Founded in April 1997, we are a club devoted to pet Basenjis, Basenji-mixes and their owners.
We Provide an extended community of care and support
for Basenjis and their owners.
We Share knowledge and information about the upbringing,
nurturing, training, safety, history and enjoyment of the companion
Basenji, a magical, but utterly unique (and sometimes trying) dog.
We Include education, celebration, support, and help
for Basenjis who have fallen on hard times in our life-circle of
caring for these, our Basenji Companions.
You are not alone with your Basenji. We are the largest organization dedicated to owners of pet Basenjis and Basenji-mixes in the world. We have members from all over the United States, Canada and several other countries.
