Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.
Hello

I'm Terry, the female half of Illusion Basenjis. My husband is Bob. We have owned Basenjis for nearly 15 years (the age of our oldest Basenji, Dino) and currently own 8. We have all 4 colors.
We enjoy showing our own Basenjis in conformation, have done a little lure coursing, and plan on doing some obedience if we can.
We live in San Diego, but are planning to move to Houston area when we retire in about 3 years.
Looking forward to lively and interesting discussions!(Hi Denice!)
