    What caused the fight if I can ask? food, attention, or they just looked at each other and said, "why are you here"? There is often a "squabble" or 2 with new dogs..just learning their place. Its helpful to know if you can see what triggers it..

    :) :) :) Bumping this because BRAT NEEDS MONEY badly.. please folks, buy a calendar, buy one for friends for presents! Help support the rescue.:) :) :) @sharronhurlbut: Each year, BRAT sponsors a calendar photo contest. BRAT volunteers and adopters submit photos of their basenjis and the BRAT family then votes for their favorites. The winning photos are featured on a calendar which we sell to raise money to help rescue basenjis. Many of the dogs we rescue are featured on this calendar. This year, we had more than 400 entries. The voting for the 2007 calendar has just concluded and I am pleased to report that you can view the top fifty entries on our website at: http://www.basenjirescue.org/CalendarContest/default.asp After seeing these photos, we hope that you will order one of our calendars. The calendars are on glossy paper and are professionally printed. Jacque Holdaway has designed the calendar for the past few years and does an outstanding job–-we guarantee that you won't be disappointed. BRAT calendars sent to domestic addresses cost only $23.00, including shipping. Payment may be made by check or money order payable to BRAT, Inc. There is no limit on the number of calendars you may order. Buy a few and give to your friends and relatives! We will begin shipping calendars in October. We are only printing 750 calendars and when they are sold out we won't be able to get any more---so please order early to be sure you can get one. The calendar project is our biggest fundraiser of the year. All of the net proceeds from the project go directly to the dogs-no one in BRAT receives any salary or other compensation. Last year, we were able to pay vet bills for more than 40 dogs just from the money we made selling calendars. The order form is found at: http://www.basenjirescue.org/CalendarContest/calendarorder.asp Thank you for your continuing support!

    Its nice to be able to show rescue does try to reunite folks and their dogs. Most of us do try very, very hard to contact breeders, owners, anyone we can who can help us track down the former owners. Its sad that in some rescue areas, the breeders and rescue DON'T work together for the dogs. I am so very lucky. We have a great basenji breed club up in the PNW. They are smart, caring folks who only produce the dogs they are sure they have good homes for. I have only had one person in my area not take a dog back, or fail to offer to help with funds when rescue rehomes their dog. So, its a win/win for the basenjis in my area. Until we have no basenjis to rehome, I can only hope the rescue groups in other areas work to win the breeders over to helping the dogs. Course, some folks your not going to like, or be able to work with, but still, when we keep in mind its all for the dogs… Hope you all have a wonderful sun with your families and pets.
