Hi Tasia. I see that it has been a couple of years since you posted but we are in the Lehigh Valley and have a Basenji mix who would love a play date. He is only 3 years old though, so you know.
BRAT World Convention & Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club Get Together
-
Hello Friends– Gosh, it's been a while since I've logged on. Sorry- Sometimes life just tries to get busy on me.
Anyways, I wanted to see if anyone is planning to go to the BRAT World Convention in June. It's in Lexington, Virginia this year. Has anyone gone in the past? What was it like? I want to do things with my dogs. I am not interested in driving somewhere, putting my dog in a crate and going to a seminar. Does anyone have any experiences to share about the get-together?
Also, the Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club Fun Match is June 1st in Maryland. I'm really excited about this one as I know there are little relays and things to do with your dog. FUN!
-
Could you give me more info about the Mid Atlantic event on 1 June? Where specifically, times, etc. I am interested in learning more about this breed and potentially becoming an owner. Unfortunately I will be in New Mexico for most of June so can not attend the BRAT event.

That's great news!! I love meeting up with other Basenji's. They're just so neat. I missed last year's event– Too bad BasenjiBoy isn't on the forum anymore-- he would be able to tell you more about how it goes. I emailed the contact to see about exact costs- but I haven't heard back yet...
