South Bay Basenji Meetup (San Jose, CA)

Basenji Meetups & Events
  • Thanks to Alex for setting this up… We had a great time!

    There were 4 B's (2 tri's, 1 r/w, and 1 brindle)... Since Cosmo is a scaredy/skiddish one :o, I didn't let her off the leash but it was fun to see the other 3 B's run (and turn) at full speed at the dog park :D... There were other doggies there (like a couple of staffordshire terriers, I think (i.e. the Target store dog) who were super friendly, jack russell, border collie, etc)... Even though Cosmo didn't like being sniffed, I think she really enjoyed hanging out and watching everyone do their thing! :D

    It was really nice to meet folks on the B Forum! :):D:):D

  • Sounds like you all had a good time. Did anyone bring a camera??

  • Yes, it sounds like y'all had so much fun..Otis and I are very jealous..I hope somebody has pics from your fun day..

  • I forgot my camera. Buddy run up to a dog from behind and got bit on the neck. The dog was standing next to his owner who was sitting in a chair. I heard him yelp but didn't fell the puncture wounds until I got home. They weren't too deep and are now scabbed up. Problem is the owners sit down in chairs and the dog's start to group and then you get the snapping. It didn't stop him from having fun though. He kept playing on and on. It was very hot too.

  • It was very nice to meet everyone who showed up for this meetup. We hope hope more Bay Area Basenji owners will join us next time. It was a very hot day, but we still had a lot of fun. Basenjis were running the show at the park, running around getting chased and chasing other dogs.

    Here are the photos:

  • Great pictures, thanks for sharing,,wish we lived closer..

  • Oh dear! I missed this thread, but we were away anyway, spent the weekend in Carmel (with the dogs, of course!)

    Any chance of a do-over? :)

    Sorry to hear Buddy got bitten, hope he's okay.

  • We are definitely going to do this again. Feel free to suggest locations.

  • Thanks for taking these and posting Alex! I was about half way to the park and realized I forgot my camera. Next time.

  • There will be at least four basenjis at Ed Levin Park in Milpitas this Sunday from 11am. My husband and I have two, and a colleague of his has two as well. If any others would care to join us, it would be great to see you!

    (The park is 3100 Calaveras Rd Milpitas. There is an entrance fee for the park, but I think it's worth it, it's a really nice park, and the off leash dog enclosures are some of the nicest in the area. The dog park itself is a little tricky to find - ask at the booth, or email me if you'd like directions )

    Pics to follow!

    I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you had responded. I thought I'd get an email. Zoey is definately NOT good off leash. It would be great to find a fenced area…I know there is a dog park (with a small dog area) near me, but I don't know how you feel about driving. (I've commuted for years, so I'm used to it). I could probably call Bear Mountian the park to see if they allow dogs. I'm working tomorrow, but I'll try to find out on Tuesday. Also, there is some sort of an event in Woodstock, NY (beautiful town), sponsored by the Rip Van Winkle Basenji Club. I am totally new to all of this stuff, so I'm not sure what goes on there, but here is a link....I thought you might be interested. If I'm not working I may go just to check it out. http://www.rvwbasenjiclub.org/June.24th.Match.html
