    Hi! My name is Merry and I am an artist and craftsperson living in Redmond, WA with my hubby who makes video games for a living and my rather lazy, 13 year old Basenji named Tano.

    Tano didn't used to be so lazy but I think after so many years living with a pair of crazy Boston Terriers who needed constant reminding who was 'top dog' she's decided to kick back and take it easy now that we've moved into our new, Boston-free, townhouse. Nowadays she's satisfied with curling up on her sock monkey blankie and going for the occasional tear up and down the stairs.

    Welcome to the Forums Merry & Tano. Sounds like your senior girl is having a privileged life now. My name is Jill and have 2 B-mixes. This is a wonderful place for info and gab about our B's. Enjoy!

    Mallia is the third Basenji we have the pleasure of having in the last 30 years. She is a female where as the first two were males.

    @Phoenix44: Thanks for the warm welcome! I received Kaya when she was 8 weeks. She is usually mouthy during all play; I usually cannot pet her unless she is preoccupied with a toy (which I try to supply a lot of). I've tried the yelping, walking away, gently putting my finger underneath her tongue, water bottle spay…. pretty much every little trick (except hitting/yelling of course). I'm now working more on the positive reinforcement for stopping or being gentle. She shouldn't be too tired as I have a pretty good crate training schedule. I am hoping that this puppy class will help a little with the bite inhibition with the other pups. I will also contact the breeder (thanks tanza) this week and ask some questions. Thanks again for everything!! In puppy class, they really don't get that much time for interacting for learning bite inhibition. I would maybe guess she was removed from the litter to young to have learned this from her littermates or any other adults, like her Mom. It take time and lots of patience to teach "soft bite".. or no mouthing… and also a tired Basenji is a good Basenji. How much time is she spending in a crate? There are lots of threads on this Forum about puppies and play biting. You didn't comment about Fanconi testing? Were the Sire and Dam of your puppy tested?

    Hi Kiro, Welcome our neck of the woods. I live just a bit past Emmittsburg in PA so I'm not too far. The Mid-Atlantic Basenji Club meets at the Carroll County Agricultural Center right there in Westminster. Our next meeting is 1 June and there will also be a spring fun match that same day. It starts at 0900. There is a Yahoo group for the club that has info about the event. It's fun and games. It's really neat to see so many basenjis in one place. Hope you can make it. It's a nice club to belong to. Karen

    Dave hello, I also am new to this site. I had my frist Basenji for sixteen years and lost her last year. I could only go for about a month before getting my next Basenji. I really love this breed I have two now. Good luck in your search for your next Basenji.
