Hi guys! I am a granddad to a couple of basenjis and one of them sits weirdly - pic attached Does that ring a bell with anyone? Do any of you have a basenji that does the same or have seen one?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I’ve wanted a Basenji for years and am finally in a good place to get one. One issue - I live in Chicago where the winters are very cold. Does anyone here live in a similarly cold climate and have advice? Do they truly hate the cold so much that I won’t be able to walk them or play outside in fall/winter? If that’s the case, I’d rather get another breed that will be more comfortable.

Happy 4th birthday to Riddle B.

Hello everyone,

I have done quite a bit of research on dog breeds and my family and I fell in love with the basenji breed because of how unique and cool they are. We have a fairly big family with my wife and 4 kids.

I decided to reach out in this group and see if you guys have any suggestions for good basenji breeders close by the West Coast.

We can't wait to see your suggestions and hopefully be able to get the newest member of our family soon.

Thanks in advance!

Solana arrives this weekend and I want to make sure she gets the BEST food available. I know they need a lower protein diet than most breeds. With all these amazing whole food options, what is your favorite and why?

So, my 7 months old B, that I've had for 3 weeks now does not know how to play. Sometimes when he gets the zoomies starts biting very hard. There seems to be nothing I can do to make him stop this behaviour. Other times, he either rolls on the couch or my beg, chewing everything, refusing to come down. And then bites me too hard when ever I touch him. The good ol' ouch into ignoring him does nothing. Giving him a time out in the crate does nothing. What do you guys do to handle that behavior. He usually starts to destroy everything when that occurs.

I walk him many times a day, give him lots of attention, try to play with him( which he gives zero fucks about) and train him on the daily. Haaaaaalllllp I don't know what to do. I would not mind the biting if it wasn't so hard

This! It's always this, you've been warned.

Hi there ! I’m getting my Basenji girl this Friday and I just have a few questions. She’s 12 weeks old.

• Are there any supplements, oils, powders, etc, that you’d recommend adding to her food? I’m getting her the Farmers Dog food, which already has salmon oil.

• How often should I bathe her? I know they keep themselves fairly clean, but I would like to bathe her every now and then to desensitize her to baths for whenever she needs them when she’s older.

• Would you say that they make good companions overall? I know they’re very smart, not as much as “just happy to be with you” as a golden retriever for example, but is there potential for a good outing buddy? I wanna take her to the beach, parks, the boardwalk, just have her come places with me and hopefully enjoy it.

• Are they good in public around other people and dogs? Obviously this primarily will come down to temperament, training, & desensitization but just curious if there’s an overall consensus !

Thanks so much & can’t wait to join the Basenji fam !!
