@elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch.
If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !
Nine?! Two's about all I can handle right now! I think you will enjoy this forum. People here have lots of great pics, tons of knowledge & super fun stories. Welcome!
Hello and welcome:D
Hi and welcome to the list… being around the breed for that many years... I am sure there is much you have to share with the rest of us
Welcome to our pack! And oh my god - 9 beasties! Can you tell us more about them or some of them please.
WOW! Do you use the basenjis to herd the sheep? I took my boys herding once; they really seemed to enjoy it.
Hello,
i just joined the group too.
WOW 9 Basenjis, my husband can't believe it. He found our one boy hard work. We have just lost ours, but in time i hope to have another, need to work on my husband a bit, lol,

Welcome and congratulations on keeping your sanity! LOL I have three B's and two others. While two are great, the third keeps you hopping!
Welcome to the forum:)
Welcome, Patty - and to your NINE B's - I'll bet they keep you young! I'm much more active since I got my one basenji, who is only 4 months! I'm hoping to just survive her puppyhood - you must have scores of knowledge to share so it's great to see you have joined our forums! Got any pictures of your B's? Do Basenjis herd? My puppy just seems to want to chase and eat everything!
Hi and welcome.
I just have my one beautiful baby… but i do get the feeling they might be addictive! 9 must be lovely!
Welcome to the forum! Nine! Wow!
Welcome to the forum!
Hello & welcome from Canada.

Hello Patty, and welcome. You must have been one of the very early UK people to get involved. A true font of knowledge for everyone here. 9 of the breed must keep you very young!:) Are they like a real pack?

Hello Patty and 9 Basenjis! We're glad to have you aboard and look forward to your stories and advice.
hi! welcome!
Nine!?!?! That's awesome!!
Can't wait to see pics and hear all your stories!!
How did you get your first B?
Welcome! Living with 9 must be wonderful, I lived with 5 once and loved it. Your life sounds very lovely.
Hello and Welcome to the forum!!
0 B's!! wow!!!!! I'm so jealous!
Admittedly Basenjis and sheep are a problem.
Thank you for such friendly welcomes.
I have had some Basenjis who I did eventually manage to 'train'!!? to be safe with sheep and could wander among them and occasionally help to herd, others (including my current pack are killers and can't be left to wander freely where the sheep are. We have a double gate system for visitors.
There was a time when I could have taken them all out for walks together but now I take them 3 at a time and my whole day is taken up with exercising dogs.
When I get the hang of my digital camera I'll post some piccies.
Nomrdggs - I'm not sure I have kept my sanity!!!!
Tanza - I have actually seen some of our original imports - and I have attempted to breed as close to the original type as I can. I bred my last litter 4 years ago.
