    Actually...no!?!....puppies that fart too much *might be eating too much?! or eating a food that they don't digest very well? or just getting used to a new food....

    hmm well I got Bil Jack Puppy Food, which is what the breeder was feeding them when I got there, and this was her third litter so far
    maybe I'm feeding her too much? the bag says 10 lbs. or less get a 1 cup scoop (I used a baking measuring cup) and the breeder told me to feed her three times a day while potty training, maybe I miss understood and am giving her too much, I give her the 1 cup each feeding, should it be a total of 1 cup all day? hmmm

    I would guess yes. My puppy is 10 weeks, and she probably weights 8lbs. She eats a total of 1-1.5 cup of Innova Puppy food each day. I give her one adult size biscuit, and a few training treats most days also.

    I don't know what is in Bil Jack. But if there is corn, it might make her more gassy.

    Who is her breeder?_

  • I agree with Andrea that is probably too much food, my 12 week old puppy is also getting about 1-1.5 cups of Wellness Puppy food plus training treats.

    yeah there is corn :/ hmm should I switch then? the gas isn't so bad today, it was a few days ago, but not so much she's not eating the whole bowl like she used to
    so I should split the 1 cup into 3rds for her 3 feeding times then?

    her breeder is a lady named Sandy who lives about an hour north of me in New Port Richy, she has bread the mom and dad three times so far and I got to play with them they are really sweet dogs! I hope Bindi is just like her dad <3 he's so well crate trained

    she gave me a paper with the breeding line too, it goes back three generations

    Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase! Deb

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
