Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic.

New puppy Solomon
-
Contratulations with you new baby boy! Is your boy's name Solomon? Sounds like you're quite adept to all Basenji quirks that are so entertaining. Welcome to the boards. You may have noticed that quite a few members also have puppies apx. the same age.
I am a new mom to a 10 week old B-mix girl, Daisy. Her mom is a full blooded red/white B and was rescued when pregnant and is being fostered. She had 5 pups. All have just been adopted. Mom still needs a home. I know BRAT will find Abby, a 2 year old a great home. Abby's story and pics are in the Basenji Club of Southeastern Wisconsin website. www.bcosw.org

Yes his name is Solomon, we tried find an ancient name and we came up with Solomon!! Solomon was a 10bc King of Israel known for his wisdom and we thought since the Songs of Solomon were the original love songs. We just hope our Basenji Sings and has a little bit of wisdom. And my daughters Basenji is named Sadie; we thought they sounded good together!!
Congratulations on your new baby b, I had to turn down 3 basenji's the week after I had committed to take mine. I want to have a another after i get this one settled in. -

I love to see pictures of Basenjis, they are so cute. I love the tiny guy also,what kind is it. My B, Sahara has the same toy you have in the picture, I got her the smaller one when she was a puppy and taught her how to fetch with it. Now she has the one that is the size of your baby's, and she loves to play fetch. I had read that B's will not play fetch, they don't care to learn how. NOT!!!!!! We play everyday and I have the scratched hardwood floor to prove it. haha!!!!! I told my hubby that I have to get some scratch cover polish for the floor, and we will play outside. It is getting warmer here in NC, so Sahara will actually play outside. My B hates the cold, and getting wet, in case you don't know they don't like water. I have finally gotten Sahara to go out and potty when it's raining, she gets a treat when she comes back in and she knows it. You will find that B's are the smartest dogs, they actually understand when you talk to them, they understand English. Good Luck with your Baby, he will love you like no other. Welcome to the forum!!!!
