@abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.
Aloha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is! And Simone Gaudet of Beaubri Basenjis is now there as well. http://www.beaubri.com/
Yeah she moved back! I got to meet her and Jambo when we went to Vancouver a few years ago. Sorry don't mean to hijack the thread.

Welcome!
I'm in the East Bay, and my two go to the dog park nearly every day. There are some wonderful spacious areas for dogs in the area, especially if your B's are good off leash.
One that we frequent is Point Isabel in Richmond:

http://pido.org/It's also where the SF Bay Area Basenji meetup group usually meets, once a month:
http://www.meetup.com/SFBayAreaBasenjis/Another good one in the East Bay:
http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/ContentDisplay.aspx?id=56000The Albany Bulb has lots of local flavor:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/albany-bulb-albanyThere are a TON more. I'm most familiar with the East Bay Regional Parks network (http://www.ebparks.org/), but there are still so many that I haven't explored.
On the other side of the Bay, there's Fort Funston:
http://parksconservancy.org/visit/park-sites/fort-funston.htmlI also love the Marin Headlands:
http://www.nps.gov/goga/marin-headlands.htmMy Shiba doesn't like pit bulls, boxers, and bulldogs that get in his face. I don't think it has anything to do with being "alpha," but something about the way they breathe and move (Boxers, in particular) that irritates him. You will see PLENTY of those around here. But if your dog is well socialized, and if you keep moving, there is plenty of room at all these parks so that it shouldn't have to be an issue. Yes, unsocialized or volatile dogs are a risk at any dog park you go to, but I think there's a HUGE difference in the dynamics between, say, a 23-acre, open dog park with expansive views of the Bay, than a 1-acre fenced in dog park with nothing but concrete and wood chips.
Anyway, maybe we'll see you around.

Welcome to the forum to you and Jaberi (does that have a translation? I can imagine how you feel about Hawaii - I'd imagine it is a Basenji paradise?
Pat - an all tri litter? Do you have a secret we should know?
-
No secret, we are just in the planning stages of considering breeding a litter this Fall/Winter. Just waiting on one more health test (Thyroid) the rest are all back and good (CERF, Fanconi, Patellas, Hips, Elbows) and then we will make a decision and pick a stud dog. But if I breed, I would like to have an all Tri litter.

Aloha Patty ,
Jaberi means Brave .You do not see many Basenji's in Hawaii & if you do you end up talking forever to the owners cause they are as surprised as you are. But Jaberi so loved the heat/sun, but was not too crazy about the beach. We would have bring him an umbrella & a mat to lay on, and Hawaii Kai dog park in O'ahu is the best.
-
Thank you for all your information I will try some of these parks out. He loves to run & play with other dogs.
Jaberi loves Shiba inu's & french bulldogs…..... But the minute he sees a boxer, bulldogs he is irrated. I have to lead him far away.Mahalo,
Suzanne
