I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.
Hi from Taariq in Sweden!

Hi all!
I'm a new B owner, live in Stockholm/Sweden and have had Taariq for three months now. Previously, I've had cats, and I've heard that cat owners make good B owners.
Taariq is eight months old now, brindle, and to 67% of the Avongara bloodline. He's soft and gentle and very smart (of course, as his mum, I think he's extremely clever! LOL), would do anything for treats (if he thinks the treat's tasty enough, of course), and loves playing in the dog park with his pals Alice (tri-color
and Sigge (a chocolate lab).Here's a recent family portrait of my partner, me and Taariq (the poser
).
