    Congratulations on the future new addition. Boy/girl is a good combination. As others have advised let them meet on neutral ground and take them for a long walk together. For every good interaction praise both inordinately. As Curlytails says don't rush it. Keep us posted, please and best wishes to you all.

    Move the crates to different rooms. The female won't be able to see what's going on. Give the male his food first, then feed the female a little later. Don't let them out of the crates at the same time.

    WOW!!!..Words to live by!! I commend you for all the effort it sounds like you've put into your dogs. I wish people were more like you…and your mantra should be placed on every B owner's refrigerator door :D :D It's all about knowing your dog & KNOWING their limitations. Respect is key and so is a no tolerance policy. At least that's how it is at our house! :) BTW-I went to a Basenji Fun Match...and A LOT of B's are bitchy snarky little fur balls. Rest assured yours are not the exception. Mine are exactly the same way but we work with them every day on this!

LOL She HATES rain, HATES her bath, and I don't see her ever jumping into a lake to go for a swim. I still have to go outside with her when it's rainy and MAKE her leave the covered porch to go potty. When she was younger, we'd both get soaked just with me chasing her back off the porch a million times before she'd finally give up and go potty! LOL She'd pretend to start out to the yard, then loop around and make a dash for the porch. Now, She'll go out to poo, and zip right back. For peeing, she uses my husband's covered boat shed, which is just off the covered porch. I thought that'd bug him, but since it's just pee he tolerates it. She never did try to poo there. That goes back to that pooing far from home thing. She simply won't do that too near the house.
