This would be the quietest playdate group of any animal, let alone dogs! Haha.
Except maybe cats. 🤗
Don’t forget that Basenjis may not bark but they’re by no means silent!
Isn’t that the truth!
...Wonderful, a curly tail paradise! :)
Ive got to say this this amazing! That group basenji 500 was my smile for the day!
That was an amazing meetup!
Love this! Wish I had a group like this for my baby girl when she was alive, but we had a great 16 years with her.
I didn't know what a Basenji was until an old lady at a dog park commented that she was sure my pup was a Basenji, and after a bit of research, I was convinced, too. My girl had a stub for a tail (was like that when she was found off the street), a tongue that always curled up, and the gentlest disposition. Miss her so much.
She sounds like she was sweet. 😁
Basenji heaven! My boy JoJo would love this 🐕♥️
I teared up watching this. I miss my basenji named dimi so much. Such a sweet dog. She had fanconi syndrome unfortunately
I’m so sorry! We lost our Ginger Snap to Fanconi syndrome as well. 😔
Fanconi is genetically predominant in this breed; there are attempts to breed the genetic predisposition of of the Basenji.
Yes, that’s true. That’s why dealing with a reputable breeder is so important.
Imagine if two owners mixed up their dogs there and went home with the wrong dog.
Why don’t you listen to me anymore? Hey-wait a minute!
I love this! We have two (Houston, TX). They would love this party!
It was an amazing time. Hope you guys are doing OK after that storm that blew through recently. I used to live in the Houston area.
We have had nine of these guys over the years! They will always be my favorite!
I miss my red basenji Nala so much! Surprised there were no brindles! If I ever get another basenji I’d like either a brindle or black, my heart couldn’t handle another red.
I totally understand. We have never had a brindle but we have had three reds and three Tri-color! They have the reputation of being the comedians of Basenjis! They truly are. We learned that it is better to have two Basenjis at the same time. We have had as many as four at a time. What Fun!
I love the black and white. Remind me of my old lady. Turned 16 this year
so fun to watch them ! never seen so many basenji's :)) surprised to see them playing in the water. I used to have 2 basenji, every time they step in the water on the street they tried to licked their paw clean, just like a cat
Yes, that was quite an amazing sight to see so many together! We had people from all over Florida that day and even one or two from out of state who came just for the meetup!
😌
So cute!
It is nice to have a Basenji on my list
This is so much fun
Those are defective Basenjis: they are going into water :)
Airdrie JonesReed 🤣🤣 that’s so funny! 🤣🤣
Mine would not even go outside to go to the bathroom if it raining. She just stopped at the door and looked at me as if I needed to turn the rain off so she could go out. She would make me wait for her at the door, so she didn't have to be cold for long. They HATE being cold.
LMAO
Was thinking same. They usually HATE water, don't they?
Yes, ours hate rain for sure! They don’t like going in our pool. But I think since it starts shallow they don’t mind going in the lake. 🤷🏽♂️ 🤣🐕🐕🐾🐾
These basenji vids started showing up recently and I think it's a sign to get another one. Even though I swore I wouldn't because mine lasted almost 18 years and it was so awful having to put him down that I promised myself I'd never go through that again.😞 But I love these dogs and think about finding a breeder. Goodest dogs! 🥰💯
It is tough saying goodbye, but it's so worth it. 💯
@@BasenjiAdventures Not really. I hate it. Had enough heartbreak for a lifetime, thank you.
I recall when we lost our previous two. It was extremely difficult to deal with. So I understand what you mean.
Ouuuuu) Great Basenji Army!!!)
So nice!!!
I can’t believe that they are playing in the water! My Basenjis never went into the water until I fell into a stream! They they all jumped in to save me. Of course we live in the Catskills so we only have lakes and streams and the water is COLD!
It is always amazing seeing Basenji‘s that are willing to go in water. That story of you falling in a stream and then jumping in to save you is absolutely amazing! It just goes to show that although they have cat in them, dog is first. 😁
I thought the same thing! I couldn't believe all the basenjis going in the water! My B fuses over the wet sidewalk next to the sprinklers!
