  • thanks for your help and no she was not going to refund the Money. I just don't trust her now. I am going to keep her or find someone on my own to take her and care for her the correct way. I think she is happy - she just does not get to run much and she loves to run and play. Thanks again for your help.

    You really need to look into Fanconi testing, it is very important for your peace of mind. Also learning about Basenji health concerns.

    And if the need comes up that you do need to place her, contact Basenji Rescue (BRAT).. that is what they do….

  • I second Pat on Fanconi Testing.

    I also second Pat please call (BRAT) if you just have to give her up.

    I do not always agree or like what Pat has to say but in this case I more than agree.

  • Pat and Rita Jean are right, BRAT does do a wonderfuf job finding forever homes for b's who need it.

  • I have emailed and am talking with LIZ from BRAT she is going to find the right home. I am going to miss her - but I know it's best to give her to someone with more time. She DESRIVES that much. She a great girl and i love her so much, but I know she will be better off with someone who can not only give her exercise but also enough to keep her mind busy and happy since they are so smart. they need more then most puppies.

    thanks for everyones help.

  • Although I know this was a very difficult decision, I sooo respect you for doing the right thing for your dog. Virtual hugs to you:).

  • I feel for you, making that decision was not easy, but you can rest assured she will find a family that will care for her just as much as you do.

    And I totally agree, kudos to you….

  • thanks guys - and thanks for the hug. I sure need it.

  • I hope Koda finds a new home soon and you have peace of mind.

  • Bless your heart for caring more about the dogs feeling then your own.
    Hugs, hugs, hugs.
    You are so doing the right thing.

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    I wouldn't recommend getting a basenji until you've organized your new schedule with baby. basenjis are wonderful dogs, but require a lot of attention and stimulation. If you can't provide that, he could become a frustrated dog and cause mischeif. I've also read that they aren't the best with children. I haven't had the best experience with my basenji and daughter. It has a lot to do with the fact that we can't give him sufficient attention and exercise like he needs. he also hasn't adjusted to my daughter's presence either. that may not be a problem for you because you're having baby first then dog. they say its always a plus because it allows the child to establish a dominence over the dog, since child was there first. i don't want to be a sour apple, but i just want to let families with children know that it can be difficult and dangerous if proper care isn't given. its also unfair to the precious breed if they cant have the active life they need and crave.
