@tanza Oh yes. I give her 1/3 cup blue buffalo puppy kibble, 1 tbsp wet blue buffalo puppy, 1 tbsp yogurt or cottage cheese, (alternating) and if I se any sign of dandruf or dryness in her fur, I also add in a few drops of olive oil. I have chicken and vegetables every night, and I've been preparing my chicken unseasoned since I got rogue so I can use it for training on occasion, so sometimes if she's being stubborn I'll bury some tiny shreds of chicken in her food to get her to eat, or sometimes I'll do the same thing with some other high value treats. I don't feed her in a crate, but I've moved her bowl into my room so she's lessdistracted at mealtime, and she has a safe place to eat when my niece comes over. Rogue plays nice with my niece outside, but indoors, she's kind of a really big squeeky toy, so we have to watch her constantly. I also, on the rarest occasions, will give her a little tiny pinch of american, or sharp cheddar cheese. That seems to get her really excited. She doesn't get excited about cottage cheese, but american or sharp cheddar? She goes nuts. fagedabodit. And she get chews and kongs in the crate, but never meals. And she doesn't spend much time in there anymore since she's been house trained. She just sleeps in my bed. In fact, she's passed out next to me right now.
Meet Bailey!

@lmerrick - Pretty boy.... what is his breeding? Many of us are related by out Basenjis.

Such a handsome young man should most certainly be in the on-line Basenji pedigree database - along with his photo ! Do tell us his breeding - who are Mom and Dad and what is is birthday ? and then email me a photo for inclusion too.

A beautiful "Basenji Stare"........that stare can melt your heart or make you sit up at attention and ask, "What do you need?" When Sarge gives me "the stare" I run through a list of questions, (do you need to go outside, are you hungry, do you want to go for a walk, etc.) when I ask the right question he trots off in the direction of whatever he's asking for....so much fun!!!

Looks like TROUBLE! So cute.
