  • @tanza:

    LOL…. "young".... if only... more like old and crazy enough...

    And thank... works for me 6 (3 & 3). The stud owner sent me a text and said "I hop you have 8 or 9.... " I sent back, if I do you will find anything over 6being fedx'ed to you!

    I was going to say 7 - all boys, but I like you.

  • Lmao, too funny agilebasenji,
    I like Pat too, I say five- either 4:1 or 2:3 ratio

    If the stud owner doesn't want the extras you can send them to me :D I love naughty puppies :D

    Good luck!

    LOL, could happen

  • 2nd Breeding done yesterday…. Ultrasound October 25th

  • looking forward to seeing photos in Nov of the happy babies.

  • Just curious- what does FedEx label a box like that? SPERM inside ? DON'T TIP?

    Just wondering, lol

  • LOL Chealsie!!!!! Not labeled anything special, there is special packaging that the Vet uses as the sperm is chilling and spun down, so the container is pretty small! It is the dry ice that takes up most of the package.

  • Lol, for all I knew it could have been labeled "LIVE ANIMALS"! I didn't know if rules and regulations state that anything of that nature needed to have special labeling for the handler. That's good to know, gives me a chuckle though that the FedEx deliverer didn't know what he was handling
    :D

  • Oh no, not puppy season again! My husband wanted a puppy last year but I was too late to contact anyone and reserve, then we adopted Chipley and filled our quota.
    Don still talks about wanting a naughty puppy, he is home full time so he deserves one, but 4 is way too many, and Nicky would never forgive us.

    I would love to VISIT a houseful of puppies. I'm sure yours will be amazing, Pat.

    I have 4 and I'm perfectly sane. (Of course one is a malinois and she's crazier than all the basenjis put together)

    No, really I am.

    I AM too sane.

    Uhm, oh, well, okay, maybe you're right.

  • Ultrasound complete! And the count is SEVEN….. pictures will be on my website this evening!

  • Whoo hoo, that's awesome news!!! Seven tri puppies, you should be certifiably insane!!!!

    I can't wait to see the pics and hear the great news of their arrival

    CONGRATULATIONS

  • Pictures of the ultrasound now posted at www.tanzabasenjis.net

    And yes I will be certifiably insane! Litter should be due November 27-29, 2012…. might even get to have a "quiet" Thanksgiving dinner"... but will be a bouncing Christmas and New Year!!!!!!!!!

    Oh and in case you are interested... I was DONE when they got to 5!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How is the expectant mom doing?? I'd love to meet a pregnant basenji..I'd imagine they look like pot bellied pigs!!

    Did she take well to the ultrasound?

  • Right now she really doesn't look any different and she is doing great… she showed this past weekend (a bit thicker in the waist), but she is still chasing squirrels... eating like she usually does.... of course talk to me when she is about a week from birth... she should look like a stuffed pig... I was pretty sure the breeding took, her nipples have enlarged and turned pink.... that didn't happen with her other seasons... but not always a sure sign.

  • Congratulations. Looking forward to puppy pictures in December!

  • Looking forward to hearing about all the mischief that 7 basenji puppies can come up with :D

    Congratulations!

  • The theme of the little should have something to do with mischief because that's sure to be what they bring!

  • LOL, don't do theme's with my litters.

    And as we say, be careful what you name them…. as many times they will be THAT name... Case in point, Day Trip to Tanza-Jamaa, Jeff is forever "tripping" over Trip!

    Yes you can be unlucky with anything, but doing everything you can to ensure a healthy dog should be the top priority. My girl has had blood work every year just as routine after my firsts problems. She has no symptoms, we just caught it on the yearly two years ago she slightly elevated, last year she was more elevated. We first started just Nutramax denamarin, three months later it made no difference to her readings. We switched her to Dr Dobs detox diet and Nutramax denamarin, went back after three months and her levels went up! So now we have her on regular food, denamarin in the morning, milk thistle in the afternoon and twice daily 1000mg of fish oil. Due to go back in February and see if that works. If not we will probably have to ultrasound. All her other blood work is normal so that is a good thing.

    @Kipawa: I think most people will agree that neutering a dog does not spoil their spirit or temperament. More often, spaying or neutering results in a more calm, balanced animal. I agree, but we have lots of people on the Forum from over the "pond" and they have most different ideas about spay/neuter, different culture, different ideas…. and that is their right.... sometimes we all will need to agree to disagree..

    4 sounds like a very manageable number.. I will keep my fingers crossed that they will come out in colors wished/hoped for. Either way they will be absolutely adorable, I am sure of that.

    Thanks Andrea and Robyn, That was helpful. Zoni isn't horribly mouthy but I definitely have some more work to do with her. I carry a nylabone in my pocket for the occasion.
