New from Canada


  • Hello

    Arizona is a doll, she is well behaved and very much a lady,loves to be cuddled,she is older so I assume that is where her temperment comes into play. Dakota is still a puppy,I guess I really don't need to say more…. he is not well behaved and still fights when on the lead. He is curious, stubborn,playful and at times very destructive....which at times makes me wonder what the heck I was thinking when we brought him home. I love dogs, but am new to this breed, my husband had 2 before we met, unfortunatley 1 got very sick very fast and it was with great heart break that we had to put him down. So I came into the life of Basenjis as older dogs..to my surprise they are not like anyother dogs as puppies. But needless to say I do love them and could not imagine life without them.


  • It is cold and snowy


  • Yes, we have having snow and cold in the PNW. I miss the rain.
    Welcome to the forums.


  • It was minus 12 here last night in Niagara Region of Ontario. Warmer than it has been though, we've been going through a cold snap as has most of USA as well.


  • Welcome to the forum and the world of basenji slaves! I was feeling bad about the weather here in WV, USA until I heard of how bad it is for some of you!:eek: I can't wait to see pictures of your little beasties!!!


  • Hello & welcome to the group. BTW - last couple of days -35C

    If I can figure out how to get a album going (have tried a number of time but it's not working) there will be pictures very soon

    Okay, Okay, you have us beat! But you always have us beat!! hahaha

    But you can keep it, I'll let you!

    By the way, are either of you people members of the BCOC? I'm looking for winter pics of our Basenjis for a contest.


  • No sorry, what kind of photos are you looking for??


  • Not a member - planning to be. Today -8c & no snowfall


  • I was looking for any winter photos from members. Playing in the snow, chasing in the snow, etc. You can always go to the BCOC website and apply, or I can send you an application and a free copy. We're always looking for new members. By the way, our BCOC Specialty is right after the Calgary Stampede this year. Hope some of you guys can make it! That's where you'll see quite a few Basenjis- not as many as the BCOA, but still, we try to get quite a few! Sally Wournos is judging this year.

    I would like the application, can I send you a private email with my mailing address? I have some photos on http://s548.photobucket.com/albums/ii350/gneigum/ if you could use.

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    @Rita: Pat yes we did get Jaycee's AKC application at the time we got her. Have not got cert back yet as we were really slow in her name made us slow in mailing. Rita Jean Great, it would be good if you gave Sally W the information for her website to update the pedigrees. Many of us rely heavily on the pedigree site when thinking about breeding and researching dogs…. You can do contact Sally at Zande Basenjis (just do a seach for her website and drop her an email with the info)....

    I wouldn't recommend getting a basenji until you've organized your new schedule with baby. basenjis are wonderful dogs, but require a lot of attention and stimulation. If you can't provide that, he could become a frustrated dog and cause mischeif. I've also read that they aren't the best with children. I haven't had the best experience with my basenji and daughter. It has a lot to do with the fact that we can't give him sufficient attention and exercise like he needs. he also hasn't adjusted to my daughter's presence either. that may not be a problem for you because you're having baby first then dog. they say its always a plus because it allows the child to establish a dominence over the dog, since child was there first. i don't want to be a sour apple, but i just want to let families with children know that it can be difficult and dangerous if proper care isn't given. its also unfair to the precious breed if they cant have the active life they need and crave.
