Congrats on the new dog. Did you bring your dog?
If so how did the meeting go?
We keep our in seperate crates one on top of the other stacked. The female jumps in & out of her crate.

thank you thank you thank you..any advise anyone. two seperate beds or one big bed? two seperate leashes or the one that divides but is really one? Champ is now left out the crate since he is potty trained but Belle isn't. Don't think it would be nice to leave one in and the other out so thinking of crating Champ again when left home alone….do you think this will be bad for him? He just started to be left out 1 month
Uh…I would have separate everything for now...ya know how two year old humans don't like to share? Basenjis are like that when they first get to know each other too....good luck....
I don't think you need to worry about crating one and not the other......do whatever seems to work best when you get Belle home.

We went to the basenji meeting and it was great. About 10 Basenji's there. I have some pics and video. Hope to post them soon.

How exciting! I was thinking you were leaning toward the younger one. Yep - puppy potty training 101 is in the forecast for you. Stock up on the paper towel and Nature's Miracle. It will all work out - paws crossed - you've come a long way with Champ. Your training mode should kick right back in gear with your little Belle. btw - cute name.

Take your new basenji to a gentle basic obedience class…you will probably NOT pass...so don't expect that. LOL...just plan on having fun with your new Belle and helping you to bond with her.

I had someone once tell me that their basenji did in 3 years what a typical Golden would do in 8 weeks. LOL

Or longer…but we do have some wonderful folks who have been able to get b's to do things I never thought they would.
Brenda Phillips and Judy Lange in Wa state have b's who do obedience and Rally and they just ROCK.
Its a joy to watch them.
Its not easy, and it take a great sense of humor...but oh, when it work..joy! -

Really? My dogs have always been the class stars! Each dog has gone thru puppy kindergarten and basic manners. The only thing they don't do as well in real is life recalls (did great in class, though).
Well, and counter surfing, as they learned it from each other…and are randomly rewarded handsomly (i.e. left over chicken nuggets, or empty ice cream container :rolleyes: ) But I know plenty of Goldens that counter surf too :)

I saw one gal, working with her basenji in rally, get down on the ground to try to get the dog to lay down on the grass.
She just went down and the b looked at her like she was CRAZY!
We all gave her a great round of clapping when she left the ring.
B's got to love them!
