Introducing 'ono' the basenji!

[Nemo]

She is very pretty. Sounds like Dude has been waiting for a friend to play with and now he has found her! Cute.

[irena]

She is cute little black girl :).
Btw "ono" means "it" in Czech.

[Buana]

What a great combination!!!

She looks very handsome…. (Can't wait to show your pict to my mom, she LOVES black Basenji's)

[MacPack]

She is darling! And Dude is a gentleman, I predict a long and happy bond between them!
Congratulations.

Lovely, did you get your pup the same breeder you got your r/w?
Thanks for the photos..they are wonderful.

@thunderbird8588:

Ono is gorgeous, what an appropriate name for a B ;)
/QUOTE]

what does that name mean?

@pacificNWbasenji:

Hey I have the same dog bed! Yay for Costco!

[pacificNWbasenji]

Ono is a Hawaiian word, used to describe something that is 'the best'
AND happens to be very basenji appropriate :)

We hesitated naming her something that so strongly resembled 'no' but we don't use 'no' very much in our training, we say 'hey' to get their attention and then give them another cue to follow when we are redirecting their behaviour.

The pups love the huge costco bed, and I love the great cedar smell :)
