New update: Tika is no longer in heat! Yay! Remy got neutered and is doing great! We got a dog trainer to come in assess the situation and she thinks it is starting to improve compared to how I described it when I booked her to come. Only Maia seems to need the muzzle, she seems to be very unsure of the puppy. We are working with her to build her confidence. The puppy doesn’t seem to have any stress with Maia around and won’t start anything. The muzzle is on just in case when I am home alone as I don’t want anything bad to happen when if I can’t separate them. The puppy is getting lots of training time to help her learn how to behave properly. With 2 people here we can have the girls on short leashes and they are fine together. They did have a small altercation of snarling but no biting and no one got hurt. The older female backed down and walked away. As much as I want her to be the top dog it seems that the puppy has a much more dominant personality. If they figure out the pack hierchy hopefully everything will settle down. The trainer says there are no pack instincts in domesticated dogs, but after having 6 basenjis I can’t agree with that in regards to basenjis. We can walk the girls together without muzzles now so I think things are more positive and they seem to be improving every day. When Remy is healed from his neuter I will get the puppy spayed and hope that calms things down even further. So far there is a lot more peace in the house. Please anyone let me know if there is anything else I should be doing to keep these girls on track. Thank you for all your advice and guidance! I am so grateful for this forum as what is normal for other dogs is not so much with these guys!
Basenji calender at Borders
-
I was at Borders today and they had all their calenders on sale for $1. I was surprised that there were actually 2 basenji calenders on the rack. I bought one.
-
That's a great deal. I get one every year.
I have noted a lot of the pictures here are sometimes far better than a lot of many of the staged photos in the calendars.
-
They usually don't carry basenji calenders, so I was pleasantly surprised.
-
I think BRAT still has some calendars for sale also if you are still looking and want to support a great cause
$1 for a Basenji calendar is a good deal though!
-
I'll will definitely look for one. When I was up at my dads cabin I went shopping in the little town and I found this little pack with a notepad and magnet. It had basenjis on it so I bought just because of the basenjis. I probably will never need to actually use the notepad…

Usually you can find them cheaper on line.. or even E-Bay
-
I get the Basenji Calendar every year too.
I noticed some of the dogs are the same one's from last years just in a different pose. They could at least take pics of some new dogs.
