I'm happy to tell you that Lela (as Binti) sees, hears and smells everything. And I have a strong feeling that they have a 6th sense also - they can sense big friend Kiko the Akita coming when she is too far away to be heard of seen or smelled.

We have a 14 month old male Basenji (Charlie) and we recently added a 10 week old female Basenji (Ripley) puppy to our home. Charlie seemed very excited from day 1, but plays very aggressively. They run around the house, but it turns into a wrestling match with him grabbing her neck, leg, you name it. She of course does the same and has started to grab anything of his she can bite onto, but the size difference makes it very scary. She is 13 weeks old now, but we are not sure if we should be worried about him or if this will work itself out where they teach each other when to stop. Any advice or thoughts would be so very helpful.

@macattack - Very normal, they will work it out... I have never stop that kind of play..... and trust me, her baby teeth hurt him more that his teeth hurts her.. LOL...

So glad to hear! He is relentless, but she holds her own even if she is on her back biting away at him.

@macattack Mku agrees wholeheartedly with @tanza !!! Kito's baby teeth HURT !
But now they are the firmest friends - let 'em work it out for themselves !

Quick update and thanks for the advice to just let them work it out. We were so worried we made a mistake with #2.
It’s been a month of pure joy watching them become the best of friends. We hear an occasional yelp when someone gets too rough, but after about 20 minutes of play, they pass out right next to each other.

@macattack Mku and Kito are delighted to hear it !
