I worried

    The daysie big sister doesn't like dry food, and she was sick when I got her it was a bit hard to feed her so now et for 5 years she eat home food

    meat rice veggetables boiled
    and olive or colza soya mais oil
    and vitamines

    So I do the same for my lovely puppy.
    The first meal she ate, the night she came, she had finished as just as I have put the plate on the floor. The poor girl her stomac was already so big and after eating it was worse, so I had to take care of that and learn her to sit before eating , and give her natural medicine ,she learned very quickly,after three days sitting to eat was ok, she is so lovely , I don't even have to say "Sit" today ,she does it.And she eat slowly and share with the big one the big one share too it's very nice to see them eat together.

    Some days ago Daysie didn't want her break fast milk egg and cereals, yesterday I called the vet he said I have to give her dry food.

    My trouble is I don't find the quality for them, Maya use to threw up dry food.
    And I m afraid dry food get them sick, I don't have good trade.

    Yesterday I called the vet and today Daysie eat her breakfast, I gave her just a bit of milk yellow egg and small fish in oil (in small can you know it?)

    I really don't know what to do with dry food I m very afraid to get them sick.

    Maya the big one is very healthy with home food. Should I just put a small bit of dry food in it?

    I disagree B A R F because of my children and more now that my puppy is very small and her sister is big ,I don't want any accident and the meat here has to be boiled, to avoid sanitary desease.

    Don't know what kinds of dry food is available in your area but maybe try mixing the dry food with her meat and vegetables will help.

    I would bet there are web sites where you can see home made dog food that would be cooked in the oven, so not raw, but still be well rounded for the basenji.

    I worry about the B A R F diet also, my concerns would be the chance of Bella getting Salmonella or E Coli…

    Yes,I also read today that E coli is the main responsable of diarrhea of children in our countries, so we just limit the risks here so meat as really to be cooked even for dogs.

    If Bella or any other dog have some intestinal trouble give them a piece of burned wood, I learned it from my Mix groenadael, when she was young I saw her eating burned wood when she had some kind of diarrhea, and I also read that it absorbs toxine or poison. I gave a very small piece of it to Daysie when she came for her stomac.

    Today I find some dry food for Daysie and her sister, they both taste one of them, Daysie and Maya eat some, but I also put some in their meal and they didn't like it both.

    So I will try this evening to leave some in plates ans see how much they 'll eat, my big one use to eat in the night.
    If they eat enough I will reduce rice in their meal .I will go on with meat and vegetables.

    So I bought some Purina bakers complete 6 weeks 24 months for Daysie
    and Maya has the same for adult dog, it's very expensive but if it's good for both of them it's good for me too.
    The trouble is that we don't always find the same.

    @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.

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !

    @seattlebasenji said in Potty Training Difficulty - 12-15 mo old Basenji: *** Any ideas about how I can effectively potty train him? *** You mention that you take your dog to the same area when you take him out to 'toilet', I suppose thinking that he'll associate that spot as his bathroom(?). But I think you would be more successful if you took your dog out for long walks. Your dog needs exercise anyway, and movement begets movement (if you know what I mean). Besides, walking is a very social activity for dogs. They walk in packs and when you walk with your dog, you become part of their pack. Some people like two half hour walks each day. Personally, I try to get one really long walk in every day (weather permitting), typically 3 miles or 90 minutes. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. (I got bored walking the same route. Now we go different places (local dog parks, woods, and such) and explore new routes. Mix it up a little. The walk provides time for the two of you to bond. It's an opportunity for you to reinforce training, provide encouragement (and praise). And it allows your dog to eliminate (or toilet), naturally, without pressure.
