Eldorado does litter box train and they were always very successful at it when I visited..I know they line the outside of the box with newspaper too..so I would make sure to do that also so she's as familiar with the process as she can be. I would suggest if you can't get her to start using it for pooping soon to just get her a coat and start outside. The longer she goes without pooping where you want her to the harder it'll be when you need to change it. Bad habits develop fast. I wish I started Oakley outside right away versus litter training. He always would pee in it but he wouldn't poop in it. He got very used to pooping next to the box on the kitchen floor and to this day prefers going on hard surfaces. I know it's hard to imagine potty training outside in this weather but you might be better off in the long run.
I'm not against the litter box, I also have an eldorado pup; I just know the entire process would've been easier and more beneficial to is both if I braved the weather and did it in the first plAce

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.

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.
