I have an alpha female basenji and brought a newborn into our family. I was in the hospital for four days (my in laws stayed with dog and horse), when we came home, we had my Mom bring her new boyfriend. He was a great distraction, but also allowed me some alone time with Cricket. When they left, she noticed the baby in the bassinet and was a bit concerned.
She adapted to the baby, but I don't leave them alone just in case. Cricket is not nearly as jealous as she was, now that he drops food for her at the table, but she did get a bit jealous for a few weeks.
While I was pregnant, I was told that 'the test' was to play baby crying videos on YouTube. How the dog reacts will tell you how they will interact with the baby. Cricket beat the crap out of my phone when I tried… So not a great test! 🙂

This little girl is looking for a new home

I wonder who bred her and if they know she is being moved on.

I was just going to ask that myself…... she is really cute

She is very cute:) I also wonder if the breeder has been notified:(
-
the owner is going to email me her details later

Must not look. Must not look. Must not look. :eek:
Surely the breeder (if decent) would take her back?

They should do but I have heard of a few basenji's where this doesnt happen

Can't be much of a breeder then. Poor pup.
How could anyone with any decency not be bothered about where their baby might end up? So sad. -
Coud it be a con?
Look at the picture, it's beside at least one other B, and it has issues with it?
Unless that's a breeders pic or something. -
I've just realised who has this puppy and also who bred it:rolleyes:
Both peeple are members on here.
It's one from this litter http://www.basenjiforums.com/showthread.php?t=8524

Hmmm. And who has the puppy just now? Poor thing, passed about from pillar to post and it's just a baby still.

How sad… It's a lovely pup, I hope she finds her forever home soon!
-
She's beautiful, i do hope she finds a good forever home with people who understand Basenjis.
-
Poor wee mite! No wonder most good basenji breeders are so thorough when they vet potential owners. I hope she finds a really good home soon.
-
Things can always go wrong with rehoming pups and sometimes they cant stay in their new homes, we had one lab puppy who had to come back to us when the owner broke her back - very sad situation for everyone concerned… But hopefully if the breeder of this baby didnt know their pup is being sold on they will read this thread and contact the owners to take it back.
-
I wonder what has happened to the littermate that she also has/had!!
-
It's awful when things don't work out. Lets hope this little girl finds a great home soon.

The advertiser is a member of this forum who seems quite a genuine person.
Unfortunately, the breeder (the link above) placed two puppies with her - I consider this was totally irrreponsible and taking advantage of a not very knowledgeable but kind person. I'll contact somebody who helped the breeder in the past and see if I can find out more.
If Katty reads this, perhaps she would like to get in touch with Basenji Rescue they may have a home for this puppy - in any case they would take over the responsibility.

I sure hope this sweet puppy finds a good home.
