    Here is the link to the survey: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/thedvqs/ This was posted to the sub-Reddit, r/Basenji. I did not find the questionnaire difficult to navigate. Several of the questions had multiple choice box choices that did not pertain to Basenjis. I ended up writing paragraphs of descriptions.

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    Hi everyone, my 4-year old Frida (tricolor, spayed) has lost almost all of her fur on her belly, chest and now even throat and inner side of the legs. Also the sides of her torso are starting to discolor and the hair is thinning there as well. we have been to the vets and all her test are coming back negative, or normal. Yesterday we were at vet-dermatologist and she says it's probably alopecia X, even though basenjis are not a typical breed to get it. She did draw blood from her again to test for the sex-hormones balance, but that was rather on my insistence... The skin is otherwise completely healthy - no redness, soreness or itching. Did anyone else ever had this problem with their basenji and how did you deal with it - should i consider dressing her in thin layers on hot days to prevent sunburn? Any advice would be welcome! thank you

    Our "resident" Basenji dog trainer here in San Diego uses shock collars to "train" Basenjis. It makes me sick. I'm looking for any article that I can post that addresses the problems with shocking a Basenji - or any dog - in the name of training. Horrifically she puts this device in the hands of pet owners. I was a volunteer at the Humane Society where we put clickers in the hands of owners and I got to see first hand BAD timing. Badly timed rewards don't damage the dog (though aren't great for communication either). Badly timed shocks is just torture. Any articles that you know that I could pass along?

    @Saving said in Anal Gland Health Diet Adjustment (ideas?): scavenging on walks has increased though and that's quite annoying. LOL, omgosh! The amount of food tossed on the ground is astounding! And doodle will grab it up before I have any idea it's there! I wish I had a picture of the day she pulled a (whole) bagel out of a bush!

    👍 @tanza. His picture on the go fund me site is disturbing. He’s going to be a project for her. I really hope they’ll be successful together. I’m glad you reached out to help her with advice. I’ve been sharing the link and have been able to get few more people to donate.

    I so sorry for your loss. It is never easy losing one of our beloved pets. If you are on Reddit, there is a subreddit where you can request portraits of your pets that have passed on. Maybe you can have one created with both of your beloved Basenjis. https://www.reddit.com/r/RainbowBridgeBabies/comments/b21pu0/how_to_request_and_about_us/
