  • Welcome Foschatt…Welcome Rye!! What a cutie & what an adorable face!!

  • Welcome to another New Englander…he's adorable! Keep sending those great pictures!

  • Welcome! Your boy is a cutie-patootie! I looooove brindles!

  • He's a gorgeous boy! My mix is a brindle too. Thanks for sharing pictures.

  • omg, he's gorgeous! i'm in MA too, and i clicker trained my dog. I had GREAT luck w/ clicker training! it was a very enjoyable experience for both me and my dog.

  • What a handsome guy Rye is. Great pictures. Welcome to the forum!

  • Welcome, and what a adorable guy you have there he is a cutie

  • Rye is such a gorgeous puppy! I love brindles. If my breeder had a brindle, that's what I would have gotten….but I wouldn't trade my Dacia (red/white) for the world!

  • I knew he was Dark Skies the first moment I laid eyes on him! I love his war paint! :)

  • My response to the clicker question is this - my basenji caught on to the clicker faster than my lab, but she gets bored and distracted quickly, so sessions are usually 5 minutes maximum. For the general obedience-type command like sit, I used the basenji's "what's in it for me" trait and taught her that if she wants in or out of the door she must sit first. If she wants to eat, she must sit AND give me space while prepping the food. She is smart with the clicker and offers so many behaviors that it is a chalenge for me, the trainer, to focus on one behavior to reward. That being said, any trouble I may be having could be due to novice clicker abilities. Good Luck

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    Welcome aboard, but do share his registered name ? Who are Dad and Mom and what was his date of birth so we can be sure to add him to the Basenji pedigree on-line database (with a photo ???) for the world to share him. http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
