It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

Wanted: certain basenji pictures

I am not sure where I can put this, so I put it here, when it is not correct please move it to the correct forum part
well , I am looking for clear playing basenjis pictures for a special project for my shop.As everybody who ownes basenjis know that they play in their own special way and I want to " picture " that in my project.
I need the basenjis on the picture in a playful / active move, but not strangled in each other or something like that as I have to see each basenji very clear, preferably as much sideways as possible.
I know it is hard to have these pictures, but if you do, please post them here with your permission to use them, please note I dont use the picture as it is, I need just the position / shape of the basenjis
thanks in advance!

Janneke - you take such wonderful photos and always seem to capture the moment - do you have your camera surgically attached and always on so it is always within reach for capturing "that moment"?
