Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.
Hello to All

My name is Janice, and I have been actively showing Dobermans since the mid 70's. I have finished my share of dogs, have been active in obedience, match show judging, and of course, comformaton showing. I have felt that the exhibitors in the Doberman circle, are not friendly, nor do they support each other when someone wins..I have owned a wonderful Basenji for about 4 years, and think he is the coolest most loyal dog I have ever owned.
I just aquired my first show puppy, Zaharah, from an East Coast breeder, who has been friendly, supportive, and just a wonderful woman, Debbie Hauri. This little puppy bitch, is flashy, loving, so smart, and friendly. She fits my household like a glove, and rules the roost in my heart, as well as my other Basenji, my show Doberman, and my pet minpin. Everyone is a happy camper.. I just wanted to introduce myself to all of you, and hope to be in the show ring by late March with this wonderful little blessing.. -

Tahnk you for the warm responses to my introduction. My two Basenjis are , Dale a 4 yr old red and white, out of Bud Light King, who I had to neuter due to my male Doberman not accepting another male into the hoousehold, shame, he is georgeous.. I have not named my little bitch, who I got from Debi Hauri, who is brindle and white,, a puppy to die for!!!! I call her Zaharah, but haven't thought of a registered name yet .. I will post pictures as soon as I get some taken..
watch for her in early April on the East Coast.. Janice -
Welcome! Frankly we got and finished our bitch (she is now 7) and I found all the senji people helpful and kind. Sure, you want your own dog to win, but none of the nastiness that is so sadly common among Rottie people.

Hi Janice! Look forward to seeing pictures of your pack!

I am so thrilled by everyone being so nice to me.. I have been an obedience judge at match shows since the 80's, and the funniest breeds to watch, always had my compassion and humor, but never saw a Basenji dare I try with Dale? I would love to try lure coursing with him HE actually comes when I call him… all right not Every time but at least 85% of the time.. I feel that Basenjis not only look so sweet, act so funny, move so royally, and love so hard, think on their own, but I could only wish to find a man who was the same....smiles Janice Rivendell Farms
