  • What a cutie!!! I think we need more pics!
    And the same questions as Jenn.. Why not a B-puppy?

  • What a cutie. Looks like they are off to a great start as friends.

  • Welcome Evie!! Be sure to keep us posted on what it's like to be a 'senji sister!!

    Momof…what a cutie you got. How did she pick you???

  • Well, to answer why not another B…. I talked to the breeder I wanted originally and she was not testing for Fanconi on all FOUR (2 males 2 females) of her dogs. I was really upset. I also tried to contact another breeder in MO and all of their baby B's are taken. I contacted BRAT and they had a Basenji available in Michigan and I really don't have the time for travel other than to work and vacation and won't fly a pup.

    I went to get Mya a birthday gift for her first birthday. A friend of mine said she had BRAT puppies. I automatically thought B Rescue. She meant BRAT...part Boston Terrier part Rat Terrier...BRAT. I took her to our vet and she said that we couldn't have picked two better breeds. Evie will escape respiratory problems that Boston's have because she has a Rat nose (which is longer). Our vet also said that little miss Eve will most likely live to the ripe old age of 16 years and will hopefully die of old age. That was it!!! Old age won us over.

    I love my little miss Mya. I love Basenjis. But the thought of Fanconi kills me. The thought of Mya getting too spoiled to wait another year was hurting too. Mya is well socialized; however, she can really terrify other dogs just by the way her hair stands and her tail doesn't wag to greet them. This was perfect timing for us and for Mya.

    Thanks for the nice comments. When I update, I'll be sure to post videos of the pups playing.

  • They are adorable together, congratulations!:)

  • Wow, she's so teeny tiny! very cute!

  • Aww so cute! Sorry you got misled by your friend's BRAT but you at least have one!

  • Congrats on the new addition! They make quite a pair :)

  • Congrats!!! she looks so sweet….

    Thats a very cute combination... :D

  • Here's an update. I have a very close friend of 27 years. We don't talk often and don't see each other very much as we've gotten older. I sent her a picture of Evie after I got her. Unfortunately, my friend's dog (Murphy….rest his soul) had recently been killed so she wasn't really paying attention when I sent my email. She called lastnight and said she had gotten a Boston/Rat Terrier. I said that's what Eve is! She asked where I had gotten her - and she had received Evie's brother!!!! What kind of coincidence is that??

  • Meant to be, I think…:cool:

  • @bellabasenji:

    Definately meant to be!

    Wow! Definately ment to be…. Are you going to visit her brother once in a while?

    We'll definately be getting together for play dates. Mya will have to endure their terrier attitudes though. I'm sure she can handle her own!

    @weeziesmom: I have tried chew bones to curb his chewing however he tries to take weezies and they fight over them You can teach him to leave hers alone. Make them both sit for their chew; give hers first and make him stay with you when she dashes off to chew. {helps him see that she gets one/he gets one, and also gives her a head start!} Make sure he knows you have one for him also. He must sit and make eye contact with you before he is given his treat. Once they both have a chew, make them stay in different spots. Stand between them, moving your body silently to block his attempts to get to her. If necessary, tell him "no" or "leave it". It shouldn't take long for him to learn that he gets his and she gets hers. Eventually, he will just look when you hand her the treat and will sit and stare at your face until he gets his own, then he'll run to his own spot to chew his bone.

    Great looking dog in some good looking threads! I have yet to successfully get Hollie to wear clothing. I am seriously considering a raincoat and booties. Cleaning and drying her gets tiresome.
