Thanks you. For what it's worth my name is Jeff and my loved wife of 46 yrs is Donna . We lost our loved one 9/13/09 she was 16yrs and 7 mo. she was the love of our life, and we still miss her very much. We are in the process odopting a brat basenji His name is Ernie and he is from Michigan about a 30 min drive away. Ernie foster dad lives on a 80 acre farm with 5 other basenjis. Ernie is a very happy boy he is about 2 and 1/2 yrs old tri color. I have one question and I hope this is the place to ask, When we went to visit him we noticed he had a double coat , could anyone tell me if this is normal ? Thanks Jeff Toledo Ohio

Usually before they blow coat they will get what seems to be a double coat… under coat and top coat... I would however have his thyroid checked as if they have thyroid problems it can and does really effect the hair coat.

Jeff and Donna,
so sorry to hear about your loss, it never is easy to loose someone that you have been close to for so long.
Good luck in your adventures of adopting Ernie. We can't wait to meet hm.. -

Good morning my wife and I returned form vac. Sat. We picked up Ernie yesterday. Ernie is all Basenji he is a 2.5 yr old tri. Ernie is very smart he sets stays rollover plays dead , and upon returning home we found out he loves too chase our two cats, not good. We will have to work on that behavior. I hope too have pictures soon not quite sure how to download yet .Once again thanks for all the welcome e-mails Jeff and Donna
