Greetings from Athena and her family

Member Introductions
  • Hello everyone! I just found the Basenji forums yesterday, and I am so happy I did!

    We have one basenji, Athena, and she is a joy. Also a mystery and a pain in rear, but that's how they are!

    ^–--That's Athena in my avatar. Wearing her pink sweater (my daughter chose it) and lounging in the garden window.

    We also have a Fox Terrier, and 2 elderly cats.

    I am looking forward to reading all the information, and learning more about our crazy, wonderful dogs.

  • Welcome. Post some more pics. We love pictures. Your Athena looks adorable. I love the sweater.

  • Hello and welcome to the forum. Can't wait to see more pics.

  • Welcome! This is a fun, informative site…She looks adorable in her pink sweater! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your "family". My grandparents had a male Toy Fox Terrier while I was growing up...his name was Tiger, which was very appropriate - LOL! But he loved me!!

  • Hi Melissa,

    Welcome! Who is Athena's breeder?

  • WElcome Melissa & Athena!!!

  • Thanks for the warm welcome all!

    Athena was bred by Katie Campbell of Taji. Her fancy name is Taji's Profitable Annuity. Her parents are Taji's Trinidad Tradewind (sire) and Taji's Go For Baroque (dam).

    She is a bit on the small side and has some gait issues (she lifts her front feet like a Lippizaner - we thinks it's cute), so she is a not a show dog. She is content to run the household from her little patch of sunshine!

    I will definitely post more pictures, as soon as I find the transfer cord for the camera….:)

    Yay! I thought that was the Athena that I know!! We have her sister, Bella (Ch Taji's Closing Bell at Quercus JC) she is in my avatar, and also in some pics in my member album…oh, and at my website if you want to see more of her :) I think we met at the Evergreen Basenji Club specialty the year the girls were puppies?

  • We did meet at the Basenji Specialty! Bella was so cute sitting on your lap. I know I have a picture of all 4 pups lined up somewhere from that event.

    I wondered if that was the Bella I knew! Good to 'meet' you again!

  • Welcome to both of you!

    Welcome, and so glad to see you respect a dog enough to do some research before getting one. I LOVE that attitude! Stick around - there is tons of great info here and everyone cares about the breed SO much! :)

    Wow, that was pretty awesome of you to take care of the sick pup and bring her back to health! No, my cats are not sphynx. One is your typical house cat and the others are himalayans. We are praying that our next puppy is healthy and normal as we have not had much luck with dogs here lately.

    Hi cmd - My name is Jill and I am the recipient of a rescued male puppy, Duke, who I have since learned (after 4 months) is a Basenji, now 8 mos. old. I love this forum, because I have learned alot about this breed. I now realize that Basenjis are a challenge, but I believe the more I know, the easier he will be for me and my family. There is no turning back now because we are in love with Duke . Select "Bonnie Bell" a 10 month old female (from Emerant's the Instigator and Select in my Pocket) and "Ramsey" Geheep's Klassic Jim a 11 year old male (Klassic Eye of the Tiger and Baruh's Jessica Hahnd) Wish I knew where Duke's blood lines run. You must be proud. I am new at this and I love to read the stories and learn that I am not crazy! I am glad you're a veteran as are many forum friends here. I love the stories about the Basenji's extraordinary body of energy and their purposes. Can you guess why my handle is Crazy Duke? I can tell you about some unbelievable stories about Duke since bringing him home already. (That's why I'm glad to find this forum - Duke's not crazy, he's a Basenji.) She was an awesome dog and was very very loyal. I am so sorry for your loss. But the only comfort we have is knowing she had a great life being in your life. I've lost many doggies over the rainbow to squirrel heaven. I hope you'll share some more stories and help us new-B's here on the Basenji Forum.
