Hello from Toronto, Canada


  • Before I officially retired , I worked as a Policy and Procedure Manuel Writing Specialist.

    I am a widower with 2 adult children and a new grandfather.

    I first discovered the Basenji in 2003 when I adopted a Rescue Akita/Basenji shortly after
    my first Rescue Akita Cross the Bridge.

    Shortly after I adopted " Tori", I became involved with Basenji Rescue and am presently
    the Ontario Screener.

    As well, I am the National Rescue Coordinator fot the Basenji Club of Canada.

    In addition to helping Basenji Rescue, I am involved with helping Ontario Rescue Organizations with Screening of potential Adopters and conducting HVs as necessary.

    I am involved with the North American Mixed Breed Registry as an Technical Advisor.

    In between my Rescue Work, I enjoy gardning and writing articles and stories.


  • Welcome to the forum! Great that you're helping with the Basenji rescue. Post some pics of Tori when you can.

    Hi! Welcome to the forum!


  • Hi! welcome I would love to see pictures of your akita/basenji. We just got our Basenji back in March but I have had akitas for years and years. We also have a Shiba. Look forward to hearing stories and again lots of pictures.

    Welcome to the forum! Regarding pictures, other forum members helped me when I was having trouble, basically if you upload them to albums on this forum you need to make sure they are not too large to start with. To put them in a post they need to uploaded to somewhere on the Web, (the Albums here on the Forum are fine) then you need to get the full IMG code of the picture and paste it into your posts between ![](& [img] and that should work.

  • Actually you don't need to upload them to another website – at the bottom of the "Quick Reply" box click on the "Go Advancaed" button then scroll down past the "Reply" box to the "Additional Options" and click on "Manage Attachemtns". Then you can upload directly from you own computer files and the photos will be inserted at the correct size. It's easy.

    Thanks, I will give that a go next time.

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    @WriggleysMom: We've always had rescues and I feel like I've missed out on puppy antics, so I'm debating. Toby doesn't baroo or wag his tail and I really miss being met at the door with a welcome baroo and a tail trying to wag itself off!! I had a puppy and was getting the urge for another but now we have a 7-mo old foster and I can't take my eyes off her. I remembered I really did not miss that!
