Update On The Lost Male Basenji

Member Introductions
  • Hi Erin again. My thread was labeled help me please so im making a new thread to update all the wonderful people that helped me out. I found the owner of the dog, and took him home yesterday. His name is Bandito and the little girl he belongs to was glad to have him back. So Carlie (8) and Bandito
    (1) were reunited! I just wanted to thank everyone for the advice and help. Aside from that I understand everyones love for these dogs. I have fallen in love and was heartbroken to take him home! Though the reunion was more than worth it. Thanks again for everything, I could never say enough about these wonderful companions or the people that love them! Thankyou for helping.

  • What a happy ending! I am glad the owner was found. Thank YOU Erin, for doing the right thing and tracking down the owner. :D

  • YAY BANDITO!!!! OMG this just fills my heart with joy!! :D :D :D

  • Yea! Go Erin! You did a wonderful thing. I know of a certian Basenji rescue group where you could adopt a B that you could snuggle on for years :D:D

    You did a great thing.

  • That's such a good thing you did. How did you find the owner? Did you check the microchip? Or did someone just reply to the posters? Did you find out how far away he had wandered? Did the owners say how he got away?

  • He follows thier little female beagle. ( her name is Baby, I feel like stealing that little sweetheart ) When she escapes so does he. They wandered approximately 10 miles away, i know exactly where he lives now. And I was actually taking him to get scanned when a lady called my friend who printed the posters for me, and claimed the dogs. We had put posters on every door on the street that someone had seen the dogs, and the rest on stops and mailboxes. So the posters did all the work and I donated the gas for the ride. He was annoying in the truck but he was so funny and curious, my belly hurt from laughing at him - I couldnt be mad. So thats how it happened - the end!

  • Well done, ecbouton! You rock!

    Yes to the suggestions to get her checked and also spay her. Aggression may not necessarily be vicious but rather reaction to the scary situation she encountered. It can be dealt with through consistent and regular training (with treats to start) - you might try the Fenzi Dog Academy online classes (they have a great class for retraining reactive dogs). But regardless you need to be more aware of her surroundings and not put her in a situation that may be scary to her or at least get her attention back on you (treats) when you can't avoid the situation.

    @nouno: His parents are also in Cyprus. His mother is 4 years old. Did not have any problems. His father is 2 years old and also did not have any problems. Not yet. Is too expensive as I have to send all the test to the USA. But I will get through with it as long as I am able to. Age that Fanconi can show up is from usually 3 years all the way till over 10 years

    HI, we don't have many breeders in New Zealand but luckily there was one that had a website which came up when I did a search on the web and was given information about more breeders here. If you do find a breeder please make sure they are a responsible breeder and do all the health testing etc. Lot's of info on this forum regarding this and maybe someone can help further. Good luck with your search. Jolanda and Kaiser

    As mine age I try to keep a bit of weight on them because I know they may reach a stage when they just don't keep weight as the organs weaken.

    @lvoss: Instead of a teeter or in addition to, you may want to build a wobble board. These are great for teaching pups to get used to surfaces that move and they can move in any direction and the board moves. I used this with my last litter and they loved it and my girl Sophie has been absolutely fearless about all the agility equipment. http://www.mfrye.com/agilityeq/buja.html Great suggestion and wonderful Idea. Its probably a better choice than I would have made for him. Also thanks for the link on how to build one. Jason
