    Hey everybody!

    I just picked up my 16 week old pup today. His coat is tricolor and his name is Oliver Lee.
    He was shy when we first came home, and it took him a couple minutes to leave his cage. I tried taking him out for a walk around the block but he didn't want to walk at all, probably still nervous from the trip and confused from all the new impressions. When a yorkie pup walked by he took a couple steps back in fear, even though the other dog was less than half his size..lol

    I'm Swedish but I currently live in Sao Paulo. We live right next to a big park where there's a lot of dogs all the time. I hope he does fine tomorrow when we go explore :)

    Welcome to the forum! Not sure why your post didn't come up as a new post, but normally this is an friendly bunch. I hope my response kicks it into new posts.

    I really hope that you take more time to get the pup used to you and the new home before pushing other dogs at him. Let him become confident in YOU before you ask him to be okay in strange situations.

    Thank you for adopting this beauty. She looks so much like my first basenji.

    Welcome and so sorry to hear about the health issues of your two B's…. Thank you for opening up your home to them... And Thank Goodness we now have DNA tests for Fanconi so that no Basenji ever has to suffer with this horrible affliction.

    My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.

    I look forward to your pictures. I'm a technophobe too - I keep telling myself I can do it but so far haven't posted any. One of my bitches was spoiled for the show ring by such a judge who didn't know how to approach a hound (although he was a Saluki judge and should have!). She was experienced at showing as well but was traumatised because when she backed away at his front on, silly voice approach she nearly fell from the table! Of course she blamed the fall on his approach. I worked on her intensively but to no avail. Yes, Basenjis on the whole are friendly and they never forget a friend either!
