    Hi everyone,

    I'm getting a new Basenji pup in a couple weeks, her name is Panda! She's a black and white girl and will be about 10 weeks old when I get her.

    If anyone has any tips on food, treats, games, etc... Please feel free to advise.

    Ill post pictures when she arrives!

    Thanks everyone, have a great day.

    Congrats... all good questions... should start with your breeder. I do not feed puppy food, mine eat adult food and I only use grain free. I also change up foods every 3 to 4 weeks that way I never have a problem introducing new foods. Veggies are a favorite as are most fruits...

    Who are you getting your puppy from? Many of us are related by our Basenjis pedigrees

    Please research the health problems in Basenjis especially Fanconi Syndrome! There is a DNA cheek swab test for it and I believe it only costs $75. If your dog has not been tested and is over two years old, she needs to be strip tested for glucose in the urine monthly until you have the DNA test done and obtain the results. Untreated Fanconi Syndrome will kill a dog! Here is a webpage that explains health problems in Basenjis: https://www.basenji.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=155&Itemid=292 Jennifer

    Welcome-Basenji's=two year olds (I want, I will get what I want, you can't make me, phthhht on you, did I do that?) Yeah, it's never THEIR fault, it's always yours. Unfortunately, I've been in your situation until it didn't work anymore and placed the one girl with my son and his girlfriend.

    Sorry if we sound so disagreeable … but it is so important that the health of our breed is #1 on everyones list and that everyone understands and does as much health testing as possible before breeding... especially since we have genetic problems that we can't test for, the family tree becomes our only way of knowing what we might expect... and it is only fair to people thinking about getting a Basenjis as a family companion that they know what they might expect..... Everyone should visit the BCOA Health site (www.basenjihealth.org) and learn what is being done to find genetic testing and what everyone can do to help
