Just introducing my little girl who is only 10 weeks old! I"m new here and while I did a lot of research before getting her, still relatively new to this breed! Glad have found this community:) Here are some pictures of her!
That b/w is a man with attitude ! He'll survive -
But talk to Steve Gonto - a great benefactor to our breed. I was delighted to meet him on a visit to our shores many years ago now.
I have a Basenji with IBD, I have her on Hills Z-D prescription hypoallergenic, but I am considering trying raw diet.
I am doing my homework now, and joined a raw diet support group on facebook.
Congratulations on your puppy! Good job getting him out of that situation, 5 weeks is too young to leave the mother but I am glad you got him away from that bad breeder.
If I were you I would report that breeder…sounds like the animals she still has are in an abusive situation.
@lvoss:
Instead of a teeter or in addition to, you may want to build a wobble board. These are great for teaching pups to get used to surfaces that move and they can move in any direction and the board moves. I used this with my last litter and they loved it and my girl Sophie has been absolutely fearless about all the agility equipment.

Great suggestion and wonderful Idea. Its probably a better choice than I would have made for him. Also thanks for the link on how to build one.
