What a sweet looking pup!

[AnubisTheBarklessDog]

What a lovely boy! I'd also add, start training early. Call him to you for his meals, or just throughout the day, and always reward him with a little treat. The earlier you start, the easier it gets!

Was he (or his Sire and Dam) been tested for Fanconi?

[Alleycat]

he's here!!

Orion is his name. first night when smoothly! but he likes following momma around a lot

[Alleycat]

both were tested and clear pr. the website

turns out he's pick of the litter

[QuizBasenji]

He's beautiful!

[Chealsie508]

He's adorable. My boy came from a great breeder by I still ordered the cheek swab kit to be doubly sure. I'd recommend you do the same. Even with paperwork I never wanted to rely on others, my boy is my baby and I treat him as such.
Congratulations, take lots of pictures as thu grow so fast!!!
I have a soft spot for black and Whites after getting Oakley :)

[Guest]

Handsome little boy, enjoy, also love the little pink toes, my Kaiser has tough feet now miss his soft baby feet.

Not familar with where he came from. What are the registered names of his sire and dam, if you don't mind sharing? Very cute, glad to hear that the first night went well

well someone(my SO) cleaned out the car so the paper with the names on it got chucked out. I am waiting for the breeder to re-send it.

I know his sire is from Mibre's basenjis in homestead, fl.

and will be happy to post the names once I get them again :)

[Alleycat]

he has been doing excellent with his potty times. only used the puppy pads twice.. and knows to go on the puppy pad and not the carpet

[Alleycat]

Can I officially say I'm in love now?

[agilebasenji]

Awwwwww . . .

:-)

[Alleycat]

one quick question.. my pup seems to scratch himself a lot. i dont see any ticks/flees and he's gotten his meds for that.

could he b allergic?

[krunzer]

Is he on the same food that was fed at the breeders?

[lisastewart]

At this time of yr some of mine have developed grass allergies when going to strange areas for walks. Wipe him down with a damp washcloth after he comes inside.

[Alleycat]

I have wet wipes I use for his ears. Maybe I'll just make sure to wipe around his neck/head where he seems to be the itchiest. He got a bath on day one so I don't think he's "dirty".

He is not on the same food. Would that cause itching?

[eeeefarm]

@Alleycat:

Possibly, if he has an allergy to something in the food. Did you have a reason for switching?

[Alleycat]

No particular reason other than it was what i picked up at the store before I got him. Going to petco today to pick up some more supplies so I'll see about picking up another small bag of something else so that i can test the food theory out.