Yeah mine hated the rain etc. But oddly enjoyed the water that would rush in at the beach, he'd jog through it. But other than that, he didn't like water.
35 basenjis...there WILL be mischief.
Well, DUH!
(I want video.)
This is almost as good, as that poor
young human stepped to laughter,
by 17 young monsters. I'm jealous!
steve
@@steveskouson9620 Let's be honest...1 basenji there will be mischief. Do you have one? I love basenjis.
That is true. Perfect example was this morning we were trying to compare the size of two blankets, one was on the floor and the other we were holding up above it. Next thing you knew Zinga grabbed it and started shaking it around. 🤣
@@BasenjiAdventures Maybe she was trying to tell you she doesn't like that one and if you are scrutinizing the blankets her two cents is: I don't like this one, get me another one. :)
😆 Nah, he just wanted to play.
This is so good!
This is freaking awesome!!!!!!
That was the best meetup we have had so far. Some owners came from as far as central and west Florida for that one. 😊
These Basenjis are so wicked fast! … Mine lived to be 17.5 years old and she never got to play with others of her breed. All the behaviors are spot on and even the elderly Basenji who can’t see very well is part of the action. My girl “ Bantu” really didn’t like water too much ...at one time she fell in a swimming pool and sunk! She was 15 at the time and boy we had to save her quick! Does anyone else know if Basenjis can swim? They have so much muscle mass it’s like she was just a rock in water.
Wow, 17.5 years! What a long life! 😁
If you’d like to see a swimming Basenji, check this video out: czcams.com/video/dGN7BWbgWYw/video.html
My Basenji lived to 15 years and 2 months and I thought THAT was long!!
My last Basenji, registered name Bit of Honey, call name Bitsy or Little Bits was also my first Basenji. Two days after her 17th birthday she had a stroke. Our other Basenji Pupcake was 15 and he suffered from Mega-esophagus and we fed him puréed food from a standing position on the stairs! When we knew we had to say goodbye to Bitsy we also said goodbye to Pupcake. They lived together and died together.
December in South Florida! Looks like Swedish summer! Nice film!
December is a great time here in Florida! 😀
This is the best video I've seen in weeks!
Really glad you liked it! If you want to see more of them running backwards, search for Basenji‘s running backwards.I still find it to be a good laugh from time to time. 🤣
We are picking up a basenji puppy in 3 weeks 😁
Congratulations!
Where did you get them from?
Congrats! You'll enjoy every second of them owning the shit out of you. lolol Just kidding. They're the most wonderful breed. Aspin from the Philippines are very similar. Extreme love for their family and will give their life to protect and comfort you.
@stephen k yeah she is an amazing dog, love her very much. We ended up calling her malia
Hey, congrats on getting your Basenji! Do you have an Instagram for her? We’d love to see pictures. And if you’d like to see her featured on our channel we’d love to do that for you! 😊
So cool!

DsI want to go and hang out with basenjis ALL day
i have a portuguese podengo who have much similar caracteristics, imagine them in Package hunting in nature, amazing dogs.
Notice the only put their legs and their twinkle toes into the water...that's enough of that! LOL
Some hate the water, but there are a few in the group that swim! Check out our other video from that park and you’ll see. 😊
@@BasenjiAdventures really? Our basenji hated being cold or wet and would not even go outside to pee unless we picked her up and put her outside and waited for her; I wish I was kidding. Then she would lay on the hot cement walkway in the summer or lay in front of the fire, or the heater--probably because she is from Africa. :)
It’s interesting how different they can be. Just like people, I guess. 🤗
Beat vid ive seen this week they were all super happy😢
I've love when they get around other dogs watchitng the short hair on their backs stand up. Usually when they are around a new dog. Through instincts they seeem to recognize their own breed right off the bat. They are an on-sight scent hound pack dog. When thjey growl at each other it actually their way of playing in a pack and they are very mischeievious.
