  • Support, advice, and assistance to people having problems with their Basenjis.
  • Distribution of “Do You Know of a Basenji in Trouble?” posters to animal shelters, vets, etc.
  • Preparation and distribution of special education materials such as “So You Think You Want a Basenji” and a pamphlet on crate use.
  • Support of Basenji classes at occasional AKC All Breed and Obedience Trials.
