  • Hi - I found this site surfing for nutrition information on basenji's and have found a bunch of helpful advice and just confirmation that what our dog does is normal!

    We have a 1 year old (tomorrow) Basenji mix (with Italian Greyhound) named Gromit after Wallace & Gromit. He has been a handful but just so entertaining and brings so much to our life. He is currently the only dog we own and the first one we've raised from a puppy.

    Anyway, just wanted to say hi and a general thanks.

  • Hi GromitsFamily!
    Its great to have you and happy to hear that your boy is doing fine :)
    Post a picture for us to see and HAPPY BIRTHDAY GROMIT!!!

  • Welcome GromitsFamily to forums…..Just one thing whats ur basenji doing thats normal ... LOL ... they are a handful... I too have Basenji mix... Mix Im unsure of, I was hoping someday the mix would kick in.. so far it hasnt happend.

    @Nancy-Berry The saying is a very true one... when people ask how your dogs are with children, say "It depends.. how are your children with dogs?" Toddler Leora got her little legs smacked more over the dogs than anything. Not training your child to respect dogs, to understand that a hurt dog can and probably will respond, ... well it puts your child and dogs in danger.

    I think they just look solid so my mind saw "bigger." I have one of the Wimaumau rescue giants (44 pounds), but even my 2 previous gals were far from petite... about 26 to 28 pounds. My dream of a petite 18 pound basenji just never happened, lol.

    Thanks, I will pickup some SAM-E at the store today, I had no idea what dose! I hope Pete has a comfortable time with you, you are doing everything to keep him happy. My friend's mastif-dobie mix has very high liver enzymes, she is 10 and otherwise looks great. She is slowing down, sleeps a lot but has good appetite, etc., he opted for no more tests (at her age, he would not put her through any treatments other than meds). She loved the liver-cleansing diet, is back on regular now and taking Sam-e; like you, he is just hoping for some good quality time with an older beloved dog. Hugs to Pete!

    Her name is Mattie and she is a real sweetie. My son brought her home from a mission trip in Appalachia. She has become my shadow and we just can't imagine not having her around.
