    Hello–
    We have a basenji pup (5 mo. old) named Obi. We live in the San Francisco Bay area (east bay) and would love to find a lure course for Obi. Can anyone help us? Pictures of Obi to come. Thank you, Judith & Jay

    Welcome to the forum! Don't know anything about lure coursing in your area, but I'm sure someone on this forum can help you :)

    Enjoy!

    The Basenji Club of Northern California's puppy match and lure trials are coming up May 30 and 31st in Livermore, CA. They will be held at Robertson Equestrian Center in Livermore. More information is available at http://www.norcalbasenjis.org

    Before then there is ASFA lure trials in Hollister May 2 and 3 and a racing/coursing 3 day event in Sacramento over Memorial Day weekend.

    Practices are available at the end of lure trials usually and between race programs.

    There are also trials this weekend in Gilroy… your pup is to young to compete, but just the right age to practice and see what it is all about....

    And for sure considering coming to the BCONC puppy match and lure trials. The match, practice and trial for Basenjis only is on Saturday May 30th. We will be having a general membership meeting also... all guests welcome. And along with all that, a pot luck lunch

    Hope to see you there

    Who did you get your pup from?

    Thank you for your information. We got our Basenji from a nephew who got him from the Santa Barbara Humane Society. My nephew was unable to have a pup afterall, and we're delighted we have Obi. The litter of pups (three of them) were taken to the Society. I don't know who the parents are.

    Well welcome to the world of Basenjis… you might want to think about doing the Fanconi DNA test since you don't have any information on his sire and dam.. you can learn about the test at www.basenjihealth.org

    And I hope to see you at our Puppy Match/Lure trial end of May…

    And we love to see pictures

    He could be a rat terrier mix; but he’s handsome!

    @julia87 How much do you know about Basenjis? Have you met any? It's highly recommended to learn as much as possible about them before making a decision to acquire one. This would be a good place to start.

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @msjames, @tanza did you a solid favor outlining expectations. Networking really is key to finding a "reputable" breeder. Most show their dogs and are connected to other breeders through showing. They all seem to know who is planning a litter and who isn't. I completely agree with Pat that you should meet your breeder in person prior to the puppies even being born. You can learn a lot. Is a Basenji right for you? If you want a dog to hang with you in the driveway with the garage door open as you chat with neighbors, or stand calmly with the front door open as you receive a UPS package... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Basenjis will bolt. they'll be gone in a second. They see it. They chase it. And if you think you have them trained... no. They've trained you. When they see it they will chase it. Basenjis, in my experience, need exercise. Mine get two walks a day. When they don't, they can be destructive. They're not shy about expressing frustration or displeasure through chewing up your best stuff. A big secure yard can mitigate this, but that's not a guarantee. They love seeing outside, so keep your blinds and drapes open otherwise they may open them themselves even if that requires chewing through them. They will climb onto windowsills, tables and low counter tops. They are capable of scaling a six-foot fence. They are known to climb trees. These are extreme examples, but better to know now. They are super affectionate. They can be trained... to a point. They are clowns and provide endless entertainment. A Basenji baroo is the best sound ever! They love to snuggle and will sleep on your bed and under the spreads and sheets if you let them. They love to share body heat. Tail twitches when I return home are the best!
