    Hi all! I joined awhile ago but never introduced myself or my BGirl, Gadget (Echelon-Rafiki Charisma)

    Gadget is the third Basenji I have owned in my lifetime. I acquired her from Heather Ervin, Echelon Basenjis in March 2008. We had a BGirl, Sophie, that we acquired from Brat for about 5 years but sadly had to help her cross the Rainbow Bridge in November 2007.

    My life hasn't been the same since I got Gadget. I formed two wonderful friendships with Heather Ervin (Echelon Basenjis) and Melody Falcone (Melar Basenjis). These two gals have taught me a lot and inspired me to try my hand at showing Gadget. Gadget and I just had our very first show in Omaha on July 19th and we got WB and BOS for our very First Point.

    Gadget is a very smart girl, who loves to be with me 24/7. She is my shadow. She has brought so much joy to our lives after Sophie's passing. She is a much different dog than Sophie was. Sophie was not your typical Basenji. All Sophie wanted to do was eat and sleep in every single sun spot in the house. She was a super laid back girl. Gadget on the other hand is very playful, full of energy and wants to be everywhere I am.

    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! :)

    What a sweet little boy–having a non-basenji sister/brother is great, it gives them a "positive role model"!

    DukeD
    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.
