@tanza Oh yes. I give her 1/3 cup blue buffalo puppy kibble, 1 tbsp wet blue buffalo puppy, 1 tbsp yogurt or cottage cheese, (alternating) and if I se any sign of dandruf or dryness in her fur, I also add in a few drops of olive oil. I have chicken and vegetables every night, and I've been preparing my chicken unseasoned since I got rogue so I can use it for training on occasion, so sometimes if she's being stubborn I'll bury some tiny shreds of chicken in her food to get her to eat, or sometimes I'll do the same thing with some other high value treats. I don't feed her in a crate, but I've moved her bowl into my room so she's lessdistracted at mealtime, and she has a safe place to eat when my niece comes over. Rogue plays nice with my niece outside, but indoors, she's kind of a really big squeeky toy, so we have to watch her constantly. I also, on the rarest occasions, will give her a little tiny pinch of american, or sharp cheddar cheese. That seems to get her really excited. She doesn't get excited about cottage cheese, but american or sharp cheddar? She goes nuts. fagedabodit. And she get chews and kongs in the crate, but never meals. And she doesn't spend much time in there anymore since she's been house trained. She just sleeps in my bed. In fact, she's passed out next to me right now.
Meet Soda (Pic heavy!)

Very cute! Congrats!:)

Very cute
Congrats! -
He is so cute, and you got great photos to show that cuteness!
Hang on to those, in another few months (when he's a teen), after you love him totally, he will give you a few challenges. That's when you have to remember that sweet puppy!
I love his little face, and speckled toes. -
Congratulations on your super cute Pup, Soda.
-
He is SO CUTE! Soda is a great name, too. Basenjis have a wonderful soft smell to them, and their feet smell like Fritos - I've noticed that even after a hard day of running at the dog park, they do not smell like other dogs do - probably a part of them keeping themselves so clean.

Lucky puppy and lucky YOU!
-
Thanks all!
lvoss - I like that, about him melting in the rain! We took him outside for a bit yesterday, and boy, did it ever take a lot of treats to get him through the slush.
I knew Cole was his sire but I didn't know he had such a strong family connection to your dogs - thank you. He's beautiful and lovely and obviously comes from a long line of sweet basenjis.
The theme for the litter was Dream, so I think we're going to go with Habaris Enchanted Once Upon a Dream. Not entirely sure though! -
He is so hansome! Congratulations!
ps. I have the same baby gate for Cricket LOL

Love, love, love him..how adorable..and his name is awesome..congratulations.

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, I mean he has to do SOMETHING bad eventually, right?
When Jigsaw and Indy first came home, I referred to the first week or two as "wonder puppy phase". They were so well-behaved (for puppies) and actually with Jigsaw I wondered if everything I'd read about basenjis was wrong, she was such an angel.
THEN - it happened - their true colours emerged and the mischief began. So I decided that the wonder puppy phase is necessary to ensure that we totally and completely fall in love with them so that no matter what chaos they may cause after that we would never send them back! Yes, Soda will no doubt do something "bad" eventually - as I type this Jigsaw and Indy are in the other room squabbling over the prime sunny spot.
Oh, and if you want some more of the pics I took of Soda, ask Arlene for my email and I'll send you some.

What a sweet little boy - i'm sure he'll soon come into his 'Basenjiness' - in the meantime enjoy litle Soda.

Very cute, and great name!! Enjoy

Hi Mango. I'm Sugar's breeder, Cole's co-breeder, and Soda's co-breeder. He has lots of relatives here at Sherwood, including my current litter which are his first cousins.
-
Hi Robyn - That's awesome, I can't believe how many 'relatives' he has on the forum.
-
He is adorable! And I LOVE his coloring!
