Basenji Talk

  • Jasper's brother Talon, and Raven's Brother Grinner are coming to Basenji Park for a visit on Fri and will stay with us through next week.:eek: :D Darn relatives anyway!:rolleyes:

    5 males and 3 females???:eek: :eek: :eek:

    All 8 won't be together at one time…....;)

    Should be an active week.:cool: The Basenji B&B is closer to reality than I think.:D


  • Oh my! My BP is rising just thinking about it ;) Have fun!


  • @Quercus:

    Oh my! My BP is rising just thinking about it ;) Have fun!

    Yeah, it looks to me like we'll get a taste of what it's like shuffling three groups around.:rolleyes:

    I can only imagine the sounds that will be emanating from our house.:eek:

    Thankfully, it's only a week or so.:D

    At least you know what to do with so many B's. With me, every day would seem like a week! :eek: Good luck - Try and get a group picture . . .:D

    It should be an adventure, I'll be sure to update as the week goes on.

    We'll see if we can do the group picture.:eek: :eek: :eek: I love a challenge!:D


  • How Will They All Fit In The Bed? You May Have To Sleep On The Floor :)

    How Will They All Fit In The Bed? You May Have To Sleep On The Floor :)

    :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

    We do have four sleep with us…......and a Terrier mix thrown in for good measure......everyone seems to find a spot.:D

    Our two oldest, sleep with my oldest Son......seems fitting.:)

    I think the two visitors are crate sleepers, they may be bunking in with my other Son.....but in crates. He could put them in his bed if he wants to.

    We could just spoil them to death and when the owner picks them up tell her..........Oh yeah, by the way.....we fixed them so they don't need to sleep in crates anymore.:eek: :D :D :D :D :cool:


  • what do your neighbors thing? do you have a ton of land? I would love to see pics and stories as your week progresses.


  • @Mantis:

    Not a lot of land…..an acre.......out in the country though. The B's don't make noise and most neighbors don't even know we have them.

    Someone close to us have Husky's or something similar and they howl like wolves......... a lot. That would drive me nuts!

    I will take pics Mantis.....count on it!;)


  • OMG! Get prepared - and lots of rest while you can! Looking forward to the stories and pictures! Lots of luck!


  • @nala121498:

    I was kinda counting on you to come down and lend a hand.:D :D :D :D

    Little Miss Basenji B&B:D :D :D :rolleyes:


  • Sure…I'll be there for the color commentary, as you chase them around!


  • @nala121498:

    Sure…I'll be there for the color commentary, as you chase them around!

    I guess I'm going to have to break the news to Talon and Grinner…....no pumpkin soup Boys! They'll be devastated! Live with that if you can.:D :D


  • Can't wait to see the pics!! :)


  • @BDawg1005:

    Can't wait to see the pics!! :)

    We had 8 B's here when your guys paid us a visit.;) :D :cool:


  • Oh yes please do share LOTS of pics and maybe some video too, IM SURE youll have PLENTY of video worth activity!!


  • We had a big get together once at our house and it was great seeing a large pack of basenji's running loose. Great fun

    The funny part was telling which dog was yours. It's not that easy to tell when they are constantly moving about.

    While out in the yard an unlucky chipmonk made an apperance and darned if 10 basenji;s could not catch that thing!

    Be sure to get pictures!


  • I want to know what your gonna be doing with all your free time. :confused:
    I gotta believe your going with the "More is better theory". :rolleyes:
    That being said, you should be bored to death. :o (In theory :p )

    Ladybasenji, where are you in Quebec? Montreal? We have a place in Gatineau (Aylmer sector) and one of my dogs might even be related to yours. You're experiences with your girl remind me so much of my first basenji, about 20 years ago–it gets easier, I swear! Let me know if you'd like help with Lady--they're nothing like labs and will never be "obedient" but there are tricks for training them : D
  • What's your B's neck measure (trying to size a collar)?

    You can find a lot of puppy collars at thrift shops for pretty cheap - would never pay full price for one. I'm getting mine at 14 weeks and was told that 8-12 inches was what was being used - then at 4- 6 months graduate to 10-14 inch collar.

    @Lenora: She had got up from her nap, gone into the bedroom and knocked the ironing board over on her head, all in the space of less than a minute! LOL. Bella almost beaned herself during Christmas. She jumped up on the hearth and tried to pull down one of the stockings. It was held up by a very heavy wrought iron stocking holder. I heard it hit the floor and came into find her with the stocking in her mouth. It must have just missed her by an inch or so. She had gone for 3 weeks with no interest in the stockings. Don't know why they managed to get her attention that particular day. I sure hope she calms down at least a little bit when she's older. :eek:

    My dogs do this all the time. Well, Lexi does anyway- she's the only one who can fit/balance on the back of the sofa. ;) ha! And she'll tap your head in a heartbeat if there's something you have that she wants! lol

    This is the main problem right now, I suppose. The civil war's in the Republik of Kongo. I have been talking to a owner of Avongara Basenjis, who's daughter has been in Afrika with the last big expedition. And she had the same thoughts than I have: we thought, that if there are some Basenjis left (the ones which have not landed in the cooking pans), they are spread all over the forrest regions. Most of the human inhabitants of this region have left their houses for the next bigger city to find a little security and help there…. it is absolutely horrible, what mus go on there. But similar actions in other parts of Africa (Mali and Burkina Faso are always at the border of war like actions) plus in lots of these areas there are now many refugees from other areas which make the problems not easier for the habitants....http://www.azawakh.com/azawakhfriends/english/index.html Regards, Esther
  • So are these Af's different than our domestic B's?

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat
