Hi everyone!

  • Hello! My name is Sebaztian, I live in San Francisco and I'm picking up a basenji puppy from Bushbaby Basenjis in Livermore in a couple of months! The litter will be either red or brindle and the breeder has suggested a boy for me. They should be about 10-12 weeks by the time I get them, but I am completely new to this so I am really excited to raise a pup from the very beginning. Any tips or advice you guys can provide would be very much appreciated :) I am reading through a couple of the intro threads and trying to get an idea on how to prepare my home and life for my new little companion :)

    Looking forward to sharing stories and pictures with you all! :D

  • Hello, welcome and congrats on your new puppy! There will be lots of advice– and new puppies-- on here, so I hope you stick around!

  • Hi Sebaztian,
    Terri's litter was born yesterday. All Brindles…. 3 girls, 2 boys..... Glad to see you hear!!!

  • Congrats on the new puppy! How exciting to be getting a new puppy! They are not like other dogs, lol, so be prepared!

  • He is doing everything the right way!…. Did his homework, visited with Tanza at our Specialty show, however we didn't have a puppy for him due to the prior reservations... referred him to Terri, so it worked out well!

  • Congratz, Sebaztian! They grow quickly, so be prepared to be like "Wow!" Let us know what you name him and show us pics once you get them!

  • Thanks for the welcome, guys! I'm really excited, need to start getting the house puppy-proofed!

    No way, Pat! Thank you for letting me know!!! I'm sure Terri has been super busy taking care of all the newborns and everything, but I'm really happy to know they've arrived! Can't wait to see them all! :) :) :)

    Glad to have you aboard the forum! Very handsome boy, the name always agrees with them, Hero of Mischief is very good and proper Basenji title!! Very interesting if you were related in bloodlines to someone here in the states! Hope to hear more from you!

    I agree!! You could tell she was bored with the whole thing and that was when she got all defiant!!! How do they keep them from not getting distracted when they do the classes at say Petco? We are going in Feb. and I am a little concerned about it.

    @Quercus: some of mine make a sound kind of like "hrumphf" if they want something…some will moan, and whine. Our male just gives us the mind meld stare.... OMG! The "mind meld stare"…that's a perfect way to describe it! Mine does the "hrumphf" thing too. Sometimes it sounds like a sneeze, because if you're near it, you get snotted.
