    I agree, talk about the "best" from both breeds…. :-)....

    Thank you all for the warm welcome :)
    I will post pics soon. She is a handful, more so than any other dog I've trained. The problem is, she is the best manipulator that I've come across! And I thought Border Collies were bad, but she definitely has a mind of her own and isn't all about the "willing to please" part. Her name is Macy, mine actually is Karen, but that username was taken, so I opted for hers. I just read on here that Dr. Yin has a new book out and (well I should probably post this elsewhere) but has anyone read that one yet?

    LOL, welcome. So is it a Basenier or Tersenji? Yep, joy and a whole lot of sense of humor will be required.

    LOL! I see that y'all are well acquainted with the manipulation. What cracks me up the most (and she knows how to use it) is the silly grins she gets when she knows she in a whole lot of trouble:D
    I have also posted pictures of her, enjoy :)

    Welcome to the forum. Yes, they are masters of manipulation, and the Jack Russell will add stubbornness in excess of the usual. Should be a fun ride!

    Thank you. And yes the stubbornness is already showing, that's okay though, I am stubborn as well, seems to work ;)
    Love your tag line! So true, so true. I didn't realize, outside of Border Collies, how intelligent dogs could be, but I am quickly realizing that the Basenji has them all beat!

    That dna test has paid for itself over and over again. I'm sure you won't regret it :)

    @nouno: His parents are also in Cyprus. His mother is 4 years old. Did not have any problems. His father is 2 years old and also did not have any problems. Not yet. Is too expensive as I have to send all the test to the USA. But I will get through with it as long as I am able to. Age that Fanconi can show up is from usually 3 years all the way till over 10 years

    He's a hungry dog today. Gave him 1/2 cup in the morning and just a few minutes ago. He had no problem eating. I'm much more happy that he's eating now. He likes his bone as well. Not too much into the Kong yet. I just wish he didn't cry in his crate when I put him in there. Feel bad for him but I know it just takes adjusting. He is perfectly fine when I return home after he's been in there awhile. It's just the initial time. To be honest though, this transition went far better than I expected. I was prepared for the worst. This little guy has done very well.

    It was actually the vet tech wasn't the most brilliant thing on the planet… needless to say I found another vet the next week and they think she might have some bulldog in her... what a mix. I believe that she definitely could have some bulldog in her judging by the way she lays around the house.

    I would love to get some Bs together for a play date. I'm starting to think Lenny may only be dog aggressive with non B's. He and Tayda spent a month with 6 other B's and it was fine! Anyone near the Ann ARbor, Michigan area? Michelle

    @cmd: Our 12yr old Ramsey is from one of Linda's Basenji's and a very sweet guy. Have you tried Hacker's Basenji's? Ann is an active and very responsible breeder and she's near Danville. I can't say enough good things about her. We've had 2 of her dogs and both have had great temperaments. She's friends with a lot of other breeders in the area as well. If she doesn't have any available you could also try Select Basenji's near Dayton. I think she was co-breeding last year. We have a Select and she's a great little dog – a ball of energy though! I too was looking for a Basenji last year at this time. We lost our 14 yr old also year to date and felt a puppy would help everyone move on. Sort of became a mission. Puppies can be hard to come by this late, but we did find several. Nope, Tracy's breeding didn't take this year…but I think she is planning one for spring :)
