Basenji, newcastle upon tyne, UK, looking for good home

[vwithers]

yes she does play quite rough, which is why she fine with my young boy cause he likes to have good chase and (friendly) fight.
She is also getting on nicely with a male cavalier i am looking after but think this is cause he so laid back she doesn't find him offensive!

My two play fight and it sounds awfull, lots of snarling and flashing teeth. It's true that they can be too much for some dogs thats why we got another one,lol.
Our two get on with a cavalier, like you say they are so inoffensive

[thunderbird8588]

sorry can't remember, have you contacted the breeder ?

[vwithers]

her original owners tried her first.
Think she is probably more motivated by money than where her pups ended up.
By googling Mindy's pedigree have read couple of other comments about the pups which don't make her sound like the most ethical breeder.
maybe i'm wrong but as said before i don't think most basenji breeders would have sold her to her original owners with their level of experience of dogs.
When i first met her at 7 months old was obvious already struggling with her and the first thing i done was send them to a dog trainer…they went for a few lessons and then gave up!

[vwithers]

Any idea which dog paper she might be getting mentioned in??

Mindy is a beautiful Basenji and we are very interested in her if she is still available? She would be a perfect companion for our basenji Travis.
Many thanks, Birkin family.

I do hope this works well and you'll be happy with this girl and she'll be happy with you. It's a big step taking on another dog but please contact this forum for advice if you need it.
