Hello everyone! We just recently adopted a dog that I think is
part basenji. I found this forum and have some questions that I'll be
posting in other sections. I just stopped in here to say "hello"!.
@Nancy-Berry The saying is a very true one... when people ask how your dogs are with children, say "It depends.. how are your children with dogs?"
Toddler Leora got her little legs smacked more over the dogs than anything. Not training your child to respect dogs, to understand that a hurt dog can and probably will respond, ... well it puts your child and dogs in danger.
What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home.
As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.
A tired Basenji?!!! Joking apart, I agree with the previous posts. It is really important that she doesn't get something for nothing as Wizard advises make her work for it.
Welcome to the Forum to you,Teagan and the others.
