Basenjis do not like surprises.
Very true!
I am ready to get rid of my Basenji

lady disaster… an update please? I'm dying to know what happened to your pup and the household!

Even though this is coming late maybe it can help somebody so just thought I'd mention that we had trouble keeping Manning in a wire crate. He could unlock the bottom lock and squeeze through the crate door by pushing it open with his body. We ended up having to literally lock him in the crate with a lock when we left. Instead of a real lock we usually used the metal part of the leash that you attach to the collar. I was afraid that he would get hung and hurt himself otherwise. I hate to say it but I actually jailed Manning lock and key.

Ah the things we do to keep our kids safe. No worries Achandl2… we locked Rocky in the cage with the double snaps we'd use for the horse buckets to keep our daughter out of the kennel and give Rocky some peace. grin
It's all good.

Where did you get your basenji from?
Have you tried to take your b to some gentle basic obedience?
Our breed is very smart..tho you might not think so, they like to stay busy and will "make" work for themselves if your not helping them get rid of the energy they have. -
I don't by any means want u to take this the wrong way But maybe the Basenji breed is just not for u and ur lifestyle my sister has a akita mix and a husky but she can't take more then 10mins with my B she goes crazy and doesn't understand how we deal with them Some people are just not basenji people it's not a bad thing but maybe u would be better off with a "easier" dog that isn't as stuborn . she sounds like she is having alot of issues that will require some serious patients but if u do decide to "rehome' her please make sure u contact BRAT.

I don't think this person is still on the Forum?… at least there has not been any posts in over what, a month?

She hasn't posted since Nov 2006 so I would venture to guess she gave up on the dog.
