Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.

Hello All!
My name is Becky and my husband Josh and I are getting our first basenji soon! We are very excited!
He will be two years old in December and he is a beautiful trindle named Hooligan.
We had been looking for the right dog for us for what seemed like forever, then we discovered basenjis and fell in love right away!
This seems like a wonderful forum - I've been reading the posts for a while and have already gotten some great information from you all.
I'm looking forward to joining the basenji community and sharing pics of our boy!
Cheers!

Welcome and enjoy! Hope you have both read up on what to expect. There are some owners real close to you and I'm about 60 miles West in Amherst. Been around them for 30 yaers and ought to know better but keep getting a new one.
