Sammm, are you the first placement home for Laika? It would be good information to know whether her breeder attempted previous placements for her and what happened there. This group is great about helping find solutions. Hang in there with her!""
DR JO! So happy to see you post!
@Sammm
I'm evidently more concerned than the rest. I don't consider "very very shy and seems to be scared most of the time" normal. You just got the puppy, it may settle. If not, you really need to work at building confidence, socialization, etc. For a few weeks just chill and take it easy. After that, post again and we'll help. PLEASE talk to the breeder about your concerns also. -
Thank you all for the time spent on answering my query - Laika is being more comfortable at home, and likes going out for a walk:)
She still needs to be more comfortable with the rest of the family (she feels safe only with me) but as you all said, we nee to give her more time.
@Zande Her registered name is Princess Laika from "Elevage De La Tribu Val'elsy" France

@debradownsouth Laika is being more comfortable today, but needs to be at ease with the rest of the family (she only trusts me)
Don't forget that she had to travel from France to Lebanon, so i guess this had an impact on her too

MANY thanks - so she is one of the Princess litter , home reared, by Lord Invictus De La Tribu Val'elsy out of Alexis Amatory Bosom born 1st January this year ? So she is already in the database along with Princess Kenza, Princess Kiara, Princess Nubie, Princess Paillette and Princess Pippa.
She's had a flight to contend with which you recognise could well increase her timidity but I'm sure she will soon get over it and accept the entire family. Just go easy on her for a while.
And send photos (Mom and Papa too) for the database !
Good luck !

@zande Hello! Princess Pipa is here too - a freind of mine is taking good care of her.
Just to inform you that Laika is doing super great today, she feels more comfortable at home, she plays, runs everywhere and loves going out for a walk.Thank you for your kind assistance,
Cheers,
Sam -
@sammm Thank you for that ! It is great to know where Basenjis move around the world !
Just because a Basenji is happily Lord or Lady of all he or she surveys in a loving home, far away from the show ring (mine have always been house pets too) shouldn't mean it is omitted from the database. I try to show the history of Basenjis around the world, not just the ones who achieve success in the show ring - so I do beg all of you to let me have their information - date of birth and Mom, with registered name is often enough for me to place them in the correct litter !
Photos complete the looks of their pedigrees - so I welcome them too !

Sorry Sammm, Forum won't let me copy/paste photos. PLEASE can you email it to me as an attached.jpg and it will be embedded in her pedigree within minutes !
email address is sallypwallis@gmail.com -
@tanza She is thank you ! However i have a small problem, don't know if you can help: how can you make her stay alone for 2 hours without crying her soul out, and without destroying everything in the Kitchen? Last night was her 2nd night alone in the kitchen and you don't want to know what she did... i think she was committing suicide lol... any recommendations?
