My sweet little retired mum

    I have recently adopted the loveliest sweetest little retired breeding female basenji. I am told she was bred this last fall but “missed” making her available for adoption at 5 yrs. old. Her nipples are still very prominent and people have been asking about it including the vet tech. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Some girl have nipples are bigger they others and many never really go back. My girl who is 9+ had a litter when she was 3 and her nipples still look like she should be nursing... LOL. This goes and any breed, not just Basenjis

    if they have had around 10 puppies pulling on her nipples, I can imagine that her nipples are proud. Mine older girl still has proud nipples after her two litters, and she is around 13yo. Don't despair, nature has been good to her - she is a Basenji!

    Thank you all. I will know how to field questions now (it’s not like it was anyone’s business but it was making me feel uncomfortable. I felt people were looking at my beautiful girl like there was something wrong with her!) I love her so much and she truly is beautiful as are all basenjis. Now I know what to say. “Her nipples are proud nipples as yours would be if you had nursed 10 babies twice in your life. “ lol! Thank you all.

    I've always had undigested items just passing through - makes the poop interesting but no ill effects.

    Oh definitely - your pup must have been the model for the bambi! I generally just get the generic "what kind of dog will that be when it grows up"! Minnesota is a hunting state and most people have the big hunting dogs (- or the little mop dogs).

    hahaha. Cute photo. I had to put storage boxes under my bed because Tyler and Zoey could actually fit all the way under and would crawl around under there, and I was worried about them getting stuck–especially Tyler since he's bigger/taller than Zoey.

    @Vegas: "Sorry sir, he always does this when he smells bacon." Ha! That's funny. :D It's sure not fun getting a ticket though. Sure sorry to hear that. Stinkin' slow semi :)
