    see, it's kind of like you just found a bunch of family that you didn't know about. Congrats on your new babies. Usually people wait a little before they realize they "need" a second, a third . . . you need to post some pics for those of us who did not get a puppy this year.

    Looks like you will have your hands full! The video made me chuckle, especially how quickly it happened and how the pup looked excited to make it to the sofa!

    Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand. Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable. Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.

    @BasenjiDiva: Sorry if this sounds dumb but when you talk about tattooing your dogs, are you talking about actual tattoos or do you just keep marking them yourselves. And…if they are actually tattooed, who does it? The vet? Pat They are real tattoos and usually done by a tattoo artist…. there are some dog people that have gotten really good at it and will have clinics at shows. The one we had here in No. California retired... she was really good, made them nice and small... some vets to it, but not many anymore and some I have seen are horrible... Mine are on the skin just above the hind leg.. and it would take maybe 10mins tops.... 90% of the dogs didn't mind either and the worst part was putting them on their backs... not the tattoo itself

    @jys1011: Hi everyone! We just got two wonderful basenjis from El Dorado Basenji breeders in Mass. Our lil boy is C3PO is 3 yrs old & our lil girl is Topaz is 2 yrs old. They're too adorable for words. I've only had them about 3 weeks but already I adore them dearly. We're trying to adjust them to their new home since they are adults but we hope that we will soon be able to go on play dates & such fun basenji outings:D JYS, What are your Basenjis registered names?
