• Welcome to our community! There is plenty of information and great members always willing to help.


  • Welcome to the forum! B's are great πŸ˜ƒ


  • Welcome! What part of Northern VA if I may ask? My boyfriend & I are both from the area & recently I moved back up to MD from Florida.


  • We're in the area too! Let me know if you want to have a meet up!!
    If you're going to be around, the Reston Town Center is having a Pet Fiesta (and Dog Walk) this Saturday from 10am-4pm. We'll be the ones with the two basenji's… πŸ˜‰ hahahah...

    I would definitely recommend meeting the breed in person, if you haven't done so already. This forum is great- it will show you all the woes, laughs, and loves that come with having a Basenji in your family. πŸ™‚

    Oh man!!! I know exactly where that is as my boyfriend lived in Ashburn prior to us moving to Florida last year. Too bad I am out of the state until Saturday night 😞 But we'll definitely have to meet up somewhere now!!!


  • Welcome. So glad you have found this forum. It is a wealth of information for you as you consider if this great breed will be a good fit in your life.


  • Thanks – I'll stop by. Reston Town Center isn't too far from me. If I don't see any Basenjis tomorrow, I'm going to try to get to the MD outing on 1 June.

    The one in Westminster?


  • Hopefully Lexi & Miles made a good impression on you, LadyEagle1998!!


  • Welcome! I strongly agree that you should meet a B in person. They are very catlight in their movements, and Cyrus even grooms himself like a cat. Cyrus is very independent, but also very strong-willed. To further complicate matters, he is clever and good at gettting his own way. If you want a challenging yet loving breed, a B is a good choice. Once a B decides you are a worthwhile human being, they are very devoted but not in a needy way like some other breeds. Enjoy the forum!
