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.
Hi from Montreal

Hi I am JF and I just wanted to introduce myself and Nero a beautiful black and white male Basenji.
He is great, very energetic when it's playtime, but also very quiet when I am sitting around at home.
Nero can be a bit mischievous (as you can see in the picture on the left) but for the most part, he is very well behaved.
He is now one year old and he was three m/o in the picture on the right.
Thats it
JF

Welcome
Nero is adorable.

Hi J-F and cutie pie Nero! Welcome!
What decent basenji would NOT want to pull all of that stuffing out… especially at the age of 3 months.
-
Your in for a lot of fun photos. Welcome. Glad you shared the photos above.
-
Welcome to you and Nero. Was that your initiation destuffing?
-
Nope, the last bed was a cheap one, so I sprung for a much sturdier and expensive one, thinking that it would do the trick.
It took a while but he did it. -
Hahaha I have given up on buying the B's nice expensive stuff, they don't appreciate it. They get Costco beds now…..good bed for $25! If they eat it we go get another one. They usually last for a good year or so.

Hi JF!
Who did you get your boy from? I have a Tri male who came from the Montreal area, he just turned 1 y/o, too… -
I got him from Elevage Josabry, in ST-Rock de L`Achigan, they are about 45 min east of Montreal.
