    Most people incorrectly use the terms dominant and dominance with regard to dogs. Here is a good blog post by Dr. Sophia Yin on the topic. http://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/dominance_in_dogs_is_not_a_personality_trait

    Welcome-Basenji's=two year olds (I want, I will get what I want, you can't make me, phthhht on you, did I do that?) Yeah, it's never THEIR fault, it's always yours. Unfortunately, I've been in your situation until it didn't work anymore and placed the one girl with my son and his girlfriend.

    Responding to JazzysMom's comment about fibrosarcomas at vaccine injection sites in dogs – I had made a post on that specific topic (along with posts on Lyme, Leptospira, Titers, Rabies, etc..) that the administrators deleted. Please PM me and I will e-mail it all to you and you are free to share it with anyone and everyone who has or loves a dog. Below is a link which will take you to the abstract from the Journal of Veterinary Medicine, Series A August 2003, vol. 50, no. 6, pp. 286-291(6) IngentaConnect Fibrosarcomas at Presumed Sites of Injection in Dogs: Characteris… Fibrosarcomas at Presumed Sites of Injection in Dogs: Characteristics and Comparison with Non-vaccination Site Fibrosarcomas and Feline Post-vaccinal Fibrosarcomas

    Sorry if we sound so disagreeable … but it is so important that the health of our breed is #1 on everyones list and that everyone understands and does as much health testing as possible before breeding... especially since we have genetic problems that we can't test for, the family tree becomes our only way of knowing what we might expect... and it is only fair to people thinking about getting a Basenjis as a family companion that they know what they might expect..... Everyone should visit the BCOA Health site (www.basenjihealth.org) and learn what is being done to find genetic testing and what everyone can do to help
