    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!

    And one of my puppy owners (now she is an adult…) has done Rally and OB with great success, putting a RN and CD on her girl.. and yes, without a doubt...a sense of humor is needed

    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!

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    We use ones from Rukka. Not sure if they’re available everywhere but they are they best ones we have tried (others always fell off, especially in deep snow). I think having two Velcro closures on each sock has been key. I also prefer the soft shell ones as our B seems to accept them more and they don’t twist as much as the ones with a hard sole. Here are the ones I am referring to: https://rukkapets.com/paw-wear/thermal-shoes-black

    I started off crating Sahara when she was younger, when I first got her. The first week she was crated she found a way to get the thing opened, and I came home to lots of accidents on my carpet. But it wasn't her fault, so I cleaned up and added something to the crate to make it Basenji proof. She was crated until she was about 5-6 mos. old. I then got a doggie door, and made sure she was totally housebroken and let her stay out why I was gone. I keep her in the den/kitchen, and close the door to the rest of the house. She has been so good, nothing major yet(hope I'am not jinking myself, haha). Of course I make sure there is nothing she can get into while I am gone, I move things I think might be tempting, you know, Basenji proof your house. She is now almost 10mos. old and she loves not being crated, I put her in the crate the other day and she whined for the longest time. She needed a time out, she was being aggressive with my cat who is 17 yrs. old. I keep the crate in my guest room just in case I need it, time outs are good from time to time. So be patient with potty training and crating and things will improve, HONEST!!!!!!
