Meet the Basenjis ~
Pippi (mSBOS DC Khani's Achtung Baby SC
AOM) is truly a spoiled princess; from
surveying her yard from atop the trampoline to
relaxing in the recliner, she has stolen our
hearts and is wonderful ambassador for the
basenji breed. We were told from the start that
basenjis are like potato chips... you can't have
just one! It must be true - along came T.K. (DC
Devils Peak TW Call of Duty SC).
T.K. and Pippi became fast friends and enjoy
running the Basenji 500 throughout the house
and yard. T.K. and Pip both spend more time
nowadays as couch potatoes and just hit
specialty shows.
In 2006 T.K. sired a litter at Tazamisha
Basenjis - which brought us Twist, a little red
basenji girl (mBIF SBIF FC Tazamisha Shasta
Tiki Twist SC). Twist has her daddy's silly
attitude, spunk and desire to run! Twisty is
major pointed and on her way to becoming a
Dual Champion just like her dad!
Our "Best Opp Queen" and
latest Dual Champion!
What is a Basenji?
Basenjis are better known as the barkless dog of Africa but are far from silent!
Most make yodeling or "baroo" noises and can scream like a baby should they not
like something, such as being locked in their crate. "Bantu", meaning "native to
the bush", is also thought to mean "basenji" in some African dialects where natives
still hunt with their dogs today. The Basenji is an athletic, intelligent dog that is very
cat-like. It is a member of the site hound group and has a very strong prey drive
and desire to run. Looking for an easily trained dog that hangs on your every
command and can run off leash at the park? The Basenji might not be the dog for
you! The Basenji can be aloof with strangers and stubborn at times, but they
are loyal companions to the patient owner.
