Eldorado does litter box train and they were always very successful at it when I visited..I know they line the outside of the box with newspaper too..so I would make sure to do that also so she's as familiar with the process as she can be. I would suggest if you can't get her to start using it for pooping soon to just get her a coat and start outside. The longer she goes without pooping where you want her to the harder it'll be when you need to change it. Bad habits develop fast. I wish I started Oakley outside right away versus litter training. He always would pee in it but he wouldn't poop in it. He got very used to pooping next to the box on the kitchen floor and to this day prefers going on hard surfaces. I know it's hard to imagine potty training outside in this weather but you might be better off in the long run.
I'm not against the litter box, I also have an eldorado pup; I just know the entire process would've been easier and more beneficial to is both if I braved the weather and did it in the first plAce

Hi, this is my first post of Basenji Forums. I live in Scotland and am due to collect my first Basenji puppy on 1st February. I have waited over a year for this puppy so i am really looking forward to finally having one. I already own two lovely Rhodesian Ridgebacks and have admired Basenjis for some time since they are all 'hounds'. I will be taking a lot of interest in your forum for help and advice with my new puppy.

Welcome! I too have run Ridgebacks and Basenji's together. Good thing is they understand each others play because they have very similar play styles. Most RR's know how rough they can play with smaller dogs but you will still want to closely monitor for several months as your B grows so you can make sure there aren't any accidents from too rough of play.
Best of luck to your new addition!
