New baby sister (actually daughter!)

SeattleMax — Sun, 11 Jan 2026 01:49:23 GMT

Hi All,

It has been a looooong time since I posted. Sherri and I were owners of Shaun and Mbali in Seattle. Shaun was a champion around 2010 or so in Washington state.

Shaun just turned 16 and is doing great. Sadly we lost Mbali to cancer last fall, shortly before her 15th birthday.

We spent a few months recovering from the loss before mentioning it to Shaun’s breeder. She offered us a 4-year-old female that she was not going to breed. The main reason is that little Karma is Shaun’s daughter! All of this was a total surprise and happened very quickly. Karma is slowly settling in to her new life as a pampered house pet.

We have had a couple of scares with the clasp on Karma’s leash failing so we are researching the best option for a Basenji proof leash/collar/clasp system. Will start a separate thread on that.

Here is a very recent photo of Karma and Shaun at Doe Bay on Orcas Island (Washington state)…

A fine looking Basenji!

Looking for training options...

elbrant — Sun, 28 May 2023 16:35:28 GMT

I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

Safi is 1 today

@elbrant Yes, she's good an patient sometimes, I've been taking pics of her from day 1 so she's used to it, I'm allowed a couple of mins and no more though.

Pharaoh turned two and I think I want another…

Saving — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 04:16:43 GMT

Nice looking dog! I'm tempted to get another too once Safi is a bit older.

Many thanks, @Kembe!

@Vesna Very pretty girl. Look at that face. Just wanna squeeze it and kiss it. Scratch the base of that tail and tickle her with my fingers right at the base of the cute little ears. Does she get to sleep on the bed and climb up on the couch? I kinda put my foot down at climbing on the tables, but I always crack up when I forget to push the chairs in and make it to the top.

I didn't even know there was a pet version, @macattack. I use one from the hardware store. Possibly even cheaper ! Mine get a 'special bickie' after each session and don't mind a bit.

Thanks for the nice comments! For those providing a word of caution, don't worry, I saw this meme once and I keep it in the back of my mind to try and stay prepared 😆 [image: 1650621904252-120553645_2427065937418394_5833314615453835140_n.jpg]

@jengosmonkey Indeed!! Such a wonderful breed, I must make sure people know about Bs!

@jkent said in Ellie @ 22 months: @eeeefarm it worked - I emailed it to myself and then uploaded it from downloads on my phone, rather than the photo gallery - thanks for the advice! You are most welcome! I figured this one out from sending pictures in email from my iPod. With my desktop I have a good graphic utility and downsize specifically to the measurements I want, but phones can be trickier. Big files are unnecessary and many sites don't allow them, also a problem sending large files on email.

Still don't like the rain, mom!

Adorable! ♥️🥰

Is Banjo part Basenji?

JENGOSMonkey — Tue, 04 Jan 2022 16:10:53 GMT

@libstrong Yeah, our standard answer has been... get a DNA test to get a bit more certainty. But, who cares really. He is what he is. I love his doughnut bagel tail. He sounds like a fantastic doggie! Smart, affectionate, sticks with you on walks... sounds like an awesome little dude to me. Welcome to forum too!

Who's B sits like this?

@jkent Awesome! Doodle brought a tennis ball home from a walk one day... but she doesn't know what to do with it. LOL
