Jennifer-I'm only 20 minutes from this one! What do I need to do? I could go get her!

Do I need to register to attend the Nationals? (I'm such a newbie…..!)

Hey all–-
I'm looking for B owners in Kentucky. Wondering how many of us there are?
I think I'm the only one in my area. My vet said they only had one other Basenji in their practice and it was some time ago! So.....are there any other Kentuckians out there? I think it would be nice to have someone close by to talk to about my new little Dakota and all the trials and tribulations that have come with him!

Thanks so much for all the helpful info! I really want to come to Lexington (it's only 35 miles from home). I really want to get Dakota involved in something so he has a job. After all, I've heard a tired Basemji is a good Basenji LOL!

Does anyone know of any lure coursing instructors, etc. in Kentucky? I'm looking to get my new Basenji, Dakota, involved in an event where he can exercise and "have a job". I understand the national event will be in Lexington this year. Will this be a good place to get instrutions or help to get started? All information welcomed and appreciated!:)

Thanks for all the welcomes! I'm trying to get pics posted soon. Dakota got neutered last Friday and I think he's a little miffed. But today he actually "sat" on command! I'm so thrilled. My goldens were so easy to train so this is going to be a challenge for me. I'm already learning that I need to "basenji proof" the house because he's into absolutely everything and then some! I get tickled at him when we are outside because he is SO alert to everything around him. Glad I found these forums–-sonce this is my first Basenji, I need lots of help!

Hello! I'm new to the forums. We just acquired our first Basenji. He's 6 months old as of today and we got him a month ago. We are working on potty training, general house manners and rules. We have been to 2 puppy classes at PetSmart to help us in our journey. Dakota joins a 4 year old golden retriever named Boomer and a kitty cat named Punkin. (Haven't introduced him to the kitty yet.)
