mauigirl lives in Dunwoody!!! She has two, and she is always looking to meet other basenji people!! (I just recently moved from there). I'll alert her & let her know you're here!
@karann - The key in my opinion is to visit with Basenjis before you get one... Of course I always recommend that regardless. But for allergies, ask the owners to prepare a small towel that the Basenjis will sleep on for a few days... take that home and put it under your pillow.... will give you a good idea if your allergies will kick up
Looks like you will have your hands full! The video made me chuckle, especially how quickly it happened and how the pup looked excited to make it to the sofa!
Yes, welcome to the forum. Hope you find good information and make friends as we all have! Yep, they are just like potato chips!!! Can't wait for pictures of the lure course!
Adorable face - probably a devil in hiding :p
If the biting is clearly play biting a firm NO should work (and see previous comments). If more serious then try bitter apple spray. You definitely want to stop this type before it gets out of hand.
Mine (3 yrs old) occasionally will bite (gently and really just a mouthing) when trying to get my attention to play. But you can tell from her expression that she knows she did something unacceptable.
Consistent training is the most important thing you could do.
I was struck by the fact that your Bernese lived to be 20 years old! Wow! I know they have had concerns with cancer in the breed, and very few of them live that long. How wonderful for you that you got to have her for that long.
