Basenji, newcastle upon tyne, UK, looking for good home
-
sorry you have had no interest in Mindy. I did mention her to a couple at dog training but they have two bitches. Generaly the advice is for people to get Basenjis of the opposite sex if possible as same sex ones can fight. Basenjis can be a bolshy breed and even when play fighting can be quite rough and noisy. With the right owners and family circumstances i'm sure she will be fine.
-
yes she does play quite rough, which is why she fine with my young boy cause he likes to have good chase and (friendly) fight.
She is also getting on nicely with a male cavalier i am looking after but think this is cause he so laid back she doesn't find him offensive! -
My two play fight and it sounds awfull, lots of snarling and flashing teeth. It's true that they can be too much for some dogs thats why we got another one,lol.
Our two get on with a cavalier, like you say they are so inoffensive -
sorry can't remember, have you contacted the breeder ?
-
her original owners tried her first.
Think she is probably more motivated by money than where her pups ended up.
By googling Mindy's pedigree have read couple of other comments about the pups which don't make her sound like the most ethical breeder.
maybe i'm wrong but as said before i don't think most basenji breeders would have sold her to her original owners with their level of experience of dogs.
When i first met her at 7 months old was obvious already struggling with her and the first thing i done was send them to a dog trainer…they went for a few lessons and then gave up! -
I hope this works out for everyone involved!!
-
excellent - hope all works out well.
-
thanks for the update. I hope everything works out well.

Fantastic news, she's lucky she had you to take care of her.