My basenji has uncurled her tail all the way before. When she got out of the house without a leash, she got so scared i dont know why.
@yumpladukfoo Well in my 30+ years being around the breed i have noticed that they will stand facing up wind with their head titled up the air and their nostrils flaring to pick up a scent. While walking them they would stand still looking at a cat or a wild rabbit ready to sprint after it when i had them in a leash. Basenjis are different they are a combination of both sight and scent abilities. The Basenji was recognized as a breed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1944 and the United Kennel Club (UKC) in 1948.
My Basenji will not even step in a puddle! No water! She loves nothing more than being chased. She seems to run faster than these dogs.
Couldn’t get our last basenji to even step in water!
We were surprised when Zulu went into the lake! 😁
I have a basenji and she actually barks like a regular dog
The exception that proves the rule? 😁
My Rotti Lab mix taught two of my Basenjis to bark. And they taught her yodel! When my Basenjis woke up in the morning they would “woof” once and then start yodeling to tell me it’s time to get up!. I miss my Bitsy and Pupcake so much.😥
@@911lynn Thank you for sharing your story with me. My basenji was a year and old when she was given to me. She's now 6 and half year's old. When we moved to our new apartment she would bark like crazy at everyone now she has only yodeled twice since moving here. And I have gotten her to quit barking at everyone when we our outside. But she will bark in the house at people walking by
Only thing better than a basenji is 35 basenji's!!!
Is that is heaven
Probably as close as they are going to get on this side. 🤗
This looks wonderful. Where does this take place? I have a one-year-old red and white Basenji but we’re in the Tampa area.
It was an amazing day for sure. That was a few years back though and the people who were organizing the monthly meetup aren't doing it any longer. I'm not aware of any current meetups in the area now.
Mine would find the hole in the fence and sound like she's dying when I give her a bath to wash the lake water off. Oh, the joy❣❣❣❣
They can be quite dramatic when it comes to water. 🤣
Poor baby, they don't need all that many baths though since they groom like cats do, twice a year is fine.
Man it’d be pretty hard to find my dog here, but I’d just have to look for the heart on her back. My other basenji though is so generic it’d be so easy to lose him
Mine shrieks, like a scream
Our Ginger used to make some noise. czcams.com/video/sQxY7AWF4O4/video.htmlsi=FD_9KmQH6m_4J5VM
Psst, guys! If you go too far into the water, you'll turn into a seal. Be careful!
They seem to have a great time!! What is the location of this dog park?
They love it there! It’s called Performance Pups. It’s in Dania Beach. 😊
No brindle representation ;(. Whatever makes my guy seem even more special :D
Brindles are so beautiful!
a quiet place :D
A fun place! 😁🐕🐕🐾🐾
My mostly basenji (mixed with a little rat terrier) HATES getting wet lol figured they all did
We were quite surprised to see how many didn't mind going in the water. 😁
Hello! Where in south Florida is this? What's the name of the dog park? I'll be near Clearwater/st Petersburg area in May. I saw on the map there's the passe grille dog beach and we're definitely gonna check that out. I would love to take my girl somewhere enclosed like this!
Hi. This is near Fort Lauderdale on the East Coast. The park is called performance pups. We haven't had that meet up in about three years now however. The couple who was hosting it had a baby and was no longer able to commit to organizing it.
They are going to sleep good tonight..
Not one brindle that’s crazy
They’re the rarest. We’ve only ever seen a few.
Самая моя любимая порода собак. ♥️
наш любимый тоже!
My two Basenji HATE water XD
christian karlsson Some do. 🤗
@@BasenjiAdventures Even the ones who go into the water are very wary of it. Probably because it's in their DNA to fear it due to water being a place that many species, including those unseen, congregate. They don't want to be eaten by a croc or other species. They're just very cautious in water environments. They don't have the same ability in water environments.
