It's a very well-written article and I think it accurately describes the basenji's idiosyncrasies that we all know and love and that the average person would find frustrating. I think the take-home message for those who don't know basenjis is that they should educate themselves more before taking the "plunge".
Personally, I was thrilled to see a b/w pictured. My only complaint is that the main cover dog wasn't a basenji!
New title for an old dog

I'm happy to report that Digital received his TDIAOV title certificate a couple of days ago. A therapy dog is awarded the TDIAOV title after 150 hours/visits. Diggie will turn 15 in December and I'll post a birthday message then. I believe this brings his title count up to 30 (not counting his MVB or is ASCA titles). I'd also like to point out that Digital was my first competition dog of any sort and he's ALWAYS been owner-handled. Can you imagine what he could have accomplished with a more experienced handler?
good boy.
