I have an alpha female basenji and brought a newborn into our family. I was in the hospital for four days (my in laws stayed with dog and horse), when we came home, we had my Mom bring her new boyfriend. He was a great distraction, but also allowed me some alone time with Cricket. When they left, she noticed the baby in the bassinet and was a bit concerned.
She adapted to the baby, but I don't leave them alone just in case. Cricket is not nearly as jealous as she was, now that he drops food for her at the table, but she did get a bit jealous for a few weeks.
While I was pregnant, I was told that 'the test' was to play baby crying videos on YouTube. How the dog reacts will tell you how they will interact with the baby. Cricket beat the crap out of my phone when I tried… So not a great test! 🙂

I'm so excited zoe finally yodeled for me. Thanks for all the advice!! Usually hubby gets home from work first so he lets her out of her crate but today it was me so I took your advice and tried to egg her on I swear I kept it up 5 minutes but she did it YAY! At first I didnt recognize it because it sounds slightly different from my other B who had a definite BBBBarooo hers was more aaarooo. Listen to me the doting mom.:rolleyes: Thanks everyone.

Yeah! I love puppy yodels. Nemo doesn't yodel unfortunately unless you really egg him on and then it is more of a howl. Zoni yodels all the time now. We can even make her yodel by picking up Nemo. She gets frustrated because she can't get to him. Very funny.
