Introduction


  • Hello, My name is Gina,29 years old, married with a 2 year old- Owen. I have a 4 year old akc lab and last month I went to a rescue shelter in York NE, ( I live in Lincoln, NE) and brought home my baby girl, Sally. She is a 3 year old lab, basenji mix. I know she isn't purebred and that counts to a lot of people, but she is more basenji than lab. She is a cat in a dogs, body, i think she is part fox! I was hoping to make some friends with other basenji people.


  • Hi Gina, and welcome!
    I'm JoNell. I'm married w/six kids, two cats, and two dogs – one a 12 yr old golden retriever mix, and the other is an almost 2 yr old Basenji, Jazzy.
    Jazz is our first Basenji, and has stolen our hearts completely!
    Welcome to the forum and to Basenji World....it's a different world, but certainly never a dull one!
    Don't forget to post photos of Sally!


  • Welcome, Gina and Sally! You certainly will find lots of info here. It is a fun place to chat with other B/Bmix people. When we first got Joey, my husband said, "That's a cat trapped in a dog's body!!" Joey is our first basenji and my hubby is starting to understand him more now.


  • Welcome to the forum, enjoy the fun. All kinds of B's here.

    Hi Jill, You mentioned before that we probably live near each other. I just learned here where you aquired Duke! Wow! Was the other pup a black and white? I was initially attracted to the red and white which Joey is, but have seen some beautiful b/w. I doubt we would ever get another dog but it's fun to think what is might be like to have 2 Bs. Perhaps some day we could meet in a park to walk the dogs. Joey is 11 months and not neutered yet. He is tolerant of all dogs and aloof. We met his sister, Tory, who was taken at 8 wks and she is nasty! She snarled,"barked", etc at her brother and he just looked at her like she was crazy! We all laughed! Tory's mom is a friend of mine and how I found Joey. Send me a private email if you are interested. I'm sure I could learn a lot from you.
