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.

I am a widower with 2 adult children and a new grandfather.
I first discovered the Basenji in 2003 when I adopted a Rescue Akita/Basenji shortly after
my first Rescue Akita Cross the Bridge.Shortly after I adopted " Tori", I became involved with Basenji Rescue and am presently
the Ontario Screener.As well, I am the National Rescue Coordinator fot the Basenji Club of Canada.
In addition to helping Basenji Rescue, I am involved with helping Ontario Rescue Organizations with Screening of potential Adopters and conducting HVs as necessary.

Actually you don't need to upload them to another website – at the bottom of the "Quick Reply" box click on the "Go Advancaed" button then scroll down past the "Reply" box to the "Additional Options" and click on "Manage Attachemtns". Then you can upload directly from you own computer files and the photos will be inserted at the correct size. It's easy.
