  • Welcome Ann and Noel, he's gorgeous :)

  • He's beautiful! I just rescued my first basenji a couple of months ago. But I have been a basenji owner for over 17 years. Do love the unique breed! It just gets better…..

  • Welcome to the forum Ann! He's very handsome! He's got that too smart for his own good expression, hehe.

    Edit. SHE is very pretty. Whoops.

  • Thanks for the welcomes. It's fabulous to see your replies from around the world.

    And I must agree with you. Noel is gorgeous! We hadn't thought about getting a B&W until we met her…Oh, Noel's a she not a he. Accent on the second syllable. She was born in November, so I bet her original family named her with the Christmas season in mind.

    I will tell the "expensive" story eventually. It may require a couple glasses of wine first, and I'll have to find the proper forum category. Is there one for stupid human behavior?

    That would probably best go into "Basenji Story Swap".

  • What a pretty girl. And I predict it won't be long before you have 2 basenjis.

    Hmmm… stupid human behavior... that would cover about all of us on this forum.... gggg

    Probably post it in "Story Swap"…now we have to hear it with a lead-up like that! Ha, ha. :D

  • Hey Ann. I am with you. I didn't know a thing about basenjis either. I got mine from the shelter and didn't even know what I had until the vet told me. Then I was like.. a bas-who-da-waht???? Now, I'm like proud to tell anyone on the street…he's a basenji...yep. And we should all have badges for the love we put into these strange and fabulous little friends.

  • I will take the badge but all the love they give us back and the stories they give us from everyday life will work for my badge. Candiejohn looks like you ready for lots of fun.

    Hi and welcome! House training with any dog is the same boring work... with an adult it usually takes less time than a puppy because their bladders are able to hold longer, but honestly, it is absolutely necessary to watch, leash to you, crate or outside every second until you have a dog who consistently asks to or goes outside. Every time you mess up, it prolongs training. http://www.clickerlessons.com/index.htm Has training on left, behaviors such as house training on right. Another good one: https://positively.com/dog-behavior/nuisance-behaviors/potty-problems/adult-dog-housetraining/

    Thanks again for all of your advice. It is nice to know that I am not the only one who is dealing with such a strong willed animal. He is currently laying on the floor chewing on a nylabone as is my golden "Levi". I can't say it often enough "I LOVE NYLABONES!" Well, now he is in my lap chewing his nylabone because Levi thinks that if Taz is chewing on it, it has to be better than the one he has. LOL

    He's a hungry dog today. Gave him 1/2 cup in the morning and just a few minutes ago. He had no problem eating. I'm much more happy that he's eating now. He likes his bone as well. Not too much into the Kong yet. I just wish he didn't cry in his crate when I put him in there. Feel bad for him but I know it just takes adjusting. He is perfectly fine when I return home after he's been in there awhile. It's just the initial time. To be honest though, this transition went far better than I expected. I was prepared for the worst. This little guy has done very well.
