  • Thank you for helping both these dogs. Does the b have dew claws?
    Often that is a clue if they came from a "quality" breeder or a for profit breeder.

    Really? Buddy still has his dew claws. The rescue lady, Karen said she had an idea where he made have come from and she said he was a good breeder. He's the first B I have had that had dew claws.

  • Dan, its just something I use when looking a unknow dogs and trying to find out where they come from.
    The breeders on the list will let you all know they usually take the dew claws off by day 3 for the puppies.
    Your breeder may have decided not do to it, but its not the "norm".

  • The majority of responsible breeders in the US remove dewclaws. Also, a responsible breeder would want their puppy to come back to them if they needed to be rehomed.

    Sharron - If I recall, he does have dew claws. I was more concerned with fleas crawling all over him, his hernia, not being neutered, and Dallas living in such a little crate when I first saw him. I'll post more when I get him home. Yesterday, when I visited Dallas, I did give him a Comfortis for fleas and left some very healthy chews and treats in his cage.

    I'm praying he isn't heartworm positive. The treatment is dreadfully hard on a dog.

  • Oh, you have the health of the b in mind, which is the way it should be. grin!
    With the fleas, make sure you get a fecal run, I always do, when dogs come in with fleas. Course, you could have this all covered.
    I am so glad your opening your home and heart to this b.
    We sure want to give you tons of hugs for this effort.

  • Brilliant news Vicki, cant wait to see pics when he is home safe and sound.
    Brilliant news about Snow too, must be a good feeling to see him safe and sound.

  • Great news and congrats on the new family member! I'm glad that they are both safe. Hugs from Cody and me!

  • You are an angel! Hugs to you and Dallas!

  • Vicki, you ROCK!!!!:):):)

    Dear Debra, Thanks for the notes and looking up options nearby. We had already written to the Swiss basenji email address, but didn't get a response. We'd be willing to take him to nearby countries in Europe for the right fit. Perhaps now we will try writing to the other countries' basenji groups. He is such a lovely dog, and we want a good situation for him. He has come a long way and is much calmer now that he's a bit older! Cheers

    Taz has been in foster care through the Midwest Dog Resuce Network since he was turned over by the breeder (I believe around 8 months old). He had two sisters in foster care with him for a short time but they were adopted quickly. They were all shown on the BRAT website but were not evaluated by, or in the care of BRAT. He is such a handsome boy, I had given some serious thought to adopting him until they updated his profile to say that "he likes to be the boss". My female B absolutely has to be the boss of all other dogs (!) so I knew this combo wouldn't work out :( Here is the link to the organization caring for him: http://midwestdogrescuenetwork.com/default.aspx

    I wish I could take credit for this post, but it's just information that BRAT shares with folks who are either fostering or adoption a basenji. BRAT really does try to cover the bases with inof re new dogs and owners.
