How Pathetic is THIS?

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • JazzysMomJ

    Okay, so I haven't even convinced Darren that he EVER even wants another dog. And even if I did, it'd have to wait a couple of years until my dear Gypsy is gone {and she's awfully healthy for a 12 yr old retriever}, BUT
    I can't help myself. I see those puppy photos and well, off I go!

    I am already trying to come up with names for my new puppy! :rolleyes:
    Shhh, don't tell Darren. ;)

    ANYway, Of course, I am counting on Jumoke coming out with another great litter in a couple of years, so here's hoping Bryan doesn't retire any time soon.
    I am thinking something like Jumoke's Burgundy Storm. And we'd call her Storm. What do you think?

    I can almost imagine having another puppy now too! I think Duke would fare well with a companion equal his energy and determination. Especially before I get too old for the nonsense these young B's put you through and before I buy a new sofa! Actually, if I didn't work, I imagine it would be easier. What is his argument? It is pathetic to really really want another puppy if hubby has good reasons to not get one. I am sorry for your predicament. Pets do limit freedoms. Unless you have a good resource for pet sitters. I am fortunate to have a wonderful sister-in-law who will dog sit IF her calendar is free for us. God Bless her.:)

    Oops, Storm - I think Storm is a perfect name for a Basenji. Really!!

    silly silly. fender's name is platinum desert storm, since his daddy is storm i never considered it as a name. i like storm for a girl! as soon as sharron gets it figured out you should come to our kitsap playdate. (my "puppy" is 20 lbs, hehehe just his face looks puppy) will jazzy ever have puppies? that would be special for you to have one of hers.

    ![](images/smilies/rolleyes.png "Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)") why, yes, i have a very full life-full of little catastrophes!

    Okay, my 16 yo has a problem with my choice of Burgundy Storm for a red Basenji because they are not deep red dogs. So, we {with tongue in cheek} decided that {again, assuming I can get another Jumoke pup} Jumoke's Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire would be more appropriate. LOL:rolleyes:

    I don't know what we would name ours. Here again, IF we get the one we are hoping to, they are calling him Tsavo. I think we need to find something different. We have a Greyhound named Oreo and an Italian Greyhound named Neba.

    I guess you need to send him to myweb site to see Uncle Burner and second cousin Breaker…
    they are NO an orange-red (i.e., chestnut).. they are a much deeper and darker red... more mahogany than chestnut...
    I have a number of chestnut reds.. but most of my dogs are far darker than the average 'red' basenji....

    I always loved the name of that Simba kid, Bakari's Burgundy Blitz.. just screams a nice deep dark red!

    Okay, so… Jumoke's Burgundy Storm for the little girl puppy dh won't let me have, and I've been leaning toward Jumoke's Satchmo, King of Jazz for the little boy my dh won't let me have. LOL. Thought Satchmo would go well with Jazzy {you know, Louis Armstrong?}

    Either way, I'd have Jazzy and Storm, or Jazz and Satchmo. LOL In reality, I get neither, but a girl can dream. ;-)

    Anyway, I met both puppies that I can't have last weekend at the show.
    I took pictures of my kids with them, and dh agreed they're adorable, but he's sure they're more adorable in BRYAN'S backyard. sigh.
    One day. . . . .

    People who purchased a pup from our last litter came up with a suiteble name for their dog. NIMBUS.
    Nimbus means in Dutch 2 different things.

    • The circle around the head of an angel and
    • some kind of thunder cloud
      What could be more appropriate for a Basenji?
      An angel when he's asleep and a thunder cloud when awake.

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    Integrating Basenji with house cats

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    @zande - You bet! We must be showing our ages! Or Been There/Done That! Very few times we disagree, but when we do we respect the others point of view!

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !

    Potty Training Difficulty - 12-15 mo old Basenji

    @seattlebasenji said in Potty Training Difficulty - 12-15 mo old Basenji: *** Any ideas about how I can effectively potty train him? *** You mention that you take your dog to the same area when you take him out to 'toilet', I suppose thinking that he'll associate that spot as his bathroom(?). But I think you would be more successful if you took your dog out for long walks. Your dog needs exercise anyway, and movement begets movement (if you know what I mean). Besides, walking is a very social activity for dogs. They walk in packs and when you walk with your dog, you become part of their pack. Some people like two half hour walks each day. Personally, I try to get one really long walk in every day (weather permitting), typically 3 miles or 90 minutes. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. (I got bored walking the same route. Now we go different places (local dog parks, woods, and such) and explore new routes. Mix it up a little. The walk provides time for the two of you to bond. It's an opportunity for you to reinforce training, provide encouragement (and praise). And it allows your dog to eliminate (or toilet), naturally, without pressure.
