  • Yes, I know Nancy. She is in our local basenji club and I see her at dog shows from time to time.

  • Cute x 100!

  • welcome to the forum, Kai looks so very cute.
    You will certainly have your work cut out with two puppies

  • Very cute. Congratulations

  • I am so excited for you. Double trouble all at once though! I think this is a good thing because they will grow up together and play with each other with no problems. We had our female first and then 4 years later brought home a male. She was not very happy. I thought they would be happy and be play buddies but this didn't really happen as best as I thought it would. They still play but she gets grumbly with him. I am hoping that them being littermates will solve that problem and you will have two little bundles of joy doing the B500 in your house!

  • OMG, TWO puppies, what fun…

    And it is good to make an appointment and visit with a vet, get a feel for his/her attitude. if not already basenji-knowledgeable, they will need to be willing to learn. If they tell you that a basenji is like any other dog or 'bow up' at the idea of working "with you", shop around.

  • Thanks for the warm words, everyone. I think it will be fun, but am not delusional about it being easy.

    I have been reading several training books. I love Sophia Yin's approach - I think I will base my training mostly on her, but add the clicker. She advocates having your puppy in sight constantly the first month, often using a hands-free leash worn on the waist. Since my husband and I both work from home, I think it will be great to split the puppies up for large chunks of time while we are working. I told my husband that he'd be wearing a "basenji belt" the first month. Most of his meetings are on Skype, so nobody sees what is going on below his shoulders… Wonder how a random baroo will be perceived?

  • We're doing the same Sophia Yin "basenji belt" program, lol. We'll have to compare notes afterwards to see how it worked.

  • very cute pup :)

    Kai is also a Hawaiian name :)

  • Aaw.. what a cutie! You'll be so busy with two pups.. It sure wouldn't be my choice :D But I bet you'll have sooo much fun! Post lots of pics!
