Elsa is now 9 months old and doing great. We are considering getting another Basenji. Would like anyones opinions on if she is still to young to introduce another dog to the home? Getting a male or a female? Pros and cons on multiples? and what age dog to get. Thank you everyone for your input.
I love at least two, they will play and keep each other company. I would think she is prime for a playmate at her age. You could get another puppy, or a young adult. Lots of 3-4 month old pups with BRAT in Florida, hint, hint.
We got our second B (Miles) when Akeyla was 11months and Miles was 10months. They get along super!! I agree that you should get male if you have a female or vise versa.
I think they all do that if they think it will get them released. AJ's almost 7 years old and still does that. Once he understands I'm not going to let him out just because he cries, he quiets down. After he's quiet for a few minutes, I open the crate and let him out. He stops crying faster each time.
Well, bless your heart.
But I am afraid this type of "rough" treatment can make this poor dog a problem, down the road.
Why do they even have this dog?
Status sic?
So I've committed to getting a brindle basenji pup January 7th. She'll be about 18 weeks old by then so hopefully not too old to cultivate a healthy, non-homicidal relationship with my cat. The wait is killing me, feels worse than waiting for christmas day as a kid ha ha.
Sharron! Thanks!
I'll look for a copy of the book. My family hikes a bit, but haven't taken the dogs out yet.
LOL, we're always prepared to have to carry a kid back, so a dog should not be a problem. ;-)
Please tell Teriann thank you also.
