Hi There, I am new to the group. My dog (Zootie) actually belonged to my husband (he passed last month). She is such a good dog. She about 10 and just starting sneezing like crazy and make a sound almost like she is going to throw up. I do have an appointment at the vet, but goodness it cost $400.00 last time. I am hoping someone can make heads or tails out of my description and may an idea of what is wrong.

We live in Kentucky.

@zande said in Hi from Sally.:

I keep dog food in a tin dustbin in the utility room. I scoop out the ration for the day each morning and from that ration come the treats. I put a few in the bum-bag which goes on walks with us, adding a few extra cos some of the dogs we meet recognise me as a soft touch.

But it also means my own dogs don't get 'extra' - they just get their daily ration. They know 'Biscuits' and 'Bickies' and come racing back when I whistle.

That is a brilliant solution! Really great. It can be hard if you're training to ensure your critter(s) aren't getting an extra meal.

Since Buster is a rescue, I would highly suggest that you have DNA Fanconi testing done. It is a cheek swab that you do yourself. You can order the test at www.offa.org for 65.00. Money well spent for peace of mind and know your Basenji's status. Scroll down till you get to Fanconi DNA

I actually have experience with this. I placed a dog with someone who - in spite of what I said about they can NEVER be off leash, they thought that way out in the country with an electronic collar would be fine.

They didn't notice that the batteries were weak, gravel truck down road, basenji dead.

Basenjis are not an off leash dog - they are hunters and if they see it or smell it they are gone. NO you cannot train that out of them. They have been hunters for thousands of years and will ALWAYS revert to that.

re: allergies. Here is something that I do when people say they have allergies.

Use a cotton swab (q-tip) to swab inside the dogs mouth and set on a paper towel.

Take a very fine tooth come and scrape on the skin of the dog in several different places and wipe off the skin dander and hair (even if you get a little) on the paper towel as well.

Fold it up and put it under the pillow of the person with the allergies. If they break out or have a runny nose - the dog most likely won't work for you.
