Eldorado does litter box train and they were always very successful at it when I visited..I know they line the outside of the box with newspaper too..so I would make sure to do that also so she's as familiar with the process as she can be. I would suggest if you can't get her to start using it for pooping soon to just get her a coat and start outside. The longer she goes without pooping where you want her to the harder it'll be when you need to change it. Bad habits develop fast. I wish I started Oakley outside right away versus litter training. He always would pee in it but he wouldn't poop in it. He got very used to pooping next to the box on the kitchen floor and to this day prefers going on hard surfaces. I know it's hard to imagine potty training outside in this weather but you might be better off in the long run.
I'm not against the litter box, I also have an eldorado pup; I just know the entire process would've been easier and more beneficial to is both if I braved the weather and did it in the first plAce
Newness!

New isn't a bad thing right? heh, I'm new here but not new to owning Basenjis. My name is Hannah, I've owned 2 Basenji in the past, my oldest was a 15yo red and white male named Demax Thunderbolt-Bandit and he passed away on St. Patricks day of this year. Now I have an absolutely GORGEOUS 9mo tri color female named RacecaR's Mali-Dandra (known more lovingly as "mali").I learned a lot about Basenjis when we had Bandit, mostly because he became very ill in his old age. When Bandit died we looked around for another breed. But the more we looked at other breeds the more we knew how much we wanted another Basenji to own us… oops... I mean... to own another Basenji :p

Hannah-I'm so sorry for your loss of Bandit. This must have been terribly hard but we're comforted that he lived a long life & I'm sure it was a good one
And welcome to MALI sounds like a doll

Weclome! I love your avatar…this is lots of fun and very informative...
-
thanks guys… I know I'll have fun.
I just wish I knew other central Florida basenji owners....
-
i think susan schroeder is in central florida, she shows and breeds her basenjis. i think she even currently has one of the fastest b's in the country. (swamp something?)
-
honestly? I haven't heard anything about it… but word travles slow in polk county I guess... I really want Mali to interact with other Basenjis... but as far as I know there are no basenji clubs or anything near me...
-
Hi Hannah! Welcome to our little bit of heaven…. I have benefited from this forum... some of these folks really know the breed. I hope you enjoy our little community and post some pics soon.

thanks bunches! I actually have posted some pictures in the picture section… if you want to see them just look for the topic with "Mali" in the name ^_^
