7 weeks and counting

Basenji Talk

  • Well in 7 weeks time I will be bringing home my new B. She is going to be called Belle aka Mutabaruga Inner Circle at Gooses. All I have to do is pick one as I have got pick of the bitches! My only problem is that she had 2 R/W & 2 Brindle bitches and if I like one of each colour which do i go for. I have never had a brindle so in some ways it would be nice but they are not so popular in the show ring in the UK so I don't know hmmm. I think I will just have to wait until I see them till I decide. I just know that the next 7 weeks are going to drag.:(


  • How exciting!!! Congrats!! They are all beautiful pups, I can't imagine how hard it would be to choose. I just went and looked at the pups on Noel's site, hard choice, I don't think I would be able to choose. When do you go to meet them?


  • I haven't decided yet when I will go down to see them. They are all lovely puppies which is going to make it hard to decide!


  • congrats on your "pending" new puppy…. I am sure that your breeder will help you make the right choice when you get there.... I just look at her website also, lovely pups....


  • Well we are going down to pick out our new puppy on the weekend of the 9/10th February because I need to choose before everyone else goes to choose as I have pick of the bitches. I am so excited about this new puppy!!


  • How's the count down coming?

    I'm going down on the first, not to pick one, lol, just to visit.


  • Only 3 1/2 weeks till we go and pick one. I hate the waiting:(


  • I know how you feel, I was the same way for Tiggy, heck I'm not even getting a pup and I'm excited to go see them, they are just so cute. I'll take pictures for you ;)


  • Thank you.:D


  • So you´re also getting a new pup to choose the right one is so difficult it took my friend and I a week almost before we were able to decide which one we wanted on the 25 th i´ll go and pick her up.
    I wish you all the best in making that important choice:)


  • They are all so cute. My favorite is the little brindle girl with the little white stripe. She is so cute! Congrats and good luck picking just one!


  • I will be there this time in 3 weeks picking my girl.:D
    The light brindle is still my fav though.

    We made the mistake of getting a cheap pen with horizontal wiring ($35). Then we got this as recommended by Michelle Lennon ($99). He can't get out of it, though for several weeks he could squeeze through. At 13 weeks, he's too big for that now. Regalo 192-Inch Super Wide Adjustable Baby Gate and Play Yard, 4-In-1, Bonus Kit, Includes 4 Pack of Wall Mounts Regato 192" gate I also recommend her "Dream Dog" course. I trained 9 years ago with a local pro, but this is more detailed and better organized. Takes a month for a person to get through the course, worth every penny. She also offers a lot of free content, and if you go to the "pro" level for another $75 per month, one can access three weekly zoom meetings with her and co. and get questions answered 24/7 via their facebook interface. For what one gets, it's a real bargain. I used it for a month and found it very helpful. How to Train a Dream Dog To be sure, I don't agree on every detail. For example, I do no-leash walks in woods; they don't recommend that. Also, her course is not really designed to train an active "outdoor" dog, but more for an "indoor" dog. She opposes electric fences and doggy doors. I've had great experiences for 9 years with both and will continue to use them (started electric fence training last week and making good progress). But otherwise, her course lays out solid foundation work. She trains you to be a puppy trainer and provides all the real-time help you could need. Happy training!

    Good luck on getting a picture when she is still, if she is anything like our 2 she won't be still very muvh. Our Bitty does this thing, when she comes up on the bed at bedtime she will flop down facing directly away from us and then bend her head back mover her shoulder to look at us.

    What great news - she is obviously settling well. Although Basenjis have often been house trained before leaving the breeder they do sometimes regress in a new home and I'm sure you'll find Malaika very clean.
