Hi all from Cambria and her owners

Member Introductions
  • Hello everyone…as of 11/20/10..Christopher and I are the proud owners of a Basenji..we adopted her from a shelter the other day..she is 9 months old and was just spayed. Her name is Cambria..very, very friendly dog..and her mischevious sides are already starting to emerge. Due to the fact that she was recently spayed, i will assume with her frequent urination on the floor..this is the cause..i don't want to count out possible UTI..but being such a fresh surgery..i will have to keep an eye on it..she also does her #2 business outside so i'm hoping this is only temporary..but if this should not be the case, I've heard crating is the best approach..being that you others already have a Basenji or more...what is your advice..and what have you found to be great, hardy toys for them..she found the toilet paper roll today..of course my fault..but trying to create good habits..not bad ones :)

    I hope to post pictures in the near future..and I will be checking back here often. I'm not a new dog owner..only to this breed..and as we all know..different dogs, breeds, bring..different personalities..ty for all your help and insight in advance..be talking to you soon!!

    Robin/Christopher :)

    Please note..I failed to mention Cambria isn't a purebred..it was inferred she has a touch of Australian Cattle dog in her blood. Btw, if I'm not mistaken..is there a genetic test that can be administered to determine this?

  • Hello! I'm in Tx as well. I crate my Basenji (and my chiweenie for that matter.) I think it gives them a den/safe spot.

    Nayru can deconstruct any toy so far. The best one has been one of those loofah dog toys from PetSmart. That only just got destuffed. :) I just pick up fuzz a lot.

    She loves her beef bone for gnawing on as well.

    What a sweet face! Thank you for taking her in, she needs a forever home. As Pat indicated, unless you have info on the parents being clear, or at least one clear, she should be tested for Fanconi asap.

    Thanks, I will pickup some SAM-E at the store today, I had no idea what dose! I hope Pete has a comfortable time with you, you are doing everything to keep him happy. My friend's mastif-dobie mix has very high liver enzymes, she is 10 and otherwise looks great. She is slowing down, sleeps a lot but has good appetite, etc., he opted for no more tests (at her age, he would not put her through any treatments other than meds). She loved the liver-cleansing diet, is back on regular now and taking Sam-e; like you, he is just hoping for some good quality time with an older beloved dog. Hugs to Pete!
