    Hi All!

    I have enjoyed the threads on the forum for the last few months. My husband & I live with our basenji's in Orange County California (I have 5). These dogs are a real hoot! We have learned to be pack leader's with are gang and spent coutless hours training. Basenji's are fun dogs to watch and be a part of their lives. My dogs like to go camping & fishing with us too!

    One funny thing I was wondering: All my dogs feet smell like corn nuts or dorito's chips! I was wondering if anyone else noticed that with their basenji's feet?

    I've read that a lot on this forum – usually it's fritos. I don't think my dogs' feet smell like fritos, but their bedding does. I have to wash it frequently cuz I can't stand the smell!

    Welcome to the forum. I've never noticed my dogs feet (and I don't intend to start smelling them now :) ) Pictures when you get a chance – we're addicted to pictures.

    I notice the smell most strongly when Zip is real sleepy, like just waking up. And I hadn't noticed the smell coming from just her toes, I smell it on her coat as well.

    Welcome, and so glad to see you respect a dog enough to do some research before getting one. I LOVE that attitude! Stick around - there is tons of great info here and everyone cares about the breed SO much! :)

    Great to have you and Gizzmo here with us. I can't wait to see some pictures! Regarding potty/pee training, do you have a command word to use to let Gizzmo know it's his pee time? We use 'hurry hurry'. Just remember that he'll need to pee after sleeping, eating and play times. In a thread awhile back, it was said that a dog at 5 months 'should' be able to hold their pee for 6 hours. The rule for that is taking their age and adding 1, hence Gizzmo could hold for 6 hours. At 5 months, I was setting the alarm for around 5:30 in the morning to get up and let Kipawa out. Eventually he was the one that let me know that he didn't want to be woken at 5:30 a.m. So, I decided to trust him, and he didn't let me down. No accidents. Gizzmo will be there in no time. Time flies when you have a basenji! :)
