Mei and her family in NH

    We brought our puppy home a little over a week ago. She is Mata Hauri Mei, out of GCHB CH Mata Hauri Klassy's Last Tango and Mata Hauri Esprit Tiger Lily.

    She's a gorgeous little trindle with a great big personality, who loves to snuggle. She's already so well loved by her humans, both big and small. Mei has 4 kids to keep on their toes, ranging from 10 to 2 in age. She's already started in on the hard work of getting us trained to her liking, lol.

    I've referenced this forum a bunch over the last few weeks (having a puppy and having a basenji puppy just aren't quite the same thing when it comes to research!) so I figured we would introduce ourselves and hang around for more good advice about our sweet girl.

    She had her second round of shots and first vet visit tonight, and our vet has NEVER in 17 years seen a basenji before! I knew they were uncommon, but that kind of surprised me! She did amazingly well and we're so proud of her.

    Here's our pretty girl. I tried to choose some photos that show her trindle markings.

    Mata Hauri Esprit Tiger Lily

    I just love it when a new owner bothers to give the parentage of the new baby ! First thing I do is to add the pup to the on-line Pedigree database, then I go to the AKC website for the birthday or any other missing details.

    Great to see Mom AND Papa are both clear for Fanconi AND PRA ! But we know Debbie always tests her dogs.

    I have loads of new litters to add this afternoon but by this evening, my time, you should be able to trace her ancestry, right back to the Founders !

    Good luck and lots of happiness with a pretty wee girl, and good luck training your Vet !

    So cute! You all are making me puppy jealous!
    She looks like she has some brindle in there? Is she a trindle?
    I liked your vet story too. The first time I took my first boy to our vet she said "Why did you get one of these?" (she can be a bit blunt- but she was actually curious why I chose a basenji, and she had never seen one either!)

    @jeimygirl I have added him to the database and he will appear as soon as I finish playing catch-up with today's incoming litters. So you will be able to see his ancestors very soon ! It is very easy to add his registration number and change his name at need. Email me photos as he matures and get photos of Mom and Dad too if you can - they really bring the pedigrees to life.

    Joan and Traci, happy to email you pictures. I will take some this weekend and sent them your way. The female is bigger in size (about 6kg) and lovely (tan with some black stripes and a lovely face) and extremely sharp. She is already trained. The male is smaller in size (about 5kg now) and very good natured. He is quieter but very vivid and active. We started their vaccination this week and they will have their booster in a month or so. I will be in touch. Thank you.

    A lot of people mistake him for a full bred pit. When we got him from the >>pet adoption fair, we were told that he was a Basenji, and not a pit. There >>is a distinction. He doesn't look a pit at all to me. He's not mean at all >>either Weird. Pits don't look at all like Basenjis. and Pits are not mean either, unless their owners have trained them or encouraged such behavior. Pits are naturally friendly, generally well-behaved dogs that have gotten bad press due to poor owners. Just so you know, onions are bad for dogs That's what I've heard recently too. Although when my dog was very ill about five years ago –near death due to an apparent poisoning -- chicken broth with garlic and onions was all she could keep down. Vet was sure she'd have to be euthanized, it was that bad. But we brought her back with "soup" a TBSP at a time and licking ice cubes. Maybe it's just "one of those things", like the fact that chocolate can kill a dog, but I have friends whose three dogs LIVE for M&Ms every day. And Hershey's bars when they can steal them. Weird.
