@debradownsouth Thank you for the kind words but I have to admit... I take young adults for my own convenience. I simply don't have time, stamina or energy to deal with the pups as adorable as they are. Having a puppy is like having a baby or too! Did I mention I was not into children and babies or can you guess?lol. I love the retirees. they are already used to crates (although Ollie is now somewhat recalcitrant about getting into hers because she would rather hang out with her now "Mom", lol!! They travel well. They are usually somewhat used to people. Ollie is not used to playing by herself and is just getting used to "big" breeds. She doesn't get the commands "sit, down or stay" yet but we are working on it. She is the champ of the "heel" command however!!

Hello. I have been asked to introduce myself.
I live with 9 Basenjis and sheep unnumbered. I have been involved with the breed since the 40s (shows how old I am). The Basenjis ages range from 4 (year 5) to 14 (year 15).
A friend suggested I join the site so I came to have a look and stayed to register!
I have read many interesting posts and its good to know that so many of us are addicted to the breed.

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,

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!

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?
