It’s great that you’re doing your homework on the basenji. I think the reason you read all these “horror stories” is because they are not your typical dog. They are a beautiful and highly intelligent breed with a very strong prey drive. My Kembe is my first basenji but I was familiar with the breed because my brothers were basenji owners. I got her when she was 1years old - she was returned to the breeder by the previous owners. Kembe has never been destructive, she has free reign of our house, and I can leave her at home alone. It’s extremely important to exercise them regularly - especially exercise and stimulate their minds, and establish a routine (I can set my watch to my dog). They are definitely trainable - it scares me to see how smart she is and also well behaved. Basenjis are extremely lovable and hilariously funny. If I have a treat that my dog especially likes - she will do her whole “repertoire of tricks” without me even asking her. She dances to let me know it’s time to eat and will sit right next to me and hit me with her paw when she wants to go for her walk.
I think our basenji chose us - when we went to the breeders home to look at her - She jumped up next to my husband on the couch and curled up! I was sold on her! I really hope you find a basenji that right for you!

That is super. Well it had been a little cool here for a few days even had snow so heat may be ok. LOL… As my daughter say do we need baby destin to cool things down. I yell at my son and she yells baby destin.

Hmmm, you really need a b/w basenji on that bike. They look like they have built-in biker jackets. :D:D

They do don't they. It looks like it was a couple of out of control brindles.

B-mamma, did Otis get out, steal a bike, go for a joy ride and return home without you knowing it?
-
You know…he very well might have..he was trouble today, so he was scolded, maybe that got him out for a joyride...bad to the bone...
-
Too funny - reminds me of that video out of Japan of the dog riding the bicycle.
I think Gossy would do something like this - she loves fast cars -
It's amazing what they can do with photos these days - what a riot - off to join Sons of Anarchy maybe??
-
@Shaye's:
off to join Sons of Anarchy maybe??
They'd be distributing toilet paper to their affiliated groups instead of distributing guns…
Actually, a gang of Basenjis would be slightly concerning. I think we know what they can be capable of these days... :o

Slightly concerning??? Hoodlums! Thugs! They'd take over the world!:D:D
-
And don't we just love them !
-
OK, whose Basenjis stole my bike??? You're all laughing at me because you know who they are!
-
I think Otis might have had something to do with it. B-mamma said she had to scold him yesterday…;)
