Adorable, and I love the name - is there a story behind it?
New puppy in Indiana

Welcome! Sorry, I don't have any advice other than 'a tired puppy is a good puppy'! I always adopt 2-3 year old adults…because of all those things you mention. I love the name Ripley, by the way.

Welcome to the forum!

I got him from Mariah Akitas and Basenjis in Indy.
Thanks for the advice! I'll post a picture of him soon! -
Welcome to our pack. Get him as many toys as you can to help keep him occupied (the big floppy stuffed animals are good ones and the interactive toys).

Maria told me that he was guaranteed against Fanconi, and it says in the papers I got from her that he wouldn't have it. Should I have him tested anyway?
-
Though he will not get Faconi he may carry the gene for it which means he could produce offspring with the disease.
-
Thanks for the info. How would I go about getting him tested?
-
Go to www.basenjihealth.org all the details are there on how to test. You order the cheek swab from www.offa.org (price is 60.00)

Hello & welcome from Canada. Nice to have you here. 1 thing that might work with you for housetraining is having your pup leashed to you as much as possible throughout the day. May help? I read it somewhere that this works.
