Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg

Some of my story is on Rainbow Bridge. Unfortunatly, Damian is no longer here with me and IM having a really hard time with it. I want to introduce another basenji into the family, beacuse since I have already had one, I couldn't imagine a better companion or owner as it may. I just need time to heal my heart some.
I love the breed and love to read about other basenji experiences. They are absolutely wonderful creatures and I could not have been given a better gift than Damian. He without a doubt, has given me the best 16 years of my life. -
Welcome to the boards, MyDamian. I read your story in Rainbow Bridge, and it is so touching! Thank-you for sharing it.
