  • Welcome to the pack! And yes when you get the chance do post some pictures … we're addicted to them.

  • Hello & welcome to the forum:D

  • Welcome to the pack. Glad that you found us, even for experienced B owners this forum is a wonderful wealth of information and a great community that understands all the crazy that comes with living with these great dogs. :)

  • Hi and Welcome!

  • Hi and thank you all for the warm welcome. I tried to scan some pictures but it didn't work so i went out to day a got one of those new digitals. As soon as it's charged and i figure out how to use it I'll send pictures of Max. He is becoming very vocal so I guess he he likes it here and has decided stay. He greeted me with 2 very nice broo's today. He has also figured out how to take off the gentile lead and the easy walk harness. He must be part sled dog.
    Talk again soon,
    Steve

  • Welcome from Denmark!

  • Hi! Welcome to the forum, my B, Sahara is also a red & white. My hubby, Sahara and I live on the coast of NC. We just love our B to pieces, she is the sweetest dog, and is also a family cuddler. She just wants to be where we are, like right now she is laying behind my back in my computer chair. I have to share with her, sometimes she gets on our neck and just cuddles up, but not as often as she use to do, she is longer and bigger now. She is almost 3 this January and I just found out through DNA that she is a Fanconi affected Basenji, from her Sire and Dam. Please have your B tested so you can be ready to treat if it has the dreaded Fanconi. There is a Protocol now for the disease and my Baby will have the best I can get for her is she does indeed develop the disease. She might not ever get it, I don't know, I just pray for her to be healthy. So take care and get those pics on here soon, Yea, we love Pictures!!!!:D

  • Hi,
    My Max is 5 1/2 and all he wants to do is be near us. He sleeps with us and he's my second skin. Max is an exceptionally large B. He's 35 pounds of pure mussel.
    Pictures will be posted soon.

  • We will love to see photos when you can get them on line, and if you have any issues with your rescue b, we are here to help.
    Welcome!

    I own five basenjis. Two yodel until you have a headache and my female barks. She always did. Short clipped barks. I also researched the breed before getting my first and she is an excellent dog. My third basenji was a handful. Three years later and he has stopped his destructiveness etc. It was a hard three years. Lol. You never know with a basenji. Greatest breed. Loyal, active, funny but some require ALOT of patience.

    Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.

    @suztor: Thanks so much for the feedback, I'm playing with a new camera lens and will be posting new pictures as soon as I can! funny that you mention rat. I've been doing research because she really doesn't fully fit the basenji profile but it turns out I'm pretty convinced she's a Rat Terrier mix but has very strong and big jaws that don't match…. I found an image of a rat basenji mix who's face looks very similar to hers.... So at the moment that's where I'm putting my money... Thoughts? and it doesn't really so much matter what she is as far as how much I'll love her (i've got that part down solid), but it's more so I can find the best way to train her

    Welcome to you (P…) and Benji, so pleased to see you on here!. I hope the seizure was a one-off but i'm sure you'll get plenty of valuable advice here if not. Do get in touch with M & L they have a wonderful vet for Skipper in Oswestry.

    @WriggleysMom: We've always had rescues and I feel like I've missed out on puppy antics, so I'm debating. Toby doesn't baroo or wag his tail and I really miss being met at the door with a welcome baroo and a tail trying to wag itself off!! I had a puppy and was getting the urge for another but now we have a 7-mo old foster and I can't take my eyes off her. I remembered I really did not miss that!
