    Subject: BRAT-HELP: Found Basenji

    Hi, I found a Basenji this evening on my way home. The dog is fine here
    at my house but I'm hoping maybe you could put out some feelers in the
    Basenji community and see if someone is missing their pet? I found him
    in Spring, TX. He is a purebred male, around 4 years oldish, he is
    neutered, has excellent house, car & leash manners. He is clean and
    seems to be in good health. I took him by the vet and had him scanned
    but they couldn't find a chip. He was not wearing a collar but he does
    have a slight imprint around his neck like he does usually wear one.
    Thanks for your help!

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    @fjd89 Always good to do health testing.... Don't know about how hip testing is done overseas. You would need to check with your local Vets.
  • Male or female basenji?

    Welcome to the forum. Dogs living together are more likely to fight, and making sure your pup spends time with the other 2 regularly so they bond early will help. But I'd suggest a female. All around, both for your basenji and particularly for the Australian shepherd (who can also be testy with other dogs), it's probably your safer bet. Where are you getting your puppy from? You might find relatives on the board. :)

    Corky's sometimes uncurls when he's sleeping and sometimes when he is comfortable. I can always tell if he's really OK with someone. If his tail is uncurled, they're OK by Corky!

    OMG, TRUST me…its not only ur baby, Jack has some seporation anxiety, i mean, we rescued him so that may be why, but i Always feel so sad when we leave him, he runs to the window and crys when we leave, but i KNOW it wonly lasts until he cant see us anymore (driving away) my neighbor watched for me. but SOMETIMES he does get into things when we leave for too long. like the other day, when he ate my betta fish food...grr...
