It's been my experience that sometimes my basenji just gets it in her head that she doesn't like another dog, and for seemingly no good reason. I have been able to mitigate her behavior, but this is not a cure….
First, an excited basenji is a biting basenji. Make sure he's calm. Make him sit. Exert your dominance. Stand over your dog, look him in the eye. You need to snap him out of his mindset and remind him that you're in charge and he doesn't need to be aggressive.
It will take time and patience, but he can be made more comfortable...
I've also found that walking together as a "pack" helps. The two humans in the middle, the dogs held on a very short leash to either side, and you ignore your dog's aggression, focusing them on the walk itself. After a short while, they should just about forget one another. But this also acclimates them to each other. Good luck!
New years Eve Pup

How exciting! It's very hard waiting. We will love to see pics when you get he or she.
-
The Kennel affix is Robelroy.
Dan you will be bored to tears with my pics when i get her
-
Do they have a web site?
-
No our breeder doesn't have a web site. We met at several shows and we are very happy with the temperament of her Dogs. Healthwise i am satisfied that everything is good. The info gained on this forum has been extremely helpful.
-
I see a few of their dogs on Sally's pedigree site (with Robelroy as the kennel name) which ones did she breed?
-
At this point i dont want to give out info which we feel belongs to the breeder, but of course once the Pup is ours i will be talking non stop about the Pup
-
Hooray, Shelley. I look forward to seeing your baby both in pictures and reality once she's old enough!

Good luck on your potential pup… hopefully DNA for Fanconi was done before breeding as there are a few not tested on Sally's site
-
Woohoo!!! Congrats! Maybe I missed it.. But are you getting a male or a female? Can't wait to see the pics!!

The breeder in question is responsible and has tested her dogs for Fanconi.
I look forward to seeing your pics Shelley.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes, we will be able to go see the pups at about 3 weeks but wont be able to pick untill the breeder has picked hers.
We have of course checked that the dogs used in the breeding have been DNA tested for Fanconi. As Gerry has said we have picked a responsible breeder. -
Most responsible breeders are happy to share their litter details so I think it just came across as odd that you would not be able to share the litter details until you brought your puppy home.
-
Only just found this thread, huge congrats Shelley, that is fantastic news!!
I can also say that she has chosen a very respected, responsible breeder. I am benched next to this breeder at almost all the shows and she is certainly very knowledgeable about the breed and is very much in favour of health testing
I also dont think it is odd that Shelley does not want to share the litter details. I was the same with Maya, until she was officially mine i did not want to talk too much about it (didnt want to tempt fate!!), and also if the breeder wants to discuss her breeding im sure she could come on here herself to do it, all the pedigrees and health testing are on the internet for people to see anyway though
-
Congrats Shelley - bet you can't wait! Can't wait to see pics of the new arrival when you have him/her home!
-
Congrats!
Not sure where you're from but we always watch Anderson Cooper on New Years Eve. Maybe you can call him Cooper!
