Hi my names Lucifer and my owners name is Angela


  • :) Hi, everybody my name is Angela and my beloved Basenji is called Lucifer.
    Want to put some pics of him on here, but having a bit of trouble doing so.
    Lucifer is 3 months old and we are going to our first show in November.
    I am having lots of fun lead training him, if anybody has any tips that would be great:)


  • Welcome to the forum. We can't show puppies under 6 months in the UK Fun dog shows or is he 6 months in November?. (UK Kennel Club rules) Let us know how you get on.


  • Hi pattsy, thankyou for your reply.
    We can show them here in australia at 3 months but you dont start getting any points untill there 6 months old, so i guess its like a practice run untill there 6 months. Im sure he will do well. Over here though the red and white basenjis tend to do alot better than the coloured basenjis, you really have to have a very good black and white one that stands out to beat a red and white.


  • Welcome to the forum, i wonder why your Pup is called Lucifer ;)
    My training tip would be to enrol at a Puppy class and take it from there. Of course the bulk of the work is done at home by yourselves but i like the classes for socialization and also it helps you to train in a structured way.


  • I think Lucifer is an excellent name for a B. Can't wait to see some pictures of him.


  • :)Lol yes Lucifer, well we had had Lucifer for a week and he still didnt have a name. I coudnt think of a name that suited him.
    Now Lucifer is an indoor Basenji 95% of the time and im with him almost all of the time except for when i do food shoppping or the usual stuff you need to do during the week.
    I went shoppping and was gone for about an hour and came home to Lucifer detroying my lounge and i mean detroying lol, i can laugh about it now, cause all he did when i caught him was yodel at me lol, how could i go mad at him.
    It was my fault anyhow i should have confined him before i left, so thats how he got his name he is a little devil, but also a sweetheart.
    I really cant wait to get another one lol


  • Welcome..glad you found us.


  • Welcome angela72, from one fellow Aussie to another :D

    I think you will learn tons of really good Basenji stuff here, its a fantastic site…

    Do you mind me asking about your Pups pedigree ??? I also show, and I also have a 3 month old boy, from my first litter of B's that I had this year. His nam is Java, (Langarni African Aluko), and his first show will be at the NSW Specialy on the 9th October... Very excited, but very nervous as well :D


  • Hi, yes ive seen your website, i was inquiring about a basenji female from tazy through Jenni Palmer, but not sure how the lines would work with my boy.
    My boy is out of Sire Eurabbie Mercedes and Dam Eurabbie Hermione.
    There have been a few late litters this year if there is nothing to tie in with my boy this year, ill wait till next year.

    Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.[image: 1609703338260-1binti-orchids1.jpg]

    What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home. As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.

    Hello! I'm in Tx as well. I crate my Basenji (and my chiweenie for that matter.) I think it gives them a den/safe spot. Nayru can deconstruct any toy so far. The best one has been one of those loofah dog toys from PetSmart. That only just got destuffed. :) I just pick up fuzz a lot. She loves her beef bone for gnawing on as well.

    Luzambo, I too had one pass last March. After that I was left with one and said once he passed, I was going to be done with dogs – too much of work and emotional strain. Yep, I was going to be free to... well, to do something. Then I found a little girl related to Brie just 2 weeks later and 6 months later I have yet another. Yes, they're a lot of work at times, but so is most everything in life. I love having them around and the house would be often boring otherwise. I'm sure Pharaoh and my Brie are hanging out in their private club looking down on us saying "what are you guys doing down there?" And with a signature like yours, I don't think you'll be waiting long. Welcome to the forum!
