Hello there,
I own two Basenjis, Fezzan (male) and Mara (female). I have them both in my backyard. Mara is pregnant and based on my calculations, she is due by January 9th - 10th (copulation took place on November 7th).
This is the first time that I own mixed sexes (I had always owned females - Dachshunds) and the first time that my Basenjis are to have puppies.
Is it ok to have Fezzan in the backyard when Mara gives birth to her pups, or should I definitely separate them?
Knowing Mara, she will probably have an anxiety attack if I leave her alone, but I don't want to risk unexpected behavior from either of them the day the puppies are born or during the next following days.
Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
Rodrigo
