Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.
Hello everyone

I am Terry from Florida. My dog is so adorable. She is 1/2 Basenji & 1/2 rough coat Jack Russel. She's white and fawn, going on 4 years old. She does bark, has a curled tail, furrowed brow, and is so beautiful. I got her at aspca in Fl. she was 10 months old, and very timid. She cowered at any loud noise, was afraid of men, and couldn't stand the word "come or bad." She cowered and tucked her tail. It was heartbreaking. Now she is so happy! We are very well bonded. She's come such a long way, and I'm very proud of her.

Thanks, I am very lucky to have her, she's so sweet with such a loving nature. But she does like to hunt, and last night roughed up a little oposson in the back yard. It did get away, with my help. Do other Basenji's like to herd? When Zoe went to a dog run in St Pete, she ran all the dogs to a tree, and kept them there as long as they would put up with it. It was hillarious!
