Rats are all over.. I hear Beverly Hills is loaded with Rats..not the 2 legged kind either…
Oh Sharron, good one!
Maybe God made rats for basenjis? :rolleyes:
What do you think about this name??

Yea my dad comes home after a couple of hours after I leave and he lets him out of the crate and plays with him. Then when he leaves my sister wakes up and plays with him. Then 2 hours after she leaves I come home from schools, so she's not in the crate for too long. Only at night, she stays in the crate for 5-6 hours at night. Btw, do u guys recommended putting her litter box in the crate. She's already potty trained and knows that she has to go in the box. The crate we have is way to big and I don't wanna give her too much space.

I have a female named Bandit! Her AKC name is Bandit, outlaw of the West!
She totally lives up to her name. She's a ragamuffin, through & through! Nothing girly about her at all!!!
-
Of course we say, be careful what you name them…. as they will live up to it....
Yes, they will. Kaia's registered name is Meisterhaus Twice the Trouble…guess who's the troublemaker at my house? Sometimes I even think it should have been Triple the Trouble
Naming can be difficult, especially when you prepare for a boy and come home with a girl! I think Bandit is cute for a girl, but it's really whichever name you feel suits her best. If in a few days, you find something else you like, it won't be difficult to change it.

NO…. she should stay in the crate and YOU should take her out after a few hours to the potty box.... and usually I would wake mine up at different hours when sleeping and put them outside (California) or in the potty box...

Congrats on getting your pup and I like Bandit for a girl or boy.
Naming a puppy is hard, lucky it's your choice and you don't have to please the rest of a family.Jolanda and Kaiser

right, from the beginning my mom told me that the name is MY decision and whatever i name it will be fine. And I am the first person to see it in the morning after it slept. I wake up an hour earlier before school so i have time to play it. minor sacrifice for all the happiness she brings me. I'm not sure why people say the Basenji breed is not intelligent. The second day after an 8 hour trip into a new brand new environment, i already taught her how to sit. I think they are very smart dogs.
-
Just wanted to let you know, i have decided to name her Dexy. Although i like Bandit more, i called her Bandit for today, and i felt it was too difficult to pronounce. I know it sounds stupid but i feel like a dogs name should be flow out the mouth a little easier. Although i think my registered name is going to be 4-eyed Bandit because it has spots above its eyes that look like glasses haha. Here are the pics i promised.

I totally get that! It's actually one of the things I consider when naming a new dog. How quickly I can get it out, how it feels on my tongue and how the name shortens.

I don't think that sounds stupid at all, I totally agree, a dog's name should flow off the tongue. Shout the name out the back door a couple times, what does it sound like then? Also, be aware of what the name sounds like when it's shortened, "Dex" sounds better then "Band ". I always thought "Pistol" would be a good name for a dog, but….

Dexy is a lovely happy name, our boy is Kaiser which has been shortened to Kai which becomes KaiKai in a happy tone to get him to recall(haha sort of recall). Enjoy your girl she looks like a snuggle bug and people who say they aren't intelligent obviously never had a Basenji or think they aren't because they are smart enough to choose whether to obey or not, I would say they don't have slave obedience but respect obedience if you get what I mean.

Thanks, yea i think eventually everyone will just call her Dex. I want to take her out for a walk so badly already but im waiting for her to get all her vaccinations. For now i walk her around in my fenced backyard with a leash
-
In my opinion, Dexy rolls off the tongue more than Dex does…...love the name Dexy....it's like 'sexy' but with a little flair. And she is indeed a beauty.
-
Well so far it's pretty easy saying Dexy. And I'm glad you like the name haha, I think she's beautiful aswell
-
She is lovely! I will post tomorrow…
