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.
Kaylee the Basenji

Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce Kaylee, the 3 year old Basenji. I've been on the hunt for a basenji for the last few months and finally found a great one. I picked her up last sunday from Denise from Starfyre Basenji's in Southern California, and so far she's been great. Now she's living it up just outside of Hollywood in Burbank, California. Here are her pics.

Much of Denise's breeding is related to my old boy OJ… and I can see the look in the face...

Welcome to the Forum…she's super cute!!! She look pretty big (could be the camera angle)...her paws look big...how much does she weigh?
She is sooo cute and looks sooo happy!

Her bloodline runs to the bigger size… my boy is bigger then the "suggested" size and mostly everything I have seen from that line is from the bigger side.. including the bitches... but alot I think is the picture....

she's actually pretty small, probably 15-18lbs. The pictures make her look alot bigger than she is.
She has settled quickly, she's a great dog
