New Parents of Our First Basenji

Member Introductions
  • my little female likes to sleep with her nose under something - my arm, her paw, etc. I told my friend that and she said "Awwww, she even sleeps cute."

    Anne is super nice, as is everyone in that Tampa group. Just if you ever have to call Anne, you'll have to mention you have a basenji before she'll pick up the phone. ;)

  • Yeah Kim, "Basenji" is the magic password! Before caller ID, I got a lot of calls from work and I still have the habit of screening calls! (It doesn't really work, if I don't answer, they page me or call my cell).

    We have been very lucky to meet many nice people like Agilebasenji when they passed through Tampa!

  • Hi Kona, how are things going with your new basenji girl?

    We had a dozen basenjis at the park today, hopefully you will be able to bring her sometime. We meet up most every Sunday morning around 11, but we went early today due to the weather. (yea, we finally got a little rain, but not enough!) The place is West Park, on Occident just south of Linebaugh.

  • Congratulations! She is lovely! How lucky for both of you to find each other. Out of curiosity can someone tell me if the trindle coloration is allowed in the ring?

  • There are no DQs in basenjis so a trindle can be shown and there are trindle champions.

  • Hi Anne -

    Thanks for checking in on us. Kona is settling in perfectly. She is so sweet and only causes trouble a couple times a day - mainly when my husband isn't home :)

    She traveled with us to Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando over the Thanksgiving weekend and handled it all very well. She even played beautifully with my nieces and nephew.

    We are so lucky to have found her and she is the perfect fit for us! We look forward to coming and meeting the other Tampa Basenjis. I am hoping to come to the park after the holidays once Kona is completely caught up on her shots - she goes for round 2 tonight.

    I will post some more pictures soon too!

    Delighted that Kane is finally on the mend - you will see his weight gain in leaps and bounds now he no longer has those unwelcome little visitors. Keep a close eye on him though and get back to the vet at the first sign of any more troubles. good luck to you both !

    Congrats on your puppy…. has he (or his sire/dam) been health tested for Fanconi and PRA with the DNA test? Very important this if this has not been done for his Sire/Dam that you have your boy tested. And even if they have been tested, never hurts to follow up with having him done also.

    Welcome and congratulations! I have two BRATS myself, and a third basenji as well. So beware, they ARE like potato chips (You can't have just one) I love her name, she is gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about her Homecoming!

    i found the only thing that gets Sandies attention now days is a rolled news paper… i dont hit her with it, just the site of it and me slapping it against my legg, usually makes her stop what ever she is doing...usually its nothing major... chasing the cats...or if she just wont stop beating me up after we play...
