Eldorado does litter box train and they were always very successful at it when I visited..I know they line the outside of the box with newspaper too..so I would make sure to do that also so she's as familiar with the process as she can be. I would suggest if you can't get her to start using it for pooping soon to just get her a coat and start outside. The longer she goes without pooping where you want her to the harder it'll be when you need to change it. Bad habits develop fast. I wish I started Oakley outside right away versus litter training. He always would pee in it but he wouldn't poop in it. He got very used to pooping next to the box on the kitchen floor and to this day prefers going on hard surfaces. I know it's hard to imagine potty training outside in this weather but you might be better off in the long run.
I'm not against the litter box, I also have an eldorado pup; I just know the entire process would've been easier and more beneficial to is both if I braved the weather and did it in the first plAce
New Pup and Questions about Louisiana

Howdy everyone, I've just chosen to foster a 9 month old basenji. I've already got a 6 year old Brindle. This is my first time posting on this forum, I don't know how I didn't know about this beforehand. I do need your help, however. The previous owner of this pup surrendered 3 siblings, all appear to be full blooded. I do not believe him to be speaking the truth about the breeder, as he said he bought them from Louisiana. How you could buy 3 Basenji puppies and not know what you're getting into is beyond me... Does anyone know of any sellers in Louisiana? Or, more tragically, someone missing 3 Basenjis?

Is the dog chipped? Or tattooed? Who has the other 2?
I personally have no idea about breeders in Louisiana, but none are listed at the Basenji Club of America breeder referral:

If this is the case, then I would guess it is from a Back Yard Breeder....
