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.

Our basenji is 4 months old. Anyone have a basenji that enjoys digging..on the couch? Also, when she's in her crazy mode she tends to bite when we try to stop her. She will actually keep the biting up for a while. Then, all of a sudden she's coming over to lay on my lap and give kisses. She's like Jekyll and Hyde from one second to the next.