I never thought of it that way... sounds reasonable though. 😊
Me and my partner we fell in love and we looking for one. We never met any Basenji but read a lot about this dog. What would be the most important tip/advise for us? We both working full time so 8 hours not at home. We have small garden.
Greetings from New Zealand.
Hi. It might be challenging with a puppy if no one can be home for 8 hours. Especially with a Basenji. They have a lot of energy, and need a lot of playtime and activity. Once they’re past the puppy stage, it shouldn’t be a problem staying alone for eight hours, but be prepared for a few hours of active playtime after you get home. They need lots of walks and social interaction too. 😊
@@BasenjiAdventures that what we tought hehe. Maybe we will look for treadmill for dogs while we are away to help Basenji release the energy ;) Anyway love your YT channel.
@@maciejjaroszewski You have to get video of that. 😁
They are super intelligent and can cause tons of damage to your home if left unstimulated for hours at a time. If you do get one, please make sure to take them on a run in the morning before leaving, play a the game fox on a stick but don't let them win right off the bat. Make them chase and jump and sprint. Then they'll probably do well at home and in the yard.
Love the video! Where in south Florida is this park located? We pick up our Basenji puppy in two weeks. We live in Palm Beach.
Oh how exciting! The park is called Performance Pups, and it’s located in Dania Beach right behind Bass Pro Shop/Outdoor World. If you search on Google maps you’ll find it. Have you joined the local Basenji meet up group on Facebook yet? facebook.com/groups/SouthFloridaBasenjiMeetups/?ref=share
@@BasenjiAdventures Yes, I did. I was just invited to the next meet up on 3/7. I won't have my pup until the week after but may stop by to say hello!
Excellent! Look forward to meeting you!
I miss Graham Cracker too (and Ginger). Reminded me of old man Sparky. Gray face, tail not so tight, move a little slower.
Yeah, we miss Sparky too! 🥰
No barking at all! They are really barkless! I love dogs but living in an apartment, cant afford a barking dog. They are very beautiful and smart too. I need a puppy now!
True that they don’t bark. However they can make some noise. Check out this video to hear what they can sound like. 🤗 Let me know what you think. czcams.com/video/b0vyqjUCJ6s/video.html
@@BasenjiAdventures haha, great! I guess I am back to the idea of adopting a cat instead :)
Just so you know, ours only did that when we encouraged them to, with the exception of when we first got them and left them alone. They had a bit of separation anxiety for a while, but once they got used to being alone they were fine. 😊
And even though they are fairly perfect for an apartment, they aren't couch potatoes and require loads of exercise and are the second hardest dog to train, so they're pretty much like cats in their difficultly to teach.
Before you get a Basenji please read the book “So you think you want a Basenji “. This booklet will open your eyes! Even though my husband is a dog trainer and had researched the breed for over a year we got the book. Also, you need to find a reputable breeder. A good breeder will interview you about your home and your lifestyle because a good breeder won’t sell a Basenji to an unknown buyer.
What did you put in the water - I grew up with Basenji and have never seen a Basenji willing go near water
We were surprised too! 🤗
I think there were some balls and toys in there.
i have never seen a fat basenji until this video 1:16 (red basenji)
We once met one that was 35 lbs!
hunting game lol
Oh yeah. They had a blast!
My basenji kofi is My best friend
They are super quiet... I am used to malinois
Yes, they are usually very quiet. 😊
Here’s what they can sound like at times.
czcams.com/video/b0vyqjUCJ6s/video.html
@@BasenjiAdventures yes I was looking at their yodel this morning:) love their sounds
😊
Malinois’ are beautiful dogs
Where can I get a Basenji in Miami!?
I don’t know of any breeders in Miami, but the breeder we got our dogs from is in Central Florida, and she may know someone down this way. If you’d like me to put you in touch with her, send me an email. You can find it in the about section.
Do these Meetups happen on a regular basis?
They were happening every couple months before Covid. There’s been one since. Look for South Florida Basenji meet up group on Facebook. 😊
The black and white look very much like my dog. Only the tail is different. He’s definitely not a basenji, he’s a rescue from Spain. And he barks, although not much, he prefers to whimper and squeak. But he can’t sing.
