    And something else to consider - is your mom up to date with the latest training methods? Training has changed a LOT in the last 10 years or so. I'm always trying to get more info on training. I've put over 20 titles on one basenji and I'm still trying desparately to learn new/better ways of doing things for my 2 year old.

    @cuttiepie732:

    I sent them an email thanks. I am not comfortable with sending check through mail, so I asked if there was another way of paying.

    The Basenji Club of Southern Wisconsin has a book too. You can get it on their website and pay with Paypal if you are more comfortable with that. Similarly, I think it was developed with the help of people long-familiar with basenjis. I have not read the one that Sharron is recommending so I can't compare the two but the topics of discusion are similar. Go to online shopping to pay for it versus filling out the form. http://www.bcosw.org/

    In my opinion I would bring the pup to class . I have always said i regret not taken phoenix in when i got him {9mths} I did go to puppy class with Denver my r+w and it made a BIG, HUGE difference. Not to mention ur getting a Tri . I say instead of TRI standing for three colors {what it really means in basenji owners is .. TRY NOT TO LOSS UR MIND } LOL

    Basenji's don't steal they Borrow ..![](images/smilies/biggrin.png "Big Grin")

    Haha that's funny. I am going to get the books, and my mom is up to date w training… I saw petsmart has training, and my friend did it and it worked out well. Also the humane society by me doesnt start until late march. that seems too late...

    Interesting thing about TRI's… ggg... I think the bitches are far more "tri-ing" then the boys... or maybe they are just smarter.... I always tell people that the "Girls have an agenda and the Boys don't have a clue"..... and that goes for all colors....

    So basically I'm in for some 'fun' with a tri, and him being a boy? Lol

    I perused through the BCOSW site. If you click "breeders" you'll see many have websites. There is a wealth of info in them.

    This one - http://www.arendahlbasenjis.com/basenjis.html has some critical information about safety - all very important points. Scrolling down, there are sights about Basenji health.

    All good reading material for planning cuttipie732. It's fantastic that you're doing your homework - bringing home the puppy will be the final exam. Good luck!

    Thank you very much for the info. I will definitely look into it. Also thank you for the compliment. I don't mind it, it's only more homework! Since I am a college student. lol

    It is all the way on the bottom, I was looking to buy it myself and found it below all of the membership information, it was the last thing you could purchase.

    If you don't mind my asking (and absolutely no offense meant) - why is your mom so hot on doing the training (whether she does it herself or she takes the pup to class)? You've done a lot of homework on the bred but how informed is your mother about basenjis?

    It's been my humble experience that the person doing the training/socialization with the dog (whatever breed) forms a bond with that dog. Are you living at home and so your mom wants to have control of the situation when you're not around? If this is your dog, you need to have the primary bond with it.

    We took Dash to Animal Care Unlimited for puppy socialization. It was inexpensive and worth it! Personally, I think the puppy socializtion classes are THE MOST important class you can take you dog to. Not to mention you get to see so many other pups. Probably not B's in this are though. You are always welcome to bring the pup over to our house for play time. Our Dash loves friends. We are on the north end of Columbus. are you far? You can PM me privately if you are interested.

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    We have one of those spray heads on our shower that you can take off and use by hand. I get the water nice and warm, and even though Samantha isn't excited to jump in the tub, she's so good to just stand there and relax while I lather her up with doggie shampoo and rinse her off. I used to have to wrestle with my other B's to get them clean! I guess the old German saying: "All good things come in threes" is really true!

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!

    Yes I agree Pat, Fort Funston could get very crowded and dangerous for smaller dogs as packs of bigger dogs playing could cause injury. My 2 Basenjis were very good and stayed pretty close to me and got used to the crowds. The only problem I had there was with this lady who had an older Tri color female Basenji. It would bite my blk/wht, Nika who was 1-1/2 on the butt. A few times of that and I stayed way away from her. The problem is Nika was a very playful girl and never did anything like that. A few times of getting nipped on the butt started her doing it to other dogs and Basenjis. A Basenji would want to play and Nika would chase and give a nip and the the other dog would get mad and a fight would occur. Nobody would ever get hurt thankfully. It was rare that it would happen as I took them there for 9 years, mostly on the weekend without problem. We had a lot of fun and people loved the Basenjis! Ringo, the red/wht was a very entertaining clown when we'd go down to the beach.

    Hi there. At the moment I have a little girl. I'm considering getting her a brother or sister. There's no doubt I would go for another Basenji. Problem is, I don't want a new dog to teach her bad habits. My girl doesn' t know she can jump the back fence. She doesn't dig holes in the back lawn, only in the garden beds, which I 'm pretty sure she's running out of room to bury her treats. And she can be pretty smart when she wants to. Do I risk bringing a puppy into the family and my girl picking up bad puppy habits?
