Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg
Hi, anyone else from Iowa with a basenji?
-
I just purchased my basenji puppy, Genesis, 3 weeks ago. He is such a great puppy. I am so thrilled with how well behaved he is and how fun he is to have around!

Welcome (from Minnesota) to our pack! Tell us more about your pup.
If this is not your first beastie be prepared for an interesting ride -
I have a basenji mix at home! Black and white, but this is my first pure breed basenji. He is such a doll. I love him so much. The mix is 13 years old. I have pictures at home, but I am at work now and have not uploaded them to my computer. He is brindle, a sweet heart!
