Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg
Hi from Ohio!

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself to everyone!
I recently became the owner of a basenji mix stray. We've(my husband, myself and my two daughters) had him since July and I hadn't been able to decide what kind of dog he was, until I saw someone with a basenji. Then I did some research and it describes our Charlie to a T.
Charlie is a red/white male approx. 1 year old. He has the wrinkled forehead, the unusual eyes and curly tail, but his coat is not as smooth as the breed standard, and he certainly barks. When I get some good pics, I'll post them and maybe you guys can tell me what you think?

Welcome Megan, Charlie, and family. Hope you find this site helpful.
How did this little guy find you? I love those "how we found each other" stories. If you care to, please share, and I hope you find other 'senji owners in your area.