Very cool! What's his name? 😊
@@BasenjiAdventures Santo. But he also listens to konijntje. That’s Dutch for little rabbit.
Nice! Are you from Amsterdam? My wife and I visited there a few years ago and we loved it!
@@BasenjiAdventures no from Amersfoort. Chosen to be the European City of the Year, just last month.
But it’s not that far from Amsterdam, 50 minutes by train.
And when you loved Amsterdam, you also would love Amersfoort. It’s more medieval and very romantic.
@@jannetteberends8730 I see. I think I meant to say the Netherlands instead of Amsterdam. That would be like someone assuming I am from say, Iowa specifically instead of the more general United States. 🤭 That does sound like an amazing place to visit. We were in Amsterdam because we had a cruise that left from there so we weren't able to explore very far, but if we ever make it back to the area we definitely want to try to get out from that area a little bit more and see other cities in the area.
Where In south Florida?
That was at a dog park in Dania beach called Performance Pups.
@@BasenjiAdventures awesome! We are getting our first Basenji on Xmas so I’m looking for a little community and some buddies for our Newest family member 😌
Congratulations! Are you in South FL too?
I love how they play chase but they aren't chasing anything. Zipping around like a lion is chasing them. Pssst. there is no lion guys.
They’re chasing each other. 😊
@@BasenjiAdventures Not really. When they catch up and surpass each other it's hilarious. When you are chasing something and you catch up--there is catching. Basenjis just like the running part. It is funny.
That’s true -they just like to run!
Any puppies for sale
The best place to find yourself a Basenji puppy would be to go on Facebook and look up some of the basenji groups there. You always want to deal with a reputable breeder, and you’ll find plenty there. 😊
I would like to know why my basenji Nikita doesn't like other dogs she's attacked two dogs here in my apartment complex and made one go to the emergency vet
We have noticed when walking Zinga and Zulu that some dogs seem to cause an emotional reaction when they see them while others don’t. I’m not sure why this happens, but there are probably some really good resources on CZcams from professional trainers that could explain it and offer suggestions on how to correct it.
@@BasenjiAdventures Thank you very much. I've been thinking about having her go through some training.
@@kattmcknight I think that’s always a good thing as long as you find the right trainer. 😊
@@BasenjiAdventures yes, I know how hard it is to train a basenji. In the 5 and half year's that I have had her. She's learned to tell me when she needs to go potty. She will sit until I get the leash on and open the door.
We’ll that’s good. 😊 They’re very motivated by treats. We’ve been able to train all ours to do basic tricks that way.
I'm afraid to let my dogs near the water living in FL.
Understandable. That lake was safe though. People go in it too. It's far enough from the Everglades to be free from gators. 🐊 😁
I want a Baseji. Can you help me find one in my area? 😁😁😁😁😁😉
I'm in Washington DC
Hi! Have you seen the Basenji groups on Facebook? There are several, and there are so many people in them that I’ll bet someone there could connect you with a breeder near you. Also be sure to check out Basenji Rescue. They have a group on FB too. 😊
@@BasenjiAdventures Thanks!
South Florida......hope someone is making sure there aren’t any ‘gators in that water!
Don’t worry. It’s an inland man-made lake that isn’t near any natural bodies of water for gators to get into it. 😊
@@BasenjiAdventures.....thanks for the reply. I had my precious Benji the Basenji for over 15 years and never let him anywhere near the water’s edge here in Florida.
That’s usually wise. 😊
Aww that one fat one... Hope they got him to a healthy weight after seeing all the other fit dogs.
My Basenji hates water...
They are very cat-like. 🤗
Alligators ugh
I don’t believe they’ve ever had a problem there with gators.
Eles não gostam de água 💦 Kkkkkkkk!
Verdade!🤣
Совсем не боятся воды. Купаются довольные 😂❤прям тусовка басяток😊🎉❤
