    so i havent been wanting to say anything because nothing is set in stone as yet… but god im just so excited and hope things go to plan so to speak.

    so Hope's breeder is rehoming one of her pups born about 5mths ago due to her not being suitable in the show ring and for breeding. so shes wanting to find a new pet home for her. i have put my hand up to see if she will fit in with our family.

    i have met her as a pup and Hope has played with her but they havent seen each other for a few months.

    we are waiting to make sure its ok with our landlady (fingeres crossed we are allowed) but we are already meeting on friday arvo to see how they go and so i can meet her properly again.

    anyways, i havent said anything to anyone cos we just dont know whats going to happen. but IM SO EXCITED! ..... and i needed to blurb it somewhere :P and shes a tri... ive always wanted a tri!

    So we are currently +1 :) I have fallen for her, just waiting to spend some time with her- Hope keeps hogging her lol

    Hope takes her toys to her and offers one end so they play tug lol so cute.

    I'm sure they will get tired soon!…. .... :)

    Still waiting for our landlady to approve. Hope she does cos we all love her already n it's her first night. If not then she's had some home experience and different sociliasation which helps. But I'd love her to stay forevers.

    :)

    Keeping my fingers crossed that your landlady approves… maybe you can tell her that two basenjis are always better than just one? :)

    Hehe I'll have some begging to do if she says no- she fits in perfectly and even has the OH wrapped around her finger n he wasn't at all keen on the idea to start with. We want her to stay :)

    Oh she is very cute! They look to be getting along just fine - if they can eat in each other's presence without being afraid of food stealing, that's a very good sign.

    I thought that too (about the food). But I do feed them separately so there's no issues :)

    It's currently 2:45 am here and I've been slowly kicked out of bed :P hehe

    And in awesome news: landlady got back to us and said as long as there's no problems: its a YES :)

    @eeeefarm said in Wet weather exercise: @elbrant said in Wet weather exercise: I wish I could take the credit for Doodle. But she was trained and taught before I brought her home. If she is still reliable you can take credit for that. So many times a well trained animal goes to a new home and within months the good manners and training evaporates. Seen it many, many times with horses, not quite so often with dogs but they don't tend to change hands so often. Unfortunately people often reinforce bad behaviour without being aware of what they are doing, and then complain because the "stupid" animal has developed bad habits! I concur. If it isn't maintained, then behaviors erode.

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !

    @seattlebasenji said in Potty Training Difficulty - 12-15 mo old Basenji: *** Any ideas about how I can effectively potty train him? *** You mention that you take your dog to the same area when you take him out to 'toilet', I suppose thinking that he'll associate that spot as his bathroom(?). But I think you would be more successful if you took your dog out for long walks. Your dog needs exercise anyway, and movement begets movement (if you know what I mean). Besides, walking is a very social activity for dogs. They walk in packs and when you walk with your dog, you become part of their pack. Some people like two half hour walks each day. Personally, I try to get one really long walk in every day (weather permitting), typically 3 miles or 90 minutes. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. (I got bored walking the same route. Now we go different places (local dog parks, woods, and such) and explore new routes. Mix it up a little. The walk provides time for the two of you to bond. It's an opportunity for you to reinforce training, provide encouragement (and praise). And it allows your dog to eliminate (or toilet), naturally, without pressure.

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.

    @Vanessa: The pup won't be coming home till at least 11 or 12 weeks. We are in the process of moving into our new house and don't want to bring a new pup into that environment. We want the painting finished and our furniture in first :) Maybe this is a good thing then…Chance has been picking on our cat and treating him like a chew toy. The cat does not mind and I think he actually enjoys it (my cat is odd) but now Chance will know how it feels to be picked on. Our poor cat :rolleyes: You might want to then see if you can get a collar over to Leightons to put on your girl so that she gets used to it…..and yes, Chance will get a "taste" of his own "medicine..."...:D
