  • Hi Wizard, and welcome to the forum. It's an invaluable asset to me in my life w/two B's.
    Your boy sounds fun!
    Pictures coming anytime soon?

  • Hello and welcome!! I too have a squirrel obsessed basenji (mixed with whippet). As I type this, she is at the window…. watching for the squirrels!!

  • Welcome..I'm in PA but we have friends in northern Minnesota. How's your guy like those cold winters. It's only fall and my B is already getting whimpy. I love this forum it's lots of fun and helpful.

  • Welcome - from a fellow MN. Where do you live?

  • I finally got a couple of pictures of EL D up on the members gallery page.

    We live in the suburban Twin Cities area with a big enough yard so El D can run around enough to work off some energy. Even though he's an "only dog" there's enough neighbor dogs to keep him happy in the pee loop. He has the run of the house while I'm at work (surprisingly without problems) and burrows under the bed covers. I have a coat for him for winter walks but he barely tolerates it.

  • Aww, he's so sweet! Thanks for sharing!

  • Hello back at'cha from another fellow Minnesotan (East Bethel)! Welcome!

    El D is a very handsome boy. Thanks for sharing pix! My Magnum will be 4 this year, too.

  • I am from west of Minneapolis in Buffalo, MN

  • I'm in Blaine. I met a lady with a tricolor who lives in my neighborhood. I didn't realize there were so many in MN!

  • Well there are a couple of us breeders. Sally Wuornos of Sonbar Basenjis and Me, MIJOKR Basenjis. Up North there is Cresendo Basenjis (although she has not been breeding or showing lately and Faded Rose also not breeding often. down South Ankuh Basenjis - limited breeding) There are also 2 active puppy mills, one in Foley and one in Walnut Creek as well as another in Eau Clare WI that all sell animals and encourage breeding.

    So as you can see - some good some not so good producers of basenjis. Add to that people that move here with the dogs - the rescue dogs that we've all found homes for in MN and voila - quite a basenji community.

    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    Hi Matt, welcome! Yeah, all basenjis are unique, and they are all alike! It's fun to read other people's stories and think, OMG my dogs does that exact same thing!
