Hi Everyone,

I am new to the forum and just wanted to say hello. I got my first purebred basenji in April this year. He is now 61/2 month old and his name is Xavier. I also have a mix breed Basenji (I think she might be mixed with a boxer). She is now 12 years old, but is still keeping up with the puppy.

We are currently training Xavier to be my husbands service dog (ESA). He seems to really enjoy the training and is picking things up quickly. However, I will say he is super stubborn at times, but we knew that going in.

Look forward to participating in the forum in the future.

@macattack

Thanks for that - I went to the AKC website and got his reg# and birthday AND one other brother. All that is registered from that litter.

I added them both to the database this morning and they will appear later today when I re-upload it all. You can have hours of fun, exploring Charlie's ancestry !

Maybe we'll find others later -

Hi @2baroos , the vet has checked for a UTI and she is healthy. I have tried thunder jackets with her and she tears it off with assistance from her companion. I'm afraid she will certainly remove anything we put on her, especially diapers. We're trying to discourage her from peeing in the crate at all. She used to sleep in a cardboard box that she loved and started to completely destroy it once the anxiety started, now she shreds her bedding and pees on it. I know how this must be really upsetting to her and am trying my best to take care of her.

@dorvaan:

He's gonna be incredibly picky about his toys. We got him 5 different ones, to begin with. He ignores all of them, except for one. Now, little rawhide bones? That's a whole 'nother story…..

If he spent a lot of time in a kennel he might not be used to playing with toys. If he likes food-based toys you could try a stuffed kong or or something like these…

You can get them on Amazon or a lot of other websites. I saw the treat-ball at Petco.

And if you are interested in taking the puppy to a eye doc, I can get some recommendations for you. There are a lot of basenji people in the southern part of the state and I can get some references for you when I meet up with the basenji club this weekend.

Hi Anne -

Thanks for checking in on us. Kona is settling in perfectly. She is so sweet and only causes trouble a couple times a day - mainly when my husband isn't home 🙂

She traveled with us to Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando over the Thanksgiving weekend and handled it all very well. She even played beautifully with my nieces and nephew.

We are so lucky to have found her and she is the perfect fit for us! We look forward to coming and meeting the other Tampa Basenjis. I am hoping to come to the park after the holidays once Kona is completely caught up on her shots - she goes for round 2 tonight.

I will post some more pictures soon too!
