  • Hehe, I actually ran into Hobbes' mom about a week before they got Billie, then his dad about a week after they they returned her. He did mention that it was a little too crazy having two young Basenjis in the house.

    I feel very lucky to have such a mellow, "mature" Basenji. laugh But part of me definitely envies those of you who get to live with multiple B's! Someday, perhaps…

  • There are trials in February in Hollister, February 25th and 26th. Check out the events on www.norcalbasenjis.org

    LOL about "wild"… now keep in mind if she was just in season that will sometimes cause what we call "blue funk" and the bitches are a bit Post PMS... and quieter...

    My two girls are way different for 8 wks during and after being in season. They then go back to normal racing, chasing, wreslting, with each other just about 24/7

  • Well, we've already fallen in love even if she is actually in a "blue funk" :)
    I think having two young Bs in the house is actually better because they keep each other company. I find myself getting more work done! It also helps that we have a big backyard as Hobbes' parents do not. They have plenty of space to go wild!

  • Yes, for sure a big yard helps…..

    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    @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.

    @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.

    Your boys are part of the reason I have basenjis! When I was researching the breed, I attended the Basenji Club of Northern California's Specialty Show and one of your boys spent nearly the entire show in my lap. After that day, I knew I would at some point bring home a basenji and the following spring, I did just that. Nicky, turned 14 years old this past December.
