    Vanessa, Where in Canada are you? Did you get your dog from a local breeder? If you did, call your breeder, often they can network other basenji owners and help you organize a search. It is very helpful if people out looking have another basenji or dog with them. Also get photos together quickly to make flyers and get them out with your contact information. Is your dog microchipped? Get your microchip number, dogs name, your contact info to all vets in your area as well as shelters. Your best bet is to contact the breeder and get as much help as you can. God speed in finding your dog! Therese

    @Tayda_Lenny: LOL - Yep! Moved to Sacramento in March! I've been kind of MIA on the forums - it's been a crazy few months - got married in June (in Michigan) and have changed jobs TWICE since being here! Just changed my sig and location - so now I'm "officially" in California! :) Thanks, i was wondering why someone in Conn was going to foster a found dog in Cali. Is it strange for you with the water being on the wrong side and all? congrats on your new marriage and new jobs

    I volunteer at my local shelter and I am currently training to do behavior evaluations to help relieve some the burden the current budget cuts have out on the staff. Even overworked and underpaid, the staff there IME working with them scan the body and scan with both scanners they have. Does this mean every shelter is this way, no, but I think alot of people paint shelter workers as being kind of lazy about microchips and that is not what I have observed. Most really want the animals to be reclaimed and reunited.

    Houndmom, I'm sure that if someone is looking for her, they already notified the HS and other shelters in the area or will soon. I wish I could take her if her family doesn't find or want her back. It just hasn't been the same without Dot in our life. Keep those IGs safe! I'm glad you found the forum. From Alicia in Ohio

    <> This is generally considered not good advice for dogs like Basenjis. Unlike other dogs, they are not very forgiving with people that cause them pain. You will likely end up with a dog that becomes fearful of people reaching for his head. Often squeezing a dog's muzzle to alleviate play biting will have the opposite effect as well, as it charges a dog up even more. And FTR, rubbing a dog's face in anything is cruel, and ineffective teaching. Not one, single professional trainer that is up to date on current techniques would advocate that. There are many threads here about working to reduce puppy play biting with Basenjis. Look under the training threads.
