Hello everyone!

Basenji Puppy Pen
  • Welcome to the forum and congratulations on getting your pup!

  • Wow, Greece!!! It never ceases to amaze me how many people on here are from so many places across the world! I love hearing from all of them and love having so many on the forums, WELCOME! I am a first time dog owner also, my husband chose Bella for me for my birthday… and, yes, she is a challenging breed. But I wouldn't trade her for the world, I love her so. It has helped a lot to be here on the forums and learn about this wonderful, quirky, beautiful breed and it's distinct personality. Feel free to ask questions and post pictures of your baby (hint, hint).:D

  • Welcome…and congrats on the new addition! Looking forward to hearing (and seeing pictures?) from you! This site is a lot of fun too!

  • Welcome to the forum, Mutabaruga has beautiful basenjis. Their J-litter was a very nice litter. I don't have a basenji yet, but I have looked very much at Mutabaruga Basenjis.

    Mr Eko is very cute!! Can't wait for more pics of him

  • Welcome to the forum, you will enjoy it here and make lots of friends.
    It doesn't matter that you have never had a Dog before because Basenjis are certainly not like other Dogs.
    They are wonderful creatures, can be naughty and a challenge but if you fall under their spell you will want more, lol.

    @eeeefarm said in Wet weather exercise: @elbrant said in Wet weather exercise: I wish I could take the credit for Doodle. But she was trained and taught before I brought her home. If she is still reliable you can take credit for that. So many times a well trained animal goes to a new home and within months the good manners and training evaporates. Seen it many, many times with horses, not quite so often with dogs but they don't tend to change hands so often. Unfortunately people often reinforce bad behaviour without being aware of what they are doing, and then complain because the "stupid" animal has developed bad habits! I concur. If it isn't maintained, then behaviors erode.

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    @zande - You bet! We must be showing our ages! Or Been There/Done That! Very few times we disagree, but when we do we respect the others point of view!

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.
  • Thank-you everyone for all the good advice!

    Oh and by the Way, that is not just what the entry Fee is used for… Superintendent takes almost the entire amount these days. Not much left to contribute to anything else.....
