  • Hi All,

    I'm new here. I found this site while just browsing around the web like I often do and reading about Basenjis, like I don't know enough already. I've had Izzy for 5 years now. She's quite a handful. She can open the oven, child safety locks, scale a 4' fence, dig under a fence, destroy a bed, destroy a couch, and wear down dogs three times her size. She's also very sweet, when she wants to be, cute as anything and very playful.

    Well, anyway, my girlfriend and I just moved into a new apartment together and she has a little alb multipoo (maltese/poodle), and I need some advice on getting the dogs acquainted with each other for living together. Needless to say, the little one has never had anything much in the way of rules and my girlfriend is very nervous that Izzy will see the little one as lunch. I'm not gonna lie, Izzy has given her some rather strange looks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I know there isn't a lot of detail here, but I can fill in the blanks if anyone offers anything in the way of help. Thanks! I need these dogs to get along.

  • Welcome Greg. Its always best to get dogs acquainted outside their own territory. It looks as though they have already met. I hope there is no rush to get them together as it can take time. It all depends on the dogs. Take them for plenty of walks together, preferably long ones. I see they are the same sex. Are they neutered? What are their temperaments like? Do they normally get on with other dogs?

    I agree across the board. DaysiefromBenin, my older dog (Ty) takes one sniff of a cooked egg and he's out the dog door puking. The smell alone puts him over the edge. Both mine have occasional ETS if they snarf all their food early morning. I use a cheese slice on a cracker and that stops the tummy grumble and tendency to vomit. (Tyler's tummy can sometimes be heard from over 5 feet away)

    @nala121498: Congrats and welcome, fellow New Englander! Looking forward to some snowy pictures if Santa brings you a camera! Thanks! I love Vermont, everytime I go there on the way to Canada, I think, gee, that is the way Maine used to be. :( I definitely need that camera and will definitely need to figure out the winter thing in general considering I run her on my bike now and will need to make up all that exercise.
