  • Welcome and can't wait for pics :)

  • michye7894…Do you enjoy showing? I have zero desire to put my girl Scarlett through that maybe done the road when we get another basenji. I am considering letting her do some lure coursing for fun...I would be so nervous to show her or have her shown...would want her too win too much!

  • Welcome…so exciting...

  • It is so much fun to show! You win some you lose some… but in the end its all about going out meeting new people and seeing old friends. Last year was my first year showing... the dogs seem to like it (they know there will be plenty of yummy treats!) I think it is by far more stressful for us crazy humans then our thoroughly pampered pups!

  • Well I am gonna let Scarlett be our most loved and precious without the showing part of things but sounds like something I shall look into for a future basenji…I have so much to learn right now and she deserves the best I can give without the ups and downs of showing. It would be awesome to have a little champion in the house!

  • Walter, some dogs love to show, some, not so much. IMO, I would never say until you see the b full grown and social.
    My friend Lisa Saban has a b that at one time was thought NOT to be a show dog.
    Now he is a double Ch. AND he loves it.
    So, laugh, the b might not give you a choice. giggle.

  • Thanks for the advice!

  • Psssst - Hi from your Oregon pals! Dude & Ono can't wait to meet their new buddy! Have you picked a name yet? Count my vote for Turbo!

  • I just saw your note about naming him something that goes with Mr. Moonlight - I will have to think and let you know if I come up with anything good :)

  • Names that have 2 syllables and end on an up-note (y or ie) are easy on the tongue and ear and have a happy sound. Think about how it will sound yelled in the dark in your neighborhood or in public!
    A locally 'famous' dog trainer told us years ago that he gives this advice to people: if you want a happy, friendly dog don't name him "Brutus", name him "Buddy", he even had clients change their dog's name to a lighter sound.
    I'm sure when you get him, the right name will come to you.

  • welcome!

    mr. moonlight always makes me think of field of dreams

  • and think of how it's going to sound when you shorten it down to one syllable, which we inevitably do.

  • Psst Libby… Turbo is my vote too ;)

  • a name that goes with moonlight… follow my crazy thought process here... dancin' in the moonlight... van morrison... and it's st. patrick's day... van morrison's irish... so how about morris?!? such a little old man name, but i love it. and you could sing van morrison songs to him all the time!

    @Sweetpeaelf: Roo is jealous of Piper already. He plays rough with her and he is always biting her throat or neck, so I am unable to leave them together. The good thing is he doesnt growl and he has no problem sharing food or toys with her. Hopefully, In time he will adjust. That it totally normal.. and you really should let them work it out on their own. He is teaching her… And growling would be normal... and especially sharing food. I would never expect mine to share food.... toys, of course... but not food
