Marlene Monday, July 23rd 2007 - 10:17:22 PM maliu1@msn.com Hi,I'm considering purchasing a basenji in the near future so found your website -it's very nice. Just curious- a statement saying that the dogs must not be left alone in the house and must be penned - where did that come from? My parents owned a kennel and bred, trained and showed basenjis as well as being involved with the BCOA from the early 60's-mid 80's. (Rafiki Kennels in Chicago with dams and sires from Fula in England and Merlea in Canada) I also showed for many years including juniours Westminster. We always had the dogs in the house and never had any issues except with me & my 4 siblings who tore the house up,not the dogs. And they were left alone as well both in the house and the yard and had no troubles except for one who occasionally jumped the 6-foot fence to visit the neighbor who handed out treats & came back when he was done. Has something changed in the basenji behavior over the last 15-20 years to make them destructive? Or just the way they're being trained nowadays? Thx., Marlene

Sabina Rogers Sunday, April 17th 2005 - 09:10:39 AM sabinamarie2001@yahoo.com Hello, I've been really enjoying your web site about your dogs. I love how much you truly enjoy your dogs for their personalities and how much joy you get from their personalities. Your storytelling has me cracking up, too. I also have a basenji/avuvi (not really sure how to label him) that I brought back from Africa (Togo, next door to Benin). I'm writing to you for some advice about basenji/avuvis in general and my dog in particular. Oblo is a true village dog (of unknown parentage) that I had for about a year and a half before coming back to the US. In village I allowed him to behave as a Togolese dog does...roaming around village, hanging out with other dogs (and getting into fights with them when I wasn't there to stop it), and whatever else. I allowed that because I wasn't positive I'd bring him back, and I wanted to make sure he could survive without me. Anyway, I've brought him back and am concerned about some anti-social traits (aggressiveness, shyness, wariness) that he's got. To some degree he's always been shy/wary of strangers, but he used to always LOVE yovos (you know what those are, right? it's the same in Benin and Togo). Now, in the US, he can't deal, and I'm worried about him getting into trouble with some stranger who thinks he can pet any dog without a problem. I came across two little blurbs on your web site that caught my attention because they reminded me of Oblo (his name). When talking about Calypso Midnight Sun, you said you were reluctant to sell her because of "my fear that an inexperienced basenji owner would not know how to get the most out of her, character-wise. In fact, the owners of one of her sisters failed to properly supervise and firmly lead the headstrong african, resulting in serious aggression that went undeterred. Such is the consequence that well-meaning but non-Alpha basenji owners visit upon their dogs." You describe some typical "African shyness around strangers. Like their jungle relatives, they prefer to meet folks on their own terms and in their own time." You call it "reactionary behavior" and I find that's exactly what Oblo does: he snap at someone when they try to put a hand one him (to pet) or offer him a hand to sniff. (Funny enough, though, he doesn't mind people petting him with FEET. He's not afraid of feet.) Also, how does one acquire the Alpha traits. I think I am alpha to Oblo (for the most part), but my mom and brother could use a little instruction if that will help them deal with Oblo. I'm pretty sure Alpha is also the best description for my dog (most especially in his interactions with other dogs). He's no shrinking violet. Could you tell me a little what these "tests" are that "Alpha, well-adjusted basenjis like their pack leaders (us!!) [use] to keep proving that we are worthy of the position and title and respect"? I'm sorry for the never ending questions. I'm just so concerned for Oblo's well-fare and thought to try asking experts on the breed (and it's variations). Thank you in advance sooooooo much. Sabina Rogers ps, Caramel looks almost exactly like another dog from Togo that my neighbors had. Her name was Qui Sait l'Avenir ("who knows the future" in French), and she was very sweet tempered and fiercely protective of her family.

Robert Womack Saturday, April 16th 2005 - 12:33:00 AM storypeddler@yahoo.com Love your website. I'm in the process of looking to get a Basenji.

She couldn't be shown - she collapsed at the feet of any judge, awaiting tummy rubs. Maddie was a 'lap Princess', and a joy to know. She was a daughter of our Rhett and Tasha, but it was certainly Rhett that the whole litter copied. Sweet and loving, but a creatively criminal streak ran right up the middle!

