Can a 3 month old b go outside?

Basenji Talk
  • I picked up Lucky yesterday from the breeder and it said that she had her first shots done. Their was a storm so we didn't go outside but today, I decided to take a tiny walk with her. Is this safe? can i do this? Does it matter if not all of her shots have been done? Please help me out!

  • You want to keep her away from other dogs until she has immunity, also don't allow her to sniff around where dogs have been. What did her breeder advise? Also, isn't the weather a bit extreme at the moment? You don't want her to get too cold!

  • I agree with eeeefarm about staying away from other dogs; but I've had my dog out in extreme cold weather since he was a puppy with no ill side affects. Dogs are very hardy.

    Not too sure what's going over there in the east but…. sharp ice is what you need to watch out for; it can cut their paws if they run on it a lot, and strip their paw pads pretty good.

    I would avoid over 40 minutes of that.... soft snow won't kill them though. Since it's a puppy I'd watch their ears a little if you're out longer than 45 minutes (if it's under 30ish degrees).

    A tiny walk they can handle.

  • I can say we just had a blizzard and have been getting one to two storms a week. Oakley has a Hurrta coat, a snood which he sometimes uses as a neck warmer and boots used for wet snow or extremely cold weather. Despite that his paw pads started bleeding yesterday mid walk…he really can't handle the constant snow,ice,cold and ice melt..
    I think you should be able to bring your pup out; just keep an eye on any signs of hard shivering or motionless (not wanting to move), lifting up of one foot at a time and staring at you. All those can be signs of cold uncomfortability. Congrats on your new pup and I do agree to use caution around dogs you aren't familiar with, but also keep in mind socialization is super important as well. Try for positive experiences with dogs at a safe distance and try to get in up close experiences with dogs whose medical history and owner reliability are there

    @pawla - Entropion is for sure a possible. Basenjis are know known for this but I have known a couple of Basenjis with this issue.

    The coat looks gorgeous - it's just the skin…I have noticed since it is persisting it down here (and cold - well it is Summer...) that the flaking is much better - I wonder if the flat is too dry for him? It has got central heating...which is till occasionally switched on - and it's nearly June :(

    See that is what I am dying to hear. we just got home and he made a really worried sound when we got out in the backyard. Come to find out Luna, our Schnorkie and Otis had been "playing" with one of our younger chicks that keeps flying out of the run…needless to say he was bothered by the fact that A) the chicken was traumatized and B) I was mad...Thankfully the chick is not hurt severly and will be Ok with some loving inside for a few days.

    I think I saw Sophie on a b video website and I was so glad that someone else's B made that noise I showed it to my husband and daughter. Thanks for posting that video because as a new B owner we thought we had some kind of devel dog!!! She does it the most to our oldest dog Josie. There are nights she even does it from under our covers in bed when she hears Josie moving out in the living room. Too Funny!!!!
