Basenji Talk

So it may be with luggage, but pressurized and climate control. It did worry me that it could drop ti 41C, but that's rare. EDIT: " ​​Passengers flying on our Boeing 787​ aircraft, please note: The temperature in the cargo hold can drop to 5 degrees Centigrade​. ​" I meant 41 F, which is 5C. But I didn't fly on 787 so moot point anyway.

@debradownsouth Thanks you so much. We'll give it a try.

Cara does crazed spins on the bed. She sounds possessed.

I agree, and people with real needs are being the ones punished by the others. Friends with long time service dogs support the tightened regs, but some are bitter they have to jump through hoops because of it. You're also not new to basenjis. That helps.

@DebraDownSouth Well, I'm sure your dogs love it!

@Kafka45 , I've used booties on several basenjis over the years. My first used to wear them when we took runs in the winter during very cold snaps. I love putting them on a dog the first time .. the Lipizzaner effect is great! I'd put them on her 5-10 min at at time keeping an eye on her (in case she likes to chew on em) with some distraction if needed. She'll get used to them quick enough. You don't even need to do all 4 at once if she really hate em but she'd get accustomed to them more quickly with all 4. I like the fabric with Denier bases the best, I've seen and used the rubber bootie types and personally, it seemed my dogs didn't care for them as much. One's I have use a fleece top, Denier base/sole and simple elastic and velcro at top. Somewhat like link below but simpler ... had them >15 yrs so I don't see any quite the same. Not advocating those on link, just simply saying I myself don't care for the ones that seem to mimic human shoes ... especially if only used for 15 -20 min at a time. https://www.desertcart.ae/products/2743255-ultra-paws-durable-dog-boots-black-medium

Have you considered feeding raw food (meat and vegetables)? It worked wonders for our B's coat and overall health.

You might want to go to www.basenji.org and search for breeders in your area. If they are not close enough to visit, they may be able to connect you with people who they have placed puppies with.

This is DEFINITELY a Basenji Chi mix and NOT shiba. (Only the example of a Shiba is a Shiba for those who might be confused by the example pics.) Basenji has the white feet, white tip on tail AND the white spot at the nape, and the curled tail. does he/she "talk" ? My chi Basenji has an unusual talk that everyone loves. Some who know more about basenjis - a couple in the neighborhood who have 2 - call it the Basenji yodel.

I think that everyone has certain sleeping habits that seem to be strange to someone... It's normal! Just remember about http://onlineclassmentor.com/blog/20-things-students-should-stop-doing-in-school, since they are vital to be considered!

Yes email her! She usually gets back to me that day.

I live in N.J. U.S.A. & I adopted my male (5 yr. old ) male basenji for $75.00 from a shelter. You can always try there.. much more affordable

@EMurata said in Advice for potential basenji owner: The "weather permitting" part of your statement wont work with a Basenji. My dog doesnt care if its 100 degrees out or 10, she needs constant exercise. If outside exercise isn't available for whatever reason, mental exercise is a good substitute. Basenjis are very clever and if you keep their minds busy it often serves to minimize or avoid destructive behaviour. You are not going to wear a fit Basenji out by walking him or her a couple of hours a day, but I have seen them perfectly content to kick back and relax after half an hour of demanding mental exercise! Clicker training can be useful here.....

I think most are fine if properly socialized. Mine have varied from friendly to aloof, with my last one being somewhat untrustworthy and requiring supervision, particularly when people were leaving. Basenjis are curious and often will investigate purses, coats, etc. if given the chance. Theft of objects may occur. Agree with Debra, you need to learn more about the breed. Behaviour with strangers is not a frequent complaint, but mischief and destructiveness are.....
