  • Hello an welcome to the forum, please grace us us with pictures

  • @Sibbas:

    Hi, I live in the UK and have owned Basenjis for 24 years. Used to be quite active in showing, and bred a few litters but no longer breed, and my youngest Basenji is 5 so not much showing now either.

    Hello fellow brit:D

    It's nice to see someone from the UK on here apart from myself.

    What is your affix?

  • Hi Seko
    My affix is Keriquel (which is a place in France, I understand!).
    Hi WBL
    I'm sorry to say I have no Basenji pics on this computer but I will sort that out.
    Hi Basi
    I know you! :)
    How are you doing?

  • Hi there I thought it was you;)

    I'm fine thanks.

    I take it you are no longer showing the Basenjis then?
    Are you still showing the Sibes?

  • I show Harvey (the 5 year old) very occasionally and try to to show the huskies a bit, but the cost of showing in the UK now has increased so much it's just not possible to show as much as I'd like. Pity, because I have quite a few young huskies who could do really well, including 2 with a CC.

    Hi Seko

    Yes, 2 villages in Brittany are called like that!

  • Welcome to the forum - tell us more about the beasties you still own. :)

  • @Rafismom:

    Thanks to the amazing Cheryl-Hanks mom and Kevin and Dr. Gonto we are on our way to trying everything known on Fanconi. All your posts meant the world to me! Rafi is not going to have an easy road-we caught it very late.

    Could I just ask - as I'm new to this forum but not to forums in general - why has this post and the one that follows it been made in my introduction thread? I really do think it belongs somewhere else. :confused:

  • It probably happened by accident. If a person is in a hurry and didn't notice that the first post in a thread has changed they could accidently post to the wrong thread. The Admin can probably fix it.

  • I moved the conversation to the right thread, it must have happened by accident.

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    @Rita: Pat yes we did get Jaycee's AKC application at the time we got her. Have not got cert back yet as we were really slow in her name made us slow in mailing. Rita Jean Great, it would be good if you gave Sally W the information for her website to update the pedigrees. Many of us rely heavily on the pedigree site when thinking about breeding and researching dogs…. You can do contact Sally at Zande Basenjis (just do a seach for her website and drop her an email with the info)....

    I wouldn't recommend getting a basenji until you've organized your new schedule with baby. basenjis are wonderful dogs, but require a lot of attention and stimulation. If you can't provide that, he could become a frustrated dog and cause mischeif. I've also read that they aren't the best with children. I haven't had the best experience with my basenji and daughter. It has a lot to do with the fact that we can't give him sufficient attention and exercise like he needs. he also hasn't adjusted to my daughter's presence either. that may not be a problem for you because you're having baby first then dog. they say its always a plus because it allows the child to establish a dominence over the dog, since child was there first. i don't want to be a sour apple, but i just want to let families with children know that it can be difficult and dangerous if proper care isn't given. its also unfair to the precious breed if they cant have the active life they need and crave.
