  • She's so cute!

  • What a sweet chewing, piddling machine you have on your hands. Laugh.
    Where did you get this sweetheart from?
    Is she your only basenji??

  • Mya is my only Basenji. I hate to say this, but she was a gift of all things. I am not one on puppies as gifts - but my husband saw pictures of the pups and couldn't resist. Since I had a Toy Fox Terrier prior to her - I knew I HAD to read up on her breed. I can't tell everyone how pleased I am to have her as a part of our family. We are all pleased. She is so humorous and playful and very mischevious if unattended (15 wks. old so forgiven in my book). My favorite part of reading up on the Basenji breed is this line… "a tired Basenji is a good Basenji"...that's right on.

    We got her from a local breeder in Pacific MO. We met her parents which are very good dogs. The puppies were very well taken care of socially and physically. Both of the parents are into coursing. And because of this I have also taken coursing into consideration - any comments are welcome!

    Thanks for all of your comments. I love this site and will return daily for more!! I really enjoy all of the pictures and the good, bad, and ugly stories!

  • She is very cute… hopefully her sire and dam have been DNA tested for Fanconi. If not, you should consider getting the test done....

    And coursing is a ball... B's love it...learn about it at www.asfa.org and also there are links to find coursing near you and also the different clubs that offer coursing. Take her early and let her start to practice.. I have had 10 wks old pups watch and start to play with the lure… here is a link to two of our 4 month olds having practice with the lure....http://www.tanzabasenjis.net/lure.html

  • I love to watch the dogs lure course.
    When I retire, I am going to get into that sport.
    But now, the coursing is about 1 1/2 hr one way from my home..
    Sigh.
    Keep us posted on her…she is a doll...

  • She's adorable! Welcome!

  • Sweeet! Very cute puppy :D

  • She's precious!!!

  • What an absolute cutie!

  • Thanks everyone! I'm really glad I found this forum. I'm just full of Basenji knowledge from reading books and using the great info here. It's nice to have a place to come where everyone has such a great interest in Basenji's!!

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!
