Butter was her name. She's the one with no white on her face and one small spot on the back of her neck.
Found out I might have to try one of those puppy bumpers, http://www.puppybumpers.net/ Anyone have experience with it and younger dogs/basenji types? She got stuck between the fence when we closed up the bigger openings and watched her from outside to see how she did :( Maybe we should have stuck with the name Butter LOL. She does great with the car rides tho, most of the time going right to sleep. Never had a dog relax so fast in a car so I had to poke her a couple times when we started home yesterday cause I was afraid something was wrong!

I'd never heard of a puppybumper before but I'm sure a Basenji would soon find the way to 'lose' one. I certainly wouldn't leave Kismet unsupervised just relying on the 'bumper' to stop her getting out!!

Nope I wouldn't even think of it. We'll just have to supervise her from "inside" the yard to keep her attention there instead of outside. Think that's the only reason she tried to get out and got stuck.

Very cool that you got one of those pups. I was following their progress on Facebook. Glad to see some are going to caring homes of fellow forum members. =)

LOL those puppybumpers would make a basenji chew toy. You may have to fortify the fence, not her.

Yup, puppybumpers…any self respecting Basenji would have that in shreads in oh, lets say 30 seconds or less...

I'm a bit disappointed in my sweet sweet girl. She barked, no yodel or baroo for me I guess :( Maybe I can run some of the basenji youtube vids and see if I can't tempt it out of her. It's a cute bark tho, she starts out as a whisper then gets a lil louder.

My little girl will only yodel for her daddy. No yodels for mom (me). :(
I feed her, train her, buy her pretty collars, make nice coats for her, make sure she had clean blankies in her bed, give her treats, etc, etc. All hubby does is walk in the door. -

aww. Well I was played some of the youtube basenji videos and one had her running downstairs barking, another she barked back at it but most she just listened to with a confused look on her face. Maybe it was the surround sound heh

LOL agile, Sayblee did yodel for me but much more for the spousal unit. Arwen doesn't do it at all and at 8 not likely to happen. Cara has had one almost yodel. :( She does musical yawns a lot though, and barks. Well more like boofs.
