Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg
Soon to be basenji owner
-
Just figured I should say Hi!
I should have my first own Basenji puppy in February. I seriously can't stand waiting anymore, I've been on this forum for close to 1 year already, waiting for a puppy.

Hi great news your about to be a basenji parent. Parents are very nice looking. What are you getting boy or girl and do you have a name yet? Lots of fun ahead get the house puppy/child ready that will keep you busy some.

Congrats on your soon to be new addition! I'm sure the wait is super hard - be sure to post pics.
BTW, my boy Brando (Sternhimmel's Generis Sui) is from Finland and is distantly related to your pup…Brando's grandmother is Sternhimmel's Quinta Essentia (who is also in your pup's pedigree).

@Rita:
What are you getting boy or girl and do you have a name yet?
I'm hoping for a girl, and the name would most likely be Nicole.

Well I'm looking for a tri-girl, but we'll see what happens
