I had a Westie, that past over the rainbow bridge late March, that was allergic to storage mites. Storage mites are basically in anything stored on shelves in warehouses or stores for longer periods of time, like dry kibble, flour, grains and the like. So essentially he couldn't eat any dry nothing, so we went on raw and he did great. Of course he was also allergic to mold and flea saliva. Mold allergy and living in Houston, TX is a bad combo, it is everywhere, due to the humidity we have, and of course that also makes fleas very hardy. Bogus was on frontline and advantage together most of his life, that was the only way to keep fleas off of him and fur on him. He lived to be 13 years, which for me is way too young, but for a dog that has been on steroids and several meds throughout his life, realisticly it is not short. Either way, he clearly should not have been considered a breeding dog, even thought he was a beautiful example of what West Highland White Terriers should be like. My point, it depends on what type of allergies the dog has and the severity of them, in my ever so humble opinion..

Very cute.
Love the star on the back of your r/w baby -
The pups turned 4 weeks old on Saturday and are growing like weeds. They are playing more and more and are very people oriented snuggling with anyone who is willing to come and sit with them.

Oh my. I know I've said it before -- I could never be a breeder.
I'd wind up one of those crazy people that the folks on Animal Precinct have to
visit to remove 300 dogs from the home.Beautiful puppies. Just looking at the pictures warms the cockles of the heart, no?

They are all so cute! How old when their tails start to curl? or do they already?

They usually start to "tip" over at 5 weeks or so…. they change lots during teething...

Okay I have a stupid question (I was trying to backtrack to your original post and can't seem to add correctly) … How long is the typical gestation period for basenjis?
-
The picture is kind of fuzzy because they never stand still but you can see the one pup's tail. They are all about that curled right now.
As for the gestation period, it is 63 days from the day they ovulate.
