I've hunted deer with my basenji in emergency situations during archery season. She has helped me find several wounded deer in the woods after dark. Basenjis are easily distracted by other trails and other deer scents so you need to make them associate the smell of deer blood with getting a raw venison treat. My basenji found a deer for me the first time I tried it with her. Most dogs need extensive training for this but she picked it up in 10 minutes. She has helped me a great deal. If there is no blood on the ground however it'd be tough depending on the wind direction, and they usually get distracted by diverging deer trails if there is no blood to follow.
I recently "married" a Basenji!

Ahh!!! I LOVE HER!! She is SOOOO cute!!
You said she was 8, right?? That's about the same age as my little princess, Lexiโ who also likes to dress up. I wonder if they are long lost sisters!! Where is yours from? -
She's from here in Arizonaโฆ...born 12/6/2000. Isn't it funny how they don't mind being dressed up? My 2 sons, who are now in their 20's, are darn glad I have someone else to dress up these days! And they wouldn't mind it if I made her take dance lessons, too!!!! ha ha ha ha ..........(I only made the oldest take dance lessons.....and it was when he was very young and only until he broke it to me that he'd rather take wrestling!!!) ANYWAY, Lexi and Haley probably ARE related somewhere up the line! They are both awfully beautiful..........if we do say so ourselves!!

Thank you, Rita Jean! (our family is a bit heavy on the testosterone side! haha)

Oh and thanks to all of you for your nice comments. This is such a nice place to "visit"!

I can't believe Haley's from Arizona. I could swear she and Lexi must be kin! They seem so much alike in their mannerisms! And I LOVE that she gets dressed up too!! More pics, more pics!!

That's a good word for them. And yes, Roxie was certainly haming it up for the crowd that day. lol
