Member Introductions
  • Hi were Ed and Tammy from California. we just got our first basenji a few months ago, and are having a great time with him. He's a real handful but it's worth it, he's such a great dog. we look foward to being active members of the basenji forums. i've seen most of the pictures posted here, and i must say those are some cute dogs. we'll try to put some pictures of our dog puma up possibly this week. thank you! -eD and Tammy

  • Hi and welcome! I'm kind of new too and it's a lot of fun to see and "hear" about other Basenjis, etc. They are all so cute, aren't they? Congrats on the new pup and "enjoy the ride"…they are handfuls, but definitely worth it!

    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    Agreeing ... we'll celebrate and enjoy Rebel, nevermind the breeder. Once here, Rebel is family. :)

    @maxamali: Long story short I am electing to go without surgery and treat with anti-inflammatory medicine as well as a joint supplement. For a joint supplement, I can highly recommend (from personal experience with our previous Basenji, Maxx), Missing Link Plus. It's expensive at places like Petco and PetsMart, but you can find it much cheaper by doing an Internet search.

    Yep, we do agree on most things (bossy? or boss?)(both I think-it has something to do with me being a control freak-I like orderly fashion). True there are some dogs/bitches that will just not get along EVER. If I do leave with dogs that typically don't get along-grouch,snarl,sneer,etc.-I'm sorry-but they're separated. Either in separate rooms or crates. If you can't get along when I'm here, then chances are you won't when I'm not!! I did train other people and their dogs (notice I put people first) but as you say-meager. Now I just train my own, the occasional consult and focus on grooming, and the B's. I would love to make a living with just dogs, but, alas, that is really hard to do!
