    She is not too old to train, but even saying that, she is a basenji, and no matter the age, a bored basenji will find things to entertain herself, often things we would prefer she not touch. A companion helps, but even so, given temptation a basenji will usually go for it. Think "baby-proof" your house with a baby who can climb, leap, dig and chew. As said above by others, toys which present a challenge will also help.

    I am lucky with my guy. Although he has attempted digging a few times and been told "no", he doesn't take advantage of my absence to pursue the habit. One exception was when I assume he was cold, and he dug his way under the comforter on the bed, managing to do some damage to the foamy we have on the bed to make it softer. (never assume the bed that felt soft enough in the showroom will be so when you get it home! :) ) He has free run of the house and seldom abuses the privilege. Obviously if the damage occurs when you are gone the only solution is to restrict his access to the things he is likely to harm. Or suffer the consequences. ;)

    @Janneke: Great pics! Your pups look wonderful! Is that a showleash around Haileys neck? Have you got plans to show her? Yes thats her showleash :D Well, we have plans to show her, she likes it to practise and she get so much better in shape since we have her. She only has trouble with touching by other people, thats someting we're working on now, if she's gonna like it, we think we try a clubmatch to see of she lika a whole show! @BasenjiDiva: Wonderful pictures! Poor Buana looks like an accordian! hahahaha yes! it's a shame he doesn't work proper… He yodels... he can't make an accordian sound! hahaha Pat @MacPack: Great photos, your boys are very masculine and strong-looking, and Hailey looks lovely. Everyone had a good time in the sunshine. Thanks a lot! the love the sun.. and after a long cold winter it's so nice to enjoy the sun! @AndrewnShango: I am just totally and thoroughly in love with Chafuko! :D Thanks!!! We love him soo much, he's our little joker… :D His caracter is also very nice, he is very playful and get every dog to play and every people to hug him hahaha Yesterday, I changed his wegpage. We're going to test him in a few weeks (we hope we can get an appointment soon) for his Hips(HD), his Theroid, HA and his eyes. Both parents tested free for fanconi but we're tinking about testing both boys also. And then, if there are breeders interested for Chafuko as stud, maybe he can be a daddy! (it's a shame, in Holland the breeders are so weird, they just won't take a not-breeders stud as our boys, out of principles... sigh...)

    Lexi's goes down for a number of reasons- she's scared, SUPER relaxed, or not feeling well. It's not always a bad thing though. And theirs always flattens out when they run! So funny! Miles's tail has a kink in it; I'll have to hold him down and take a pic of it… maybe tonight.
