Questions before I get my Basenji pup!

[lakers13]

I didn't have him in a crate. I had him in a portable pen in another room to sleep, but he has been perfect on pottying outside so I let him sleep with me last night and he slept all night and then pottied right when I took him out this morning!

Pen/crate same thing really…. however don't be surprised for set backs....but most will sleep through the night when you let them sleep in bed...:)

@lisastewart:

The test has only been in existence for 4 yrs, before that, none of us knew whether our dogs were carriers or not.

Thats right,.. I keep forgeting that that was so recently…..

mary beth weiss is a back yard breeder her adult female annie is ckc not akc and was was purchased from a puppymill

mary beth has not tested for fanconi beyond strip testing (or so she says)
when i contacted her she knew almost nothing about fanconi called it doggie diabetes and said that symptoms didnt show up until a dog was quite old

mary beth weiss does nothing but use these dogs to make money selling puppies then gets rid of them she has had her 3 adults listed on kiji for months at a low price selling them as "breeders"

she will not be taking back any puppies from any buyer as she has a limit of 3 dogs where she lives

Banhanerzz, I visit Houston often as my girlfriends family lives there maybe we could meet up if I ever bring him up. Post pics of her! I absolutely love benji he is the smartest sweetest dog I've ever seen. What are some unique characteristics that yours has?

[Buddys Pal]

She is very mellow easygoing, she loves contact and must be with me or my girlfriend always. She is crazy smart and sweet also … She can do a few tricks... If there is food... If SHE wants to. And she is starting to howl when we come home after she is done going nuts, n her ears stay folded back from excitement. I have a few pix up on a thread called Athena has arrived, and when I get others re sized I'll put them here

[BaNHANerZzz]

Here are some of her… i dont know what puppy you got but i saved a few of the pix from the breeders ad's most were taken down but i saved all we could, like the last pic, its around when they were 8 weeks or something like that
