@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.
My only kid happens to be four legged.

I find both the excuses and behavior of the "foster" mom appalling. Low spray/neuter programs– use them, then charge that cost for adoption. Free to a good home is .. well anyway. Luckily Emma got into a good home and is loved.
Glad you joined. Read. A lot. Know that many basenjis do not get along with even opposite sex, that your best bet is a male. Pictures here are always oohed and ahhed over, don't disappoint us!

Welcome to the forum. I am glad little Cherokee managed to find a good home with you. We would love to see pictures of her!

Welcome, have you tried BRAT for your next Basenji?

Welcome to you and Cherokee. Basenjis are addictive, and I see you have been bitten by the bug. I hope you find the ideal addition to your home, and as stated, opposite sex is probably your best bet. Good luck on finding the perfect fit!

Welcome & great story!!!
Basenji's are the best dog & I don't understand why I don't see more people with a Basenji as their dog. Maybe because they are very smart & also not the dog for just anyone. Enjoy the forum.
Cheers… -
Glad she found a nice home! I hope she was the only Basenji at that puppy mill.

Welcome! Neat rescue story, Cherokee was lucky to have found you!
Another Forum posting today listed a really nice looking male for $50 in South Carolina, not that far a drive!

One thing you need to do quickly is get a Fanconi test done and begin urine strip testing.

Welcome to the Forum and thank goodness that you rescued Cherokee!

Thinly disguised as a forum-it's really a place where you are accepted, understood and loved. We all share the same "problem" -we're all owned by Basenjis and love it! I have two and a B&W foster. Love Cherokee's name-hope you guys find a sibling soon. BTW-my B's are male & female….
