I am new to Virginia, but not B's. My 11 yr old girl is the love of my life. In training I used lots of tools trying to out smart her. The funniest one was the singing bass. She would go potty in my all white dining room. No matter how I tried I couldn't stop her. I was a stay at home Mom too. I finally set up a singing bass on the floor. I set it on motion detection. When she would go there it would start singing a startle her….She could not figure it out. She quit doing it immediatly and also alerted me...I still laugh to this good day! I also put her leash on my belt for at least 30 minutes a day. She would go where I went. So now no matter where I go in the house, there she is. Each month I was fortunate to go to new Basenji puppy parties. There she could run with about 20+ B puppy's. Even a small dog park would have worked. I took her everywhere with me. I took food from her. So she would know I was the pack leader. I ate first. I would move her when sleeping and gently put her back. I just can't say enough about pack rules. I know other dog owners thought I was nuts. 11 years later I still am having to remind her daily who the real boss is. She is very well behaved and NEVER off her leash. I learned early on, no matter what. She will take off like a rocket if something gets her attention. One time it was a blowing leaf. That inclination will always be a part of the breed. I recommend crate training. I didn't let her sleep with me for quite some time. I learned that short consistant commands are clearer. A shaker can made of aluminum with pennies in it was better than my voice. They will use a short sided box with cedar shavings in it instead of the inside floor. when little. Mine loves raw veggies in the afternoon, Once older. I have used dry food for a long time. She rolls over, shakes, down stay, stand, off, in your chair (for car rides). All for the love of a treat. She enjoyed lure coursing. She enjoyed being shown. She loves my best friends yorkies but no other small dogs. You'll have so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What great companions they make......Yea! and Good Luck from one who is still trying to outsmart her!

Welcome, Alex! Privet! Dobro pozhalovatj na forum!
If you need help with translation, just let me know.
I used to live in Russia for 28 years of my life. I know Russian very well, just don't have keyboard to type and hate typing in Russian using English letters. But anyway, I'm new to forum myself and new to Basenjis, but certainly not new to dogs show world.
You have beautiful babies! Love pics! -

The world is small! And where do you live in Russia? Thank you for offering assistance.
While using an electronic translator, but if you want an accurate translation - will return.Красивых фото у меня много! Приятно познакомиться!!!

Those electronic translators are usually pretty inaccurate, unfortunately. They are fine with basic every day language, but not with specific terms! But anyway, they are still useful in some cases.
I used to live in Perm, my parents are still there but they visit us and stay with us for a few months every year.
I have a friend here in CT, USA who is a judge (chinese shar pei) and she travels to Russia along with some other countries a lot. They would love to invite Russian breeders to USA but getting visas is problematic, not to mention expensive. -

Wow, amazing costumes, your wife is very talented! Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the forum. Your dogs are beautiful and it looks like your cat let them know when they were young that she is the boss. And it looks like they got the message! The costumes are really fantastic.
Kozlovasv…you snuck in a very short introduction. You must write a longer message and introduce yourself and your dogs to us.
Don't worry about your English. I am very certain that your English is better than our Russian.
