Juliette, most Americans speak one language only. Anyone ever not in awe of you even TRYING much less how well you do it, well, forget them. You do fine. And your dog is SOOOOO cute!
beautiful dog! and your english is fine! if you only knew how some americans speak english, you would be horrified (as i write with no capital letters)!
@annie In that case, Spice is already in the data base. Pam is always very quick to send me all their litter details. You can go and have fun tracing your pup right back through generations of well known Basenjis.
Email me a photo with his registered name so I can embed it into his pedigree.
@JaxxnBeer - go to this link http://www.ofa.org/dnatesting/kits.html and then on the left hand side where it says OFA/MU DNA Tests and scroll down to the one that says "Fanconi" and then to the one that say PRA (Basenji) - click on each one and you will go to the order page.
Hope that helps. Does this mean that the Sire and Dam have not been tested?
Thanks! wanted to give her a good name since I fudged Beo's name…....named him Darby O'Gill and then realized weeks in that it spells 'Dog' so had to rush to change it. Named him Beo after Beowulf - because he seemed so anti-heroic and I never figured he'd be much of a protector. Name curse took over from there though. Bop-It should be safe from the name curse.
Sound advice, trying to enjoy it while it lasts :)
Welcome Greg. Its always best to get dogs acquainted outside their own territory. It looks as though they have already met. I hope there is no rush to get them together as it can take time. It all depends on the dogs. Take them for plenty of walks together, preferably long ones. I see they are the same sex. Are they neutered? What are their temperaments like? Do they normally get on with other dogs?
Your boys are part of the reason I have basenjis! When I was researching the breed, I attended the Basenji Club of Northern California's Specialty Show and one of your boys spent nearly the entire show in my lap. After that day, I knew I would at some point bring home a basenji and the following spring, I did just that. Nicky, turned 14 years old this past December.
@nala121498:
Congrats and welcome, fellow New Englander! Looking forward to some snowy pictures if Santa brings you a camera!
Thanks! I love Vermont, everytime I go there on the way to Canada, I think, gee, that is the way Maine used to be. :( I definitely need that camera and will definitely need to figure out the winter thing in general considering I run her on my bike now and will need to make up all that exercise.
