I have an alpha female basenji and brought a newborn into our family. I was in the hospital for four days (my in laws stayed with dog and horse), when we came home, we had my Mom bring her new boyfriend. He was a great distraction, but also allowed me some alone time with Cricket. When they left, she noticed the baby in the bassinet and was a bit concerned.
She adapted to the baby, but I don't leave them alone just in case. Cricket is not nearly as jealous as she was, now that he drops food for her at the table, but she did get a bit jealous for a few weeks.
While I was pregnant, I was told that 'the test' was to play baby crying videos on YouTube. How the dog reacts will tell you how they will interact with the baby. Cricket beat the crap out of my phone when I tried… So not a great test! 🙂

Hi kids
Sorry i haven't been around for a while but i was in hospital having day surgery. Then i had school hols. Busy Busy Busy. Anyway, great news. We picked out our new addition a while back, don't know if i told you but he is gorgeous. Went and saw him on Saturday and i can't believe how much he's grown. He's six weeks now. The breeder wants to get his eyes tested at eight weeks then i get him. Can't wait. he's black and white and wev'e decided to name him Bee-Jay(for Basenji junior). Cute 'eh. It turns out that him and Kaycee are actually cousins.
Well, gotta go and feed the family.
Talk to u soon
Hugs to all
