New baby in Texas family

    Hello from Azle, Texas USA! I have a new baby in the family named MAX. Had 2 basenjis over 8 years ago and very very unfortunate circumstances that forced us to rehome them through BRAT. In spite of being a "hypoallergenic" dog - my human son showed severe allergic reactions that put him in the hospital 2ce. He was treated daily for over 2 years after this. We have no idea to this day exactly what it really was but he has been proven clear of animal allergies.

    We are very grateful to have this new addition. I have waited a long time to get him and love him already. He is very smart and paper trained with treated pads in less than 20 hours. (WOW!) I am uncertain about much of his background but he is in good hands here. We bought him from a breeder near Houston and have had him for 5 days now.

    Being "hypoallergenic" is one of the biggest incorrect advertising of this breed… while they are usually good with people with allergies, they are by no means hypoallergenic...

    Good luck with your pup... curious about your statement about not knowing much on his background? Didn't the breeder give you all that?

    @macattack Thanks for that - I went to the AKC website and got his reg# and birthday AND one other brother. All that is registered from that litter. I added them both to the database this morning and they will appear later today when I re-upload it all. You can have hours of fun, exploring Charlie's ancestry ! Maybe we'll find others later -

    @eeeefarm: Active Basenjis normally have a good appetite and will eat themselves fat if given the opportunity. Would it were so. I know many like my first and 3rd who eat only to stay alive. I ALWAYS ALWAYS believed that picky eaters are made, not born. Sayblee proved me wrong by reaching skeletal range.. massive testing.. nothing. We started her on cyproheptadine, no problems from then on. Now, Cara also a problem. I do agree with everyone though… free feeding is rarely good and never with a problem eater. And that higher quality food is very good. They need less to get far better nutrition.

    Thanks! wanted to give her a good name since I fudged Beo's name…....named him Darby O'Gill and then realized weeks in that it spells 'Dog' so had to rush to change it. Named him Beo after Beowulf - because he seemed so anti-heroic and I never figured he'd be much of a protector. Name curse took over from there though. Bop-It should be safe from the name curse. Sound advice, trying to enjoy it while it lasts :)
