Adding 2nd B question

Basenji Talk
  • DiegosMomD

    we are bringing home our 2nd B very soon, and i have a question. Diego is not crated when we leave, and the new B has a fear of crates(and isn't destructive). Her previous owner used crates as punishment. If I leave the new B in a seperate room with the door closed, I have a good feeling diego will do anything he can(chew, scrape) to get into the room. So even if they get along when I am around, how do I know if I can leave them together when I'm gone?? Should I leave them together?? :confused:

    Do you leave your dog with full run of the house, or just put him in one room?
    I would take a long weekend.
    Get the dogs together, and see how they are.
    Depending on the intro and the way they react to things/each other, that will let you know if you can leave them together.
    Larger areas are better than too small, so they don't get cramped or have to feel like they are guarding a area…
    Good luck.

    I too would take a long weekend and see how they act with each other.. can be that they would be find together… and you don't know what will happen alone together... but chances are very good, if they are fine when you are there.. they will be more then fine when you are gone... it is usually the "human" that brings out problems... as in showing off.. or claiming the human as their own...

    sharron- Diego gets full run of the house for the most part, but all doors shut so can't get into bedrooms/bathrooms. He doesnt do good when you put him in just one room, he tries to get out.. when we bring her home i'm gonna stay home with them for about 3 or 4 days, so i should get a good idea how they are together.. thanks for the help!

    @Kananga: Sounds like a vet worth going to… :D Yes, when they show off a Basenji like that!!! Most people have never even heard of one….from my experience anyway...

    hi, i have a 3 yr old. basenji and we just got a kitten 3 weeks ago and it was hard at first. he wanted to play with it ruff!. he still does but not soo hard. i used this stuff called apple spray and rubbed it on the kitten for about 4 days. and he started to get more relaxed with the kitten. he's doing better now.

    @saralars: This is off the subject of crate escape… I was told growing up that turkey and chicken bones were very dangerous for dogs. Are Basenjis different in this way too? Or am I missing something... Raw, uncooked bones are fine for any dog, not just Basenjis… it is "cooked" bones that are the problems

    @Jylly18: THanks everyone for the advice, she ended up being fine, I fed her this morning and no throw-up when we got home :) I was just worried cause she has never done it more than once before. Its funny about how you said you put her over the toilet, my husband managed to hold her over the garbage when she threw up, so she looked ridiculous but at least it made no mess! HaHaHa! That conjures up a picture!

    They are called Diastix. Some drug stores still carry them, but many have to special order them. You can find them online though.

    On tv this morning they showed some dogs that were to be adopted at Petsmart from the Humane Society. One of them they said was a basenji/terrier mix. That dog was huge and he didn't look anything like a basenji to me. No batwing ears but the tail was curled.
