@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!!
Totally new!

Welcome to you and Arleigh. What an interesting name, too!
-
Welcome, and thank you for sharing those adorable pictures.
-
Welcome! I love Arleigh's window seat, he is a very handsome boy. And you are so lucky to be able to go to Dr. Tracy, most of us feel lucky to have a vet that knows what a basenji is.
-
Welcome Bart!
That window shot is a classic:) I think you'll find a bunch of people who share the Basenji curse/passion here:D

I live in the Dayton area, my vet is Dr. Tracy Leonard.
Good for you - we live about 4 hrs away & I still consider taking our Bs to her. I don't know Dr. Leonard, but I've heard & read nothing but good things about her. It's hard indeed to find a vet with extensive basenji knowledge. I don't know any basenji owners in my immediate area
either, but I'm occasionally approached by people who know what breed of dog I have - always perks me up! -
Welcome
Rita Jean

Yup, Dr. Tracy is great… known her for years... both as a friend and fellow breeder....
-
Wow! It is a small, world isn't it? I kinda figured some of you would know Doc Tracy but its always nice to have a personal opinion confirmed.

It is a small world… interesting thing is that in Basenjis you will find that most all responsible breeders know each other... maybe not personally, but they have heard about them or know they breedings.
