Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Pearl ,i know nothing abour good/bad bites but wouls like to say what a pretty little girl you have. Thanks for the pics.

  • Yes we love her!!!
    And now she and I enters the obedience class instead!!!!

    And we have a plan for the future.. Lure crusing!!!!

    Good night!

  • She is very cute, but looking at the photo's of her teeth, in my opinion, this will not correct itself and if she were mine, I would not breed her.

  • Pearl, she is very pretty. I love her headshot.
    Lurecoursing sound like so much fun, I will have to look into that as well with Otis..

  • Pearl she is beautiful and I can see why she is your little angel she looks like one.

  • nice wrinkle and muzzle is short which might account for the bite - lovely ears - if the sidegait one is of her - nice reach and drive, the standing one - hard to say she is a bit under herself in the rear and looks to be a bit overweight (like me LOL) and down in the pasterns - likely the way she is standing.

    Enjoy - I did a little test run of my Podengo - Hanna - and she loves it. So great one more time to get her started (if she does not go in season in the next couple weeks) and then it shuts down for the winter.

    Of course! They shall be perfect if to breed on!!!!

    It's just to start look for an new Basenji! I really want to show!

    I think my oldest Jack russel may become an substitute so long….

  • I think you should ask breeder if other relatives (puppies from same litter, from other litters… ancestors etc.) have problems with bite, teeth etc. If they do, I think it's better to take new puppy from other breeder, different dogs.
    Also, about father - why do you like him so much? Have you seen his offsprings from other litter(s)? Are they good? Is he realy so good (his look, temperament, health) that you want show quality puppy exactly from him? ;)

    And your girl - I am sure that you will find something to enjoy with her, lure coursing, agility... Who knows, maybe that will be more funny and interesting than shows. :D

    Good luck with your girl and good luck with finding another one. ;) :)

    O yes! I think it will be from another beeder the next time…
    And about the father, so no I haven't seen so many puppys from him because he has only two litters after him yet... But I have been told that the "good stuff" my "puppy" have is mostly from the father and I like the type he has...
    There will not be any puppy for some years. We have 4 dogs now that all want there time...

  • Let me tell you this sad fact of puppy information and which part provides the good stuff. It commonly is attributed that the 'good stuff' is from the father and if there are any flaws it is the dam. That is completely untrue - they both contribute material and how that genetic material is connected within each individual puppy is a result (good or bad) of both of them.

    There have been stellar males who have never produced as good as they were and non-descript bitches who produced wonderfully no mater what they were bred too - and every combination in between.

    But I know what I see!!!!
    Yes it can be so, but if my dog is very look a like her father I think that the "good stuff" comes from the father! I didn't meen that the mother was bad!
    I belive that she can do very good with another male, that is more look a like! But I like the type of my dogs father more than the type if her mother…

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
