I'm new…almost

    I want to formally introduce myself and say hello, my name is Wayne. I have already posted a thread about aggressive behavior in my 13 year old male toward a 15 week old male.

    My partner and I have had two of the best Basenji dogs. They did not chew, were house broken when they came from the breeders and were very easy to live with. The female was 13 and a half and passed away three weeks ago of a kidney disease :(. The male is 6 months younger and for the most part a real sweet heart. He has never shown aggression to any human and is very obedient, but does have issues with other dogs and recently with our new puppy.

    We are interested in coursing and agility routines and hope to become active in those sports.

    To all of you that have already responded to my original thread, THANKS…

    Welcome to the forum!
    We lived in the Inland Empire area til May of last year and I attended just 2 lure coursing events out there. They were with the Inland Wilderness Hunt Club. Googling that club would be a good place to start getting involved in coursing.

    Do you know if your female had Fanconi??

    Our young boy also came from Arizona…we had a similar long car ride to go get him. I have never seen so many windmills in my life as there were on that drive!

    @mauigirl:

    Welcome to the forum!

    Do you know if your female had Fanconi??

    Thanks for the information. Skylar was her name and she did not have fanconi. We do not know what caused the infection, but she lived for three and one half years after her diagnosis. The vet originally stated about 6 months, but we treated her with a blood pressure medication, 81mg asprin and later on malox. She was active and spry right up to the last 3 - 4 weeks. We do as everyone should, check our dogs with the strip test.

    Also thanks for the welcome…:)

    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    @SethS Hi & Welcome Seth! Your new girl is gorgeous!! I just love the red & whites and the brindle & whites! My first girl, Darla was red & white so that color really tugs hard at my heart. My second, Dorie was brindle & white & now, brindles tug pretty hard at my heart too but, I know I can't have the darker brindle....too much like my Dorie. I'm not saying I'd get another red/white just because of the color.....there would have to be more than the color! But your new girl is really gorgeous!! I'm sorry about your other one & I'm sure that you look to see if the gate is closed now. It's sad that we learn a lesson like that but I bet you don't have that accident again! Congrats on your new sweetheart!!

    @youngandtired: Hi! Welcome to the Basenji Forum, this is a great place for chatting about our furbabies, and getting information. So, your baby is 4, please tell me that they will stop chewing, and surfing the tables. My Sahara, would be just great if she didn't do this. I love her just the same, but I have lost things I can't get back that she has chewed. My Basenjis right now range in age from 12 1/2 to 15 3/4…. :p They still surf, however they have pretty much stopped chewing... :D But that is just cause they are old.... and the teeth are not as great!
