  • Hi All,

    I'm new here. I found this site while just browsing around the web like I often do and reading about Basenjis, like I don't know enough already. I've had Izzy for 5 years now. She's quite a handful. She can open the oven, child safety locks, scale a 4' fence, dig under a fence, destroy a bed, destroy a couch, and wear down dogs three times her size. She's also very sweet, when she wants to be, cute as anything and very playful.

    Well, anyway, my girlfriend and I just moved into a new apartment together and she has a little alb multipoo (maltese/poodle), and I need some advice on getting the dogs acquainted with each other for living together. Needless to say, the little one has never had anything much in the way of rules and my girlfriend is very nervous that Izzy will see the little one as lunch. I'm not gonna lie, Izzy has given her some rather strange looks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I know there isn't a lot of detail here, but I can fill in the blanks if anyone offers anything in the way of help. Thanks! I need these dogs to get along.

  • Welcome Greg. Its always best to get dogs acquainted outside their own territory. It looks as though they have already met. I hope there is no rush to get them together as it can take time. It all depends on the dogs. Take them for plenty of walks together, preferably long ones. I see they are the same sex. Are they neutered? What are their temperaments like? Do they normally get on with other dogs?

    Judging from what being said. I would say things are on hold until next year! But Good Luck All The Same x

    @annie In that case, Spice is already in the data base. Pam is always very quick to send me all their litter details. You can go and have fun tracing your pup right back through generations of well known Basenjis. Email me a photo with his registered name so I can embed it into his pedigree.

    @CrazySenji Ok, Thanks for the update! I'd noticed that his site was out dated but, I thought he might be taking a break or something. Thank You again. I've got that info written down!! Nancy B.

    @nala121498: Congrats and welcome, fellow New Englander! Looking forward to some snowy pictures if Santa brings you a camera! Thanks! I love Vermont, everytime I go there on the way to Canada, I think, gee, that is the way Maine used to be. :( I definitely need that camera and will definitely need to figure out the winter thing in general considering I run her on my bike now and will need to make up all that exercise.

    Actually, the Springer is designed so the dog can't run too far forward or backwards. The dog essentially has to stay right beside the bike. If a dog was particularly persistent, as a basenji is wont to be, it could somehow get between the two bike wheels, in that area underneath the seat, to the other side. That has never happened though. Once the wheels are spinning, Rou seems to instinctively understand that they are to be avoided. Rou says thanks for the bones! -pamela
