    I am thinking to give it another couple of weeks. Some of our members visit the forum once every couple of weeks, so I wanted to give them a chance to participate.

    The submissions are coming, so far we have 12 people who signed up for this program.

    I really love to participate in actions like those. Do you plan to have it about Christmas? Maybe this would be a time range to look forward to?

    I think this is a cool way to share dog gifts/treats from your local area. We have several dog bakeries here and other fun local places that make dog stuff. It will be fun to share some of Hampton Roads with others.

    This gift exchange will have a submission deadline around end of August. If it is a success we are planning on having another one around Christmas holidays.

    For your consideration….....I also agree the first exchange should be in December. Say a ship by date of Dec. 1st. This gives us plenty of time to consider our exchange buddies and their dogs, re-read some posts to get an idea of life style, food and toy preferences, sense of humor, and beat the price mark up of the Christmas season. Also, as "the giving season" nears, perhaps more forum friends will care to join.

    Maybe I'm thinking too hard about this, but I'm just excited and fear I won't have adequate time to find something(s) appropriate.

    Thanks admin I'm sure this may take more time and effort than you originally anticipated, but what GREAT fun you're providing.

    P/S...With all the December b-day Basenji's you have here, it could turn out to be a huge GLOBAL Basenji birthday celebration:D :D :D

    I definitely agree with Snorky, I would like an xmas one as well, however I think there is plenty of time to do 2 before then…if we close submissions by the end of august, ship gifts by the end of September, then pick it up again in October or November for the holiday season..that might be good. Otherwise I am afraid if we wait so long, people will forget/not visit the site often by then/etc. If we plan that now, people who dont' want to do both could just opt to wait until the second one, just my opinion, but I will go along with whatever is decided...either way it shoudl be lots of fun...thanks again for doing this!

    Have you sent out the buddy information yet? I have had a ton of junk mail lately and I wanted to make sure your e-mail did not end up in my spam folder by accident.

    Thanks!

    We finally sorted through all the submissions and everyone should have gotten their Basenji Gift Buddy. Please let us know (giftexchange@basenjiforums.com) if you have not gotten an email from us.

    Also we noticed that several members who voted on the poll did not email us their submissions in the format requested in the first post of this thread. There is still time, hurry and email us.

    Those members who did receive their Basenji Gift Buddy email, please send your gift in a timely manner. :)

    Enjoy! This is going to be a lot of fun!

    Basenji for me or not ?

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    Basenji Traits Your Basenji Doesn't Have…

    My Rue is pretty perfect. She is mixed with something (I don't know what) so she doesn't look like a real B… and she isn't interested in anything in our house (chewing wise), doesn't bolt out the door, and licks like CRAZY! She also doesn't really like to play with other dogs at the dog park, she just smells them, occasionally chases them, then comes back and lays down by me (EXERCISE DANG IT!). The only normal B behaviors that I see in her are the little noises that she makes (she makes a lot of them for different reasons) and her BAROOOOOOO (which is fitting because we named her Rue before we even knew she was a Basenji) and it seems like she is stubborn about sitting. It's like she is saying, "yeah I know you want me to sit, but first I'm gonna spin around in a circle. Then maybe I'll sit if I feel like it." Haha! She is a character!

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
