Hi, Socialization was one of my worries and I wanted to get it right, get your friends over and have them wear hats and bags and anything and everything at different times, what we did at home was just getting the household socialization such as umbrellas, pots, rubbish bins etc started and if you have friends with vaccinated and friendly dogs get them around. There is a lot of socialization you can do before your pup is fully vaccinated at home, rubbish day is a good day for standing at the gate watching the big noisy trucks go by, picking up the bins and banging them down, watching the mower, hearing the motorbike being started. Just remember let your pup take it's time don't force it when it is uncomfortable. Our 6 month old boy is doing great and is quite a confident fella. At 14 weeks we did puppy class for 7 weeks and only started going to a dog park at 4 months and he automatically knew how to be a dog when he was with the other dogs. Good luck.
How's it gonna be with 8???????

How Will They All Fit In The Bed? You May Have To Sleep On The Floor
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
We do have four sleep with us…......and a Terrier mix thrown in for good measure......everyone seems to find a spot.:D
Our two oldest, sleep with my oldest Son......seems fitting.:)
I think the two visitors are crate sleepers, they may be bunking in with my other Son.....but in crates. He could put them in his bed if he wants to.
We could just spoil them to death and when the owner picks them up tell her..........Oh yeah, by the way.....we fixed them so they don't need to sleep in crates anymore.:eek:

what do your neighbors thing? do you have a ton of land? I would love to see pics and stories as your week progresses.

Not a lot of land…..an acre.......out in the country though. The B's don't make noise and most neighbors don't even know we have them.
Someone close to us have Husky's or something similar and they howl like wolves......... a lot. That would drive me nuts!
I will take pics Mantis.....count on it!;)

OMG! Get prepared - and lots of rest while you can! Looking forward to the stories and pictures! Lots of luck!

@BDawg1005:
Can't wait to see the pics!!
We had 8 B's here when your guys paid us a visit.;)
-
Oh yes please do share LOTS of pics and maybe some video too, IM SURE youll have PLENTY of video worth activity!!
-
We had a big get together once at our house and it was great seeing a large pack of basenji's running loose. Great fun
The funny part was telling which dog was yours. It's not that easy to tell when they are constantly moving about.
While out in the yard an unlucky chipmonk made an apperance and darned if 10 basenji;s could not catch that thing!
Be sure to get pictures!
