Adoption contract

Basenji Talk
  • misspodhradskyM

    Hello,

    I was just wondering. After you get everything done, or before (depending on what you want to do yourself) - all the health tests done, the stud found, the puppies on a waiting list, and so on and so forth,- how do you come up with the adoption contract? What information should someone put into it? Why do different kennels have different contracts/applications. How do you go about pricing a puppy? What is considered responsible breeding and what is considered BYB/puppy mill.

    Please be kind and do not attack me with accusations and lectures about breeding. I am only asking in a wanting-to-learn way. I appreciate all the help in advance and i look forward to hearing from other basenji lovers.

    Thanks so much,
    miss pod

    How long have you been in this house? Have you tried setting up a place to sleep and hang out downstairs to see if he eventually becomes growly even on the first floor? All electrolytes, including IONIZED CALCIUM are within normal range?

    It depends very much on the cat & the dog & your setup. I have a cat who never could adjust to the dogs. She was terrified of them. Every time she came around, they got excited because they wanted to sniff her & play with her, which freaked her out. Her instinct was to run & hide, and of course when she ran, they chased her, which freaked her out more. Even after nearly 3 years, she just couldn't adapt to them. My current cat, Spooky, stands her ground. She rarely runs from them, and if they get to be too much, she uses her claws & teeth to tell them so (every dog under her domain has been to the vet for a scratched eye once and only once each haha). She has been known to instigate wrestling matches with the dogs. But she is a much more outgoing, friendly, trusting cat than my previous cat. Both cats were exposed to the dogs as young puppies, and I make sure I'm around to supervise interactions in case they do get too rough. Basenjis do have a high prey drive, but generally speaking, if the cat can stand its ground, and you are there to supervise & introduce them to one another slowly, it could work out. Good luck!

    She looks very sweet, whatever her parentage. We had a lab for 12 years. Sweet mild-mannered dog, a little needy and shed year-round. But great off leash, unlike the curlytails. Labs do tend to be mouthy and need something to chew on more than many breeds, but if she's older (older than 3) she may be beyond that. Either way, good luck with your new friend. Does she have a name yet?
