Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.
Hello!

Last week, our family added an 11 week old Basenji named Fox Mulder! We have 3 kids (10, 12 & 16) and an 11 year old Chocolate Lab/ Husky mix named Pooka.
Fox is such a love - but of course, headstrong and a little defiant… We did a lot of research before taking him in, and have quite a bit of experince with other breeds. We are confident that with the right training and resources, we'll be a great fit! I joined the forum to hear success stories and to get to know the breed more. I am in love! -
Welcome, where did you get your b from? Some of us here are "related" by dog.
We also love photos, when you have time to post them.
There is a lot of good info here.
Glad you found us. -

You will hear many success stories on this forum but it is very much a warts and all type of place so you will also get the truth

Welcome!
2 questions:
1. Where did you get your screen name from "Brand X"–any chance it is a CF ref?
2. Are you in Indiana? I am just NW of Indy! -

Hi and welcome. I look forward to hearing lots about your new basenji and "his" family.
And yes, we are all picture lovers, so when you can, we'd love to see a few of Fox Mulder. -
Welcome to our pack. Just a word of wisdom - when training your beastie - I mean basenji - use clicker training with really tasty treats. They catch on much much faster to this type of training. With a name like Fox Mulder I'm sure you'll find he'll be investigating all sorts of weird things :p

BrandX,
How are the pups getting along? I love the X-files reference with B's. They always seem to travel in a different dimension than most other creatures and the truth is always over the next rise!
Have great fun
