mauigirl lives in Dunwoody!!! She has two, and she is always looking to meet other basenji people!! (I just recently moved from there). I'll alert her & let her know you're here!
Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him.

Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.
@setidog:
Kenji is absolutely adorable!!! You are going to have so much fun with him!
@Patty:
What beautiful puppies- I particulalry love the red/whites (I mustn't let my tri-colour Miggy hear that!!)
@crystalncody:
Kenji is adorable! Well, they all are!
@Arwen:
The photos have caused a great deal of oooh and ahhing here at work. I want that little red girl. I love all the colors but am really drawn to the red/whites. :) But no puppies for me.
Thanks, we are look forward to our little guy coming home. I'll be putting more pictures up once we get him.
I was struck by the fact that your Bernese lived to be 20 years old! Wow! I know they have had concerns with cancer in the breed, and very few of them live that long. How wonderful for you that you got to have her for that long.
