As tanza has stated. the pups ears are not a worry, about 12 weeks they should start to settle down, when they have a full set of needles for teeth. And speaking about needles, keep them quarantined, (eg no dog parks, very local walks, etc), so that his mother's immunisations would still be effective through her milk. I await until their adult shots before releasing pups, then I know that they have at least the best start in life.
Another item, buy a Dremel rotary tool, and start grinding their nails. The earlier you do it, then they get used to being trimmed, and the noise. A little bit at first, do not get down to the quick. It is done with the fine emery paper one, try on your own. It can get hot, NOT RECOMMENDED, so go to another nail if it is getting to warm.
Keep learning and asking questions - no question is too silly or too hard, but you should not be asking the same question repeatedly. Have fun with your new found friend, and treat her like one of your human kids, about 2 - 4 yo. Best of luck.
Basenjis on CBS Early Show?
-
I just got an email from a Yahoo group I joined saying that tomorrow somone will be on CBS's Early Show with a basenji. I guess its a segment on rare dogs…I am not sure if its true or not, but I am going to DVR it, its worth a shot
Just thought I'd let you all know! -
Here's the website:

The upper right saws "Unique new canine breeds" under "Kyra Sedgwick"
New?!? Ummmm….

Yeah I see that…I think it is tomorrow though, the email I got actually originally said today, then I got another saying that it was tomorrow instead. I actually DVR'd it today too to watch the Big Brother segment, but already erased it before I knew about this, so I can't check. I will check it out tomorrow, though. I have no idea what the segment will be like, I guess we will see tomorrow!

It say Tuesday which is the same info I got from another list.
-
Yup. Our DVR is set to record it also. Should be interesting…

But today is Tuesday? It would have been this morning?

Or tomorrow it won't be the right show at all. At least I'll be able to fast forward
I would think that if the show happened already there would be more info about it on the website…. -

Who is Karen Hutchinson???
-
I just watched this segment. The only breeds shown were a Basenji, 2 hairless Chinese Cresteds, 2 Otterhounds, and a PBGV and each breed only got a couple minutes air time. The Basenji was a beautiful red but neither the name of the handler nor dog was mentioned on air. Anyone know who the dog was?
-
I just watched it, and fast forwarded a whole hour of the show to get there. What a face on that red!
-
That was definitely Karen Hutchinson of Karnak Basenjis. She's a great lady.
