Bring your paperwork that the breeder gave you to your first visit because they will want to know some things like birth date, always (in the first year or so when lots of shots are administered) bring the vaccination record book Pam and Sheila gave you and ensure they make a copy of it and not just write it down..you will also want to update your copy as your pup receive shots so like I said..bring it so they can fill it in for you. Any questions you have regarding vaccinations I highly suggest asking your vet but also getting in touch with Pam to ask her opinion, she knows her dogs and her lines and she is better equipped than the vet to give you an honest evaluation on which to give. Also try to follow her guidance on neutering and spaying (if you plan to). I know with Oakley I followed their advice. It might be true or not but in my opinion basenjis tend to mature slower and I find they need more time for the growth plates to close before castrating is a wise choice.
First Week with our Basenji
-
What a beautiful color she is! So awesome that you adopted
-
She looks like a doll and sounds like one too! Yes, the baroo was done to tell you how happy she was. As for the weird head positions, we get those here too! I think they are known as 'bendy heads' by many of us here.
-
Bendy heads, bendy body, the will smack you when you aren't paying attention-all kinds of lovely things. Congrats on the adoption.
-
She sounds like a charmer for sure!
-
What a lovely girl! She sounds all Basenji to me.
congrats on your adoption!! -
Thanks everyone…she is very cute...but she knows it too!!! She is a diva for sure....I'll share more pictures as soon as I can get her to sit still long enough to snap one
-
Sounds like you are having a good time with her.
Glad to see she is settling in and taking over
-
Congratulations! She is lovely, and obviously happy to be with you.
-
Beautiful Basenji! She looks like a Saavic too! That's so appropriate for a basenji: half Vulcan, half Romulan!
-
Haha!!! thanks so much! I'm glad you got the reference with her name!! We love Star Trek and couldn't think of a more appropriate name for her with those little pointy ears
-
Good luck on getting a picture when she is still, if she is anything like our 2 she won't be still very muvh. Our Bitty does this thing, when she comes up on the bed at bedtime she will flop down facing directly away from us and then bend her head back mover her shoulder to look at us.
