone else?? I hope she is ok!

I like Secret Echo, call name "Echo."

Robyn posted on a Facebook today, so perhaps she is just busy with other things.
