Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic.

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum as of yesterday and indeed forums in general! This seems to be a really useful resource for Basenji folk and those aspiring to be so.
I am not new to Basenjis though! My name is Steve Gray and I was part of Jisgard kennel that was most active in the 70?s & 80?s. My mother still has one Jisgard related bitch living with her and I have acquired a puppy bitch this year and I am planning to campaign her.
Looking forward to getting started at Southampton Open and then Blackpool Championship Show. It's good to meet old friends again and people that are new to me.

Welcome fellow old time Basenji person. We'd like to hear some old stories as well as new stuff. I started in 75 with my first and I still learn new things.

Hi Nobarkus,
I started all be it ring side in 76 and then worked up showing and eventually judging. I will try to remember some of the interesting old stuff but it may difficult without being libellous!

Welcome to the forum Steve, it's great here,
ShelleyHi Shelley,
Good luck in your search for a pup, if you need any advice/reassurance regarding breeders etc. I am happy to help, as I have been though the same process over the past few years and I have a little inside and impartial information, not being a current breeder.

Steve,
any advice regarding breeders would be very welcome. I have never purchased a Dog from a breeder before, Benji was a rescue.
I am hoping to get a Pup simply as a Pet. Hoping to get to Blackpool in July to see the Basenjis,
Shelley
