    @Manah:

    Thanks Jazzy's Mom!

    I will for sure get some good chew toys; do you have any recommendations?

    It's hard to say because each of my dogs had different preferences. Jazzy wouldn't touch the chew toys that hadn't come from a dead animal, LOL – no nylabones, etc. Whereas Keoki did/will chew on some of those. The bacon flavored things seem to interest him the most.

    When he was teething, he liked those toys that had ridges on the edges.

    Jazzy liked KONGs stuffed with peanut butter or cheese; Keoki could not have cared less for those. They both liked bones stuffed with cheese or a couple of soft treats.

    My vet sells beef tendons, they are long, flat, and skinny {a little greasy feeling too} that all my dogs love. They are great because they take a long, long time to chew up. I haven't found them anywhere but the vets; I've looked at PetSmart, PetCo, Feed stores, etc.

    And stuffed animals. LOTS of stuffed animals. They won't stay stuffed long, but they love re-killing the de-stuffed bodies too. LOL

    Welcome and congratulations on being cancer free for 1 year. I have a dear friend who's first year will be up this Fall/Winter. A new basenji puppy is a GREAT way to celebrate too!

    Thank you and congrats to your friend! I can't think of a better gift than a little independent Basenji pup. Her name does mean fate and destiny…

    Please research the health problems in Basenjis especially Fanconi Syndrome! There is a DNA cheek swab test for it and I believe it only costs $75. If your dog has not been tested and is over two years old, she needs to be strip tested for glucose in the urine monthly until you have the DNA test done and obtain the results. Untreated Fanconi Syndrome will kill a dog! Here is a webpage that explains health problems in Basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=155&Itemid=292 Jennifer

    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. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    Admittedly Basenjis and sheep are a problem. Thank you for such friendly welcomes. I have had some Basenjis who I did eventually manage to 'train'!!? to be safe with sheep and could wander among them and occasionally help to herd, others (including my current pack are killers and can't be left to wander freely where the sheep are. We have a double gate system for visitors. There was a time when I could have taken them all out for walks together but now I take them 3 at a time and my whole day is taken up with exercising dogs. When I get the hang of my digital camera I'll post some piccies. Nomrdggs - I'm not sure I have kept my sanity!!!! Tanza - I have actually seen some of our original imports - and I have attempted to breed as close to the original type as I can. I bred my last litter 4 years ago.