Smith Sharpe Friday, May 2nd 2003 - 12:01:05 AM ssharpe@crlaine.com Iloved looking at your web site. Charlotte (my wife) grew up with Basenjis and would like to have another one. We have three children and have been waiting for the smallest of the three to grow up some before entering into the world of a basenji owner. I am attracted to the "function" and character of this breed. Lure coursing and hunting with this little guy seems like it could be lots of fun. You have wonderful "kids." Thank you, Smith

Alicia Clark Tuesday, January 21st 2003 - 03:43:01 AM vokalproductions@juno.com After I settle down in my new (permanent) home in Luray or Woodstock, VA in late Spring/early Summer, I plan to very seriously consider the rescue or fostering of Basenji's! I plan to make the property very animal friendly w/special doggie quarters!

Nancy Craigie Friday, January 17th 2003 - 07:23:11 AM nancycraigie@attbi.com Scott and I are so excited to be getting another of your beautiful puppies, Calypso Holiday Jazz Flutesong. Aland (Unona's Calypso Aland Flutesong) is by far the most pleasant male we have ever owned. He is a wonderful dog, I could write a book about all the great experiences we have had with him. Jazz will also be welcomed by Aland's cat, Stitch, a Bluepoint Munchkin. We can hardly wait for Jazz to join our family. Thank you so much Susan and Kevin. Best Regards, Nancy

SUSAN Friday, December 13th 2002 - 02:21:40 PM calypsobasenjis@yahoo.com DEAR CALYPSO FAMILY: don't forget to send us your holiday greetings w/pictures and stories of your Calypso basenji! After the holidays, I will be putting them together for our wonderful, dedicated Katja (web site designer, YEA!!!) to start working on THE FAMILY GALLERY. Of course, because we are talking about BASENJIS, it will be a ROGUE'S GALLERY,filled with little criminal masterminds, dontcha know! We want the funny, sometimes sad, most times MADDENING tales from your 'curlies' that you care to share. We all know that 'life among the savages' is not one-sided. It is filled with love and laughter, tears and .... caninicidal (?) thoughts! Basenjis inspire emotions to the 'nth' degree! So don't delay and wait for the Annual Calypso Kennel Letter to get to you before you write, send us your stuff now, while you are thinking about. GRANDMA SAYS SO! calypso at home: 727 Old Mt.Olive Hwy Dudley, NC 28333-5167 Thank you! susan (and Kevin)

Just thought of him during the weekend and miss him so! Thank you for sending us Darling Little Barbi - the cutests of them all. We hope to see home lovely little barbiedolls & -kens soon - can't wait to hold them on my laps and smell them! Best wishes for everyone and esp. to my grandkids! Tiina

susan Tuesday, November 12th 2002 - 08:35:40 AM calypsobasenjis@yahoo.com To Tux's Ladies in Finland - thank you so much for giving Mr.Traveling Show Boy such a wonderful time in your beautiful country back in 2000. He went so many places and met so many people, and the care and love he was given is treasured by me ( and I'm sure, by him, too!). You opened the door to the world of FCI and international showing to us both, and now the Calypso basenjis. Many folks 'over here' would never dream of leaving the States and putting themselves and their dogs on the line to compete against foreign-bred-and-shown basenjis, but now it is definitely a part of our world, and breeding philosophy. To me, it's not about winning, it's about wanting to meet other basenji folks and their dogs, and competing together, no matter the outcome. The 'point' is in showing up, making the effort to take the chance and saying 'I believe my dog is worthy, no matter what happens'. Winning is icing on the cake, and certainly eases the 'pain' of the expense of such long-distance competition, but even losing does not dim the pleasure of having made the effort and showing to the other competitors that, yes, I believe in the worthiness of what you are doing, too, and going head-to-head with you on your own turf. Competition for competition's sake, not some head game/glory-seeking. To my Finn friends who introduced all this to me in such a wonderfully welcoming way, I thank you with all my heart for bringing me this Gift, The World, through Tux and Aatu and their 'changing places'! Whereas once I was 'just' an American, I now see myself as 'of the world', and every place as somewhere I might want to visit with my dogs. Tomorrows are exciting possibilities,and if they include palm trees and white sand beaches, well, heaven, don't you think?!

Bobbie Wood Monday, September 30th 2002 - 06:02:45 PM bwood@shindaiwa.com I love the picture of Kevin with all the babies. And you're right, he's got those sunglasses on. I couldn't get a Calypso Basenji because you are so far away but I will always be grateful for your recommendation of a wonderful breeder here in Oregon. Life with my first Basenji has been an adventure to be sure!
