Bonjour from Montreal!

Hi Ines!
I'm glad to see other people from Montreal are on this forum! About a month ago I was biking through Griffintown and I saw a woman jogging with a red and white basenji by the canal; I bet it was Alf, Whiskey or Phoenix! :)
It would be awesome to meet up! I have much to learn too! I live on the Plateau but I can come to Louis Cyr Park anytime. When is your next meetup scheduled?
See you soon!

Wow, how you trained your second dog to go fetch Tosca is really impressive! Did you find Tosca to be a bit dominant with your second dog when you got him?
Uma has always been shy around other dogs, but this week-end I stayed with friends who had a Boston terrier and Uma was very dominant and aggressive around him. I was very surprised!

Thanks for the welcome! I think there was a glitch with this thread as I only received a notification yesterday that I had gotten replies to the thread. No matter!
Kaiser looks like such a snuggle bunny!

Thanks for the tips! :)

It's hard to resist getting a second one, isn't it? I have found a male 1 1/2-year-old brindle basenji up for adoption; I'm waiting to hear from the family in the next couple of weeks (they want to adopt him out for lack of time to take care of him, but they're still not 100% sure they want to give him up. We've all met and the dogs get along famously, so now I'm just waiting for them to decide if they want to keep him or not…)

Welcome, Uma is super cute I'm glad you 2 found each other, and congrats on becoming a dog owner. I'm mite hold off on the 2nd dog until Uma is about 4 or 5
Good luck, -
You should enjoy having a dog for awhile. Remember, Uma is a basenji and I'm not to sure if Uma found you or did you find Uma.
I've had one basenji for 3 years and it's been so much fun. Enjoy! -
I know what you mean, Tp3, things change a lot when a second dog comes!
Anyhow, I've decided not to get a second dog yet. Uma has had some "incidents" in the past few weeks that have made me realize she probably still doesn't feel 100% stable yet with us. As much as I wanted a second dog for her to have a friend, she's shown me that we still need to work on bonding and making her feel secure.
