Three Good Basenjis

  • MacPackM

    After three hours playing at the dog park today, we decided to stop at an "event" at a local park, "Talking Animals". There was music, animal themed songs, and about 20 booths representing everything from different rescue groups to jewelry, a dog sketch artist (wish I had her do one of Topper), agility demos, all sorts of things. Almost everyone had their dog with them and we only saw a couple of snarks. My three were wonderful, sniffing noses and meet-and-greet with many dogs and kids. We were the only basenjis and a few people recognized the breed and they were good ambassadors. We got some food samples, a tennis ball, treat samples, and best if all we got a $10 coupon from our local pet food store, yea!

    My three old guys have slept all afternoon after all their excitement at the doggie-fair!

    What an awesome sounding day! Sounds like you all had a really great time. Can you scan the sketch? We'd all love to see it.

    What a fun time. Those are great events. We have them here, but the last one was not as organized as yours sounds it was. Still, people put in effort, and the dogs always seem to enjoy the get-together.

    Sorry Dan, I wish I HAD gotten a sketch done, but sadly did not. Only regret of the day! My guys were hot and ready to go home.

    Last I heard, the Breed Club secretaries had more people waiting or wanting pups than were available . You could get on a list for a Basenji next winter but I very much doubt you will find one still unsold. Go to the website of the BCGB, or the Northern Basenji Society as you are in the North and you will find email addresses of the secretaries. They will put you in touch with breeders who may be planning a litter for puppies to become ready to leave the nest in about a year's time. Its a long wait I know, but you have most probably missed the boat for now. You are welcome to post me privately. Good luck!

    I'm not sure why your pictures are not showing up. I'm going to experiment. [image: 1467823614030-bathtimex.jpg] O.K. that seems to work. I dragged and dropped it and I see it. Now to check whether others can also see it! This is a picture of my two girls, taken a long time ago......probably in the '80s. I am wondering if the picture you are trying to upload is too big. Trying that now. I am not seeing the picture I just uploaded, so that may be the problem. ![0_1467823932526_Bathtime.jpg](Uploading 100%) Yes, I think that is the key. Downsize your picture and I bet it will work properly. As you see, I get the same uploading message that you did, but no picture, when I try to upload a large file.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
