    Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie and i recently adopted a dog from the shelter that I believe is a basenji.. In fact, I’ve been so captivated by this breed that I have never heard of, that I have been calling her Basenji! She is a wonderful dog. I just have a lot of questions and hope to learn more about her breed on this forum. The only characteristic of a basenji that she does not have is that her ears do not stick up. They have the extra little flap, but they droop. I know she has been abused and maybe she’s still learning to trust me.. but everything else about her screams BASENJI!!

    Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.[image: 1609703338260-1binti-orchids1.jpg]
