@JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

It sounds like you have done a lot of soul searching to come to a wise decision. It hurts, I agree, but perhaps a consistently firmer hand will be best for her. Please do not look at it as giving up or as a failure on your part. Sometimes it happens that a dog simply isn't suited to its current situation.
Hailey will bring much joy to someone and become a well balanced, lovely girl. I am happy AJ's previous owner came to the same decision. Had she not, I would not have the joy he brings me every day and he would either still be fighting for pack position with the other dogs or would have been put to sleep.
You have set Hailey on a positive road. She will do well in her life.

Sometimes the right descision is not the easy one. And it sounds like you and Hailey just are not a good fit. I'm sorry. Of course Hailey has so many people who love her and are looking out for her best future.

I am so sorry I know this has to be one of the hardenst thing you have to do. Makes me almost cry just reading about Hailey. I do understand sometimes even when it hurts so much it's still the right thing to do. I do so hope you can find her a home and maybe you can stay in touch and keep pictures going to each other. I wish you the best if you were in states I would take her in a heart beat. Take Care.

So very sorry to hear of your problems with Hailey, i am sure you and Kas will make the right decision for you all
-
Aaw.. So sorry to hear this.. She's such a sweet girl and I know how much you love her..
I hope she finds the right home.. It will be hard for her too..
Hugs

I am so sorry
As AgileB said, often the right decision is soooo hard. We had to make the same decision with our Ariel….that was over 18 months ago, and I still cry about not having her in our home. But she is flourishing back at her breeder's home, and very happy. And our other dogs are much relieved that she lives somewhere else now...But I understand your pain....hugs, and best wishes

You have such a kind heart, this must have been a very hard decision. As Kim said, sometimes the right decision is not easy. And sometimes 'love' isn't enough, some dogs need a very strong owner or they will take over. I am sorry you have to make that hard decision now, I imagine it is very painful for you all.
She will be a wonderful companion for someone who has the personality to match hers.
Hugs to you!

Exactly… sometimes the right decision is the hardest decision. I had to make one of those a few years back when my Maggii and my Fatia were determined to fight to the end (as in death). Maggii being the oldest and the first in the home, along with no being the one that started it... was the one that stayed, period.... and I found a wonderful home for Fatia with one of the people I placed one of her pups with, it turned out to be the match made in heaven for all concerned. And I could not have asked for a better home. So while the decision is really a hard one, in the end, it is an easy one....

Thanks all for your kind words..
Hailey is going back to her breeder, so she won't be replaced to a third home..
She is going to live with her mom, her sister and her brother.
But it's hard.. it's so hard..:(

Kim, it must be very hard for you.
But I think you couldn't find her better home than home with her dog family and with her breeder and you know she will be in good hands :). -
Kim.
I am glad to hear that she will go to a place were she will be with family..it will in the end be a good thing..I know it must be so hard though..
We will be thinking of all of you.. -
Your doing the right thing for your dog and your b at home. Hugs.
-
You have done the right thing with Hailey and you know she is going to a very good home and she will be loved. Look at how much fun she will have with her mom, brother and sister. My heart goes out to you and your family better days ahead. Take care.

Yesterday evening (a bit too fast for our feeling) Hailey was picked up by hte boyfriend of her breeder…
We didn't had much time to get used to the idea of missing her but maybe it was for the best..
We maybe changed our minds if it lasted too long before she went to her new home...We are so sad... we miss her terribly...
Aside of the problems she is such a sweet prinses...Little Princes:
You will always be in our hearts..
Even now you don't live with us, you are with us.. always..
In our hearts...
-
She will be ok and so will you..it is hard but this quick way might be the best way, like you said..
I love those pictures, she is so darling..I must confess, seeing her and your boys together is one of the reasons Moses is with us today..I just love how the larger hounds look like big brothers..or sisters, to the basenjis.
You are in my thoughts Kim and Kas.. -
Hailey is doing great, she doesnt show any dominant or extreme submissive behaviour at all with us or the people around us, she is a typical , very affectionate, ibizan hound girl for her age that just needs some more intelligibility then Kim was able to give her ,
the other dogs allready taught her quite subtle, that she is new in the pack and has nothing to say when it comes to it, she understands and is perfectly okay with it, she knows her place in the pack and can relax too while getting a lot of human affection
she herself also made very clear to the males that she is not amused of their advances and we confirmed that, and now they have a great understanding
so it all ends well
-
So happy Hailey is doing well she is so pretty and like I said I only wish you were in states I would have taken her in a heart beat. I know this was so hard for Kim and Kas and my heart goes to them but with this good news that will help. Please keep us up on Hailey she has became one of all of us we love you Hailey.

Good to hear that Hailey is doing great..
-
Thanks for the update Marianne, its great news about Hailey
-
We sure can give enough intelligibility like you said Mar, our Basenji's are very well behaved. (otherwise Buana wouln't be a approved service dog)
We always had dogs and I worked wit lots of dogs, so I know how to have a dog.
I think she just did not fit here, and that's really sad because we loved her so much.
It's maybe because of her background, I don't know..
I'm very happy to know she is doing well, give her a big hug from all of us!
