  • If Koda does not have a UTI and is only urinating in her crate then it may not be a housetraining issue. This may be a crate anxiety issue or separation anxiety issue and you will need to be able to commit some time to re-training.

    Here is a good article about teaching crate training. http://askdryin.com/movies/CrateDogLR.pdf

  • No you do not have a bad Puppy just there are tests you can do because reeder did not do her job correctly. Your puppy is part of your family and you have a good puppy you love it and care for it. A bad puppy or dog is because of people (humans) we do not do our job.

    oh I see - Yes she is a good puppy - thanks for all your help. I am going to talk to my boy and make sure she plays more with her - he told me last night that YOU CAN't GET rid of family mom and he is right cuz that is what I have also told him. So we will do our best to make sure she gets more play time.

  • thanks for your help and no she was not going to refund the Money. I just don't trust her now. I am going to keep her or find someone on my own to take her and care for her the correct way. I think she is happy - she just does not get to run much and she loves to run and play. Thanks again for your help.

    You really need to look into Fanconi testing, it is very important for your peace of mind. Also learning about Basenji health concerns.

    And if the need comes up that you do need to place her, contact Basenji Rescue (BRAT).. that is what they do….

  • I second Pat on Fanconi Testing.

    I also second Pat please call (BRAT) if you just have to give her up.

    I do not always agree or like what Pat has to say but in this case I more than agree.

    Rita Jean

  • Pat and Rita Jean are right, BRAT does do a wonderfuf job finding forever homes for b's who need it.

  • I have emailed and am talking with LIZ from BRAT she is going to find the right home. I am going to miss her - but I know it's best to give her to someone with more time. She DESRIVES that much. She a great girl and i love her so much, but I know she will be better off with someone who can not only give her exercise but also enough to keep her mind busy and happy since they are so smart. they need more then most puppies.

    thanks for everyones help.

  • Although I know this was a very difficult decision, I sooo respect you for doing the right thing for your dog. Virtual hugs to you:).

  • I feel for you, making that decision was not easy, but you can rest assured she will find a family that will care for her just as much as you do.

    And I totally agree, kudos to you….

  • thanks guys - and thanks for the hug. I sure need it.

  • I hope Koda finds a new home soon and you have peace of mind.

  • Bless your heart for caring more about the dogs feeling then your own.
    Hugs, hugs, hugs.
    You are so doing the right thing.

    @Rita: Pat yes we did get Jaycee's AKC application at the time we got her. Have not got cert back yet as we were really slow in her name made us slow in mailing. Rita Jean Great, it would be good if you gave Sally W the information for her website to update the pedigrees. Many of us rely heavily on the pedigree site when thinking about breeding and researching dogs…. You can do contact Sally at Zande Basenjis (just do a seach for her website and drop her an email with the info)....
