  • Such an exciting time for you all. I hope to see wonderful photos soon.

  • You can do it..be strong Jennie…I can't wait to here of Ochre and see pictures too.

  • Im one minute excited, the next scared witless ;)…

    Mr Saba is off work today, and he has just one to buy all the stuff to make the whelping box, it is now a reality... Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;)

  • Whelping box square is now done… Just have to put the pig rails in, put the waterproof base on, cut out the door, and its all done... Yaaaaaaaaay :D

  • It is moving along nicely..so exciting.!!!

    LOL and if your bitch is like any of mine, that is the last place she will want to have her babies!…. Favorite choice of mine was under the bed or in a cabinet behind the pots and pans!

  • Oh Tanza you just bought back some stressful memories for me ;)

    Our very first litter of ACD's, we had the whelping box all set up in our bedroom. She was doing everything really well, when suddenly she decided, (at the very last moment I might add :rolleyes:), to jump up on the totally unprotected bed, and out pops number 1… Thank you Dallie, really appreciate that :rolleyes:...

    Eventually get Mum and bub all settled in the whelping box, when once again, she decided at the very last minute, to have puppy number 2, on the bed in the spare room :eek:.

    This went on like this for all 11 pups, all the beds were completely stripped and washed, and there was an awful lot of cleaning to do, to get the house all spic and span again :)... She was incredible, the way she just found any spot she wanted, then popped them out, cleaned them, I put them back into the whelping box, and then she was fine, UNTIL the next pup was ready to make an appearance :):):)...

    OCHRE WILL NOT DO THIS...

  • Exactly Saba…. that is why all of our beds have water proof fitted mattress covers!...

  • Ahhhhh but Ochre wont be able to get to ANY beds ;). Our beds are on the 2nd floor, with a baby gate stopping anyone from getting upstairs :D…

    You are under estimating the will of a Basenji :D

  • You are under estimating the will of a Basenjis

    the will of a pregnant basenji at that….;);):):):D:D

  • Can you post a picture of her while pregnant? I'm just wondering "how" pregnant a trim basenji usually gets.

  • @Kipawa:

    LOL, really pregnant!

  • @tanza:

    No No NO…

    It cant happen, it wont happen, will it ??? Surely she wont be able to scale a baby gate, that she cant get over whilst not pregnant :eek::eek: Please dont tell me she might !!! I already am scared witless, I dont want to have to worry about her trying to get over the gate as well ;););)

    I will get Mr Saba to help me put up a pic of her, today… She is generally such a beautiful slim, trim, fine little lady, and now she looks like a blimp :D ;)...

    I had to laugh at her last night... I was taking her outside for one of a number of wee's she's been doing lately, when she spotted a wallaby... Well off she went to chase it, (on a lead I might add...). Absolutely no co-odination, nor speed, and the wallaby was long gone, by the time she got to where it was... I did laugh at her, Im sure even fat me could have gotten to it faster than she does at the moment :p... Bless her...

  • Ochre at 2 weeks…

    Ochre at 3 weeks…

    Ochre at 4 weeks…

    Ochre at 5 weeks…

    Ochre at 6 weeks…

    Ochre at 7 weeks, (yesterday…It was VERY cold, and she isnt a very happy bunny at the moment !!!).

    Ochre's belly shot…

    Well I really hope they have come though... I still have NO idea what to do, but when we have time I will write down EVERYTHING that Mr Saba says, so hopefully I can put more pics up myself :o

    So how many little bubbies are in the 'oven' ??? Guesses anyone ??? :)

  • Very interesting. I have not seen many pregnant dogs (or overweight basenjis, for that matter) before. There's no mistaking what's going on!

    I'll take a wild guess and say… FOUR! I have no idea.

  • What a pretty girl!! She's definitely pregnant :D I think she'll have four, three girls and a boy :)

    You have to post pics more often!! They are great!

  • I'm saying 5 (3 boys, 2 girls)…btw, she looks much like my Ruby did when she was pregnant - like a pygmy goat! :D

  • She is glowing :), I love her belly bump. Pygmy goat is exactly what she looks like to me as well..
    I think 4 as well, but two and two..
    Yes for more pictures..:)

    @timothyhanselman If on FB, you may want to join BASENJIS in need: Golden Opportunity. There are some adults looking for homes right now. https://www.facebook.com/groups/375245789899780 And as one of the posts advises: "Stay patient. A lot of inexperienced people are buying puppies they are ill prepared for, from greeders who do not take their basenjis back. I suspect in the next 6-8 months we might see/learn of an influx of basenjis needing homes." Alas.... :frowning_face:

    It depends on the cat just as much as it depends on the dog. Does your cat run "prey-like" when frightened? I have 2 cats that have lived with 3 different basenjis. My male cat and my first basenji were pals and often cuddled together. They would wrestle and when the dog got too unruly he'd (the cat) nip him to keep him in line. My female cat ran every time she saw my dog. She was fun to chase and like most basenjis: "thing move, I chase thing!" Cody never ever hurt them and recognized that they were part of his "pack" (for lack of a better term). Cat outside? FORGET IT! He never caught one but boy did he try! My cats no longer live with my dogs (I moved and the cats stayed with my parents) and I know my female cat is much happier. Elliot my 3yr old is OK with my cats but Morgan my 1yr old chases them. Neither try to hurt them but the stress of being chased is a lot for a 15 year old cat to handle. [image: 1469113808168-1003649_10151420270322531_1939276400_n.jpg]

    @Kipawa: I think most people will agree that neutering a dog does not spoil their spirit or temperament. More often, spaying or neutering results in a more calm, balanced animal. I agree, but we have lots of people on the Forum from over the "pond" and they have most different ideas about spay/neuter, different culture, different ideas…. and that is their right.... sometimes we all will need to agree to disagree..

    @Kipawa: Boy, I will put my flame retardent suit on here before I say this - in the picture of the four basenjis, well, they look so unhappy. ALL of them. I sympathize with the breeder in that she has some medical/mental restrictions, but the look of the breeding facility frightens me. If she has medical/mental restrictions she should NOT be breeding. And I agree about the conditions of the kennels. They are dirty and unkept. And as said, if there are no papers/unregistered AKC then she should not be breeding.
