Elsa is now 9 months old and doing great. We are considering getting another Basenji. Would like anyones opinions on if she is still to young to introduce another dog to the home? Getting a male or a female? Pros and cons on multiples? and what age dog to get. Thank you everyone for your input.
I love at least two, they will play and keep each other company. I would think she is prime for a playmate at her age. You could get another puppy, or a young adult. Lots of 3-4 month old pups with BRAT in Florida, hint, hint.
We got our second B (Miles) when Akeyla was 11months and Miles was 10months. They get along super!! I agree that you should get male if you have a female or vise versa.
I think they all do that if they think it will get them released. AJ's almost 7 years old and still does that. Once he understands I'm not going to let him out just because he cries, he quiets down. After he's quiet for a few minutes, I open the crate and let him out. He stops crying faster each time.
Sharron! Thanks!
I'll look for a copy of the book. My family hikes a bit, but haven't taken the dogs out yet.
LOL, we're always prepared to have to carry a kid back, so a dog should not be a problem. ;-)
Please tell Teriann thank you also.
It is good to hear that Las Vegas is pet friendly. I am going to Las Vegas this weekend for a dog show. We are actually staying in Hendersen in the Residence Inn which allows dogs and is close to the show grounds.
@Tayda_Lenny:
Hello! there is a possibility that Tayda, Lenny and I will be moving Northern California in the next few months! I noticed there are a lot of Northern Californians on the forum and I'm wondering where the really dog friendly area are. I might be working in San Jose, and would prefer to live about 1/2 hour north - maybe in Freemont/Union City/Newark area. Is this area dog friendly? Are there fenced in Dog Parks around?
Hello there! I live in Cupertino and work in San Jose. Here are two websites that will tell you what dog parks, trails and even hotels you can take your B to.
