Could be a Basenji owner?

    She is absolutely beautiful. I too noticed the paws. You don't see very many dogs with the deer like legs and paws (so dainty). She definately looks like a basenji mix and they do LOVE to chew. Trick is to always have lots and lots of chew toys around to keep them busy. There are some great threads on here about toys our B's like (you may have already seen that). Welcome and again what a gorgeous dog!

    Yea, looks like a Basenji mix to me, she is beautiful, and she has that B look, you know the one, "I am Regal, look how pretty I am", haha!!!! Watch that chewing, I suggest you inspect your furniture, they will chew up things in the house, my B has chewed up lots of my stuff. She has lots of toys, and chew treats, so watch out!!!! We are in the process of teaching "Leave It", and we are making progress. This breed is so one of a kind, I have had lots of dogs myself over the years, and she is my favorite, and worth the stuff I have lost due to those teeth. haha!!!!:D

    Hello and welcome. Maggie looks basenji to me too. I agree with what someone else wrote about the "deer legs." She is gorgeous and very lucky to have you in her life.

    Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand. Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable. Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.

    @setidog: Kenji is absolutely adorable!!! You are going to have so much fun with him! @Patty: What beautiful puppies- I particulalry love the red/whites (I mustn't let my tri-colour Miggy hear that!!) @crystalncody: Kenji is adorable! Well, they all are! @Arwen: The photos have caused a great deal of oooh and ahhing here at work. I want that little red girl. I love all the colors but am really drawn to the red/whites. :) But no puppies for me. Thanks, we are look forward to our little guy coming home. I'll be putting more pictures up once we get him.

    Question to all Basenji Owners

    Another thing I've done with mine, I use the patio door to get to the garage when we go for rides and the side door of the house when we go for walks (the front door is never used for anything). That way my dogs always head in a certain direction when "escaping" out a particular door. Although a trainer told me not to that (she insisted dogs need to be kept guessing), it has so far worked for me. Even when the two escapes happened, it was in the particular direction for that door.
