Thunder..you bring up a good point..she reallly does with her ears..i stated in an earlier post that I would love to know exactly what she is mixed with..could it be? Perhaps you know if there is a test out there where I could find out for sure.

she stands approx. 15" at the withers.

She was just spayed saturday..she's having trouble holding it for more than 30 minutes or so at a time…this evening she has seemed to have done better..2 hrs without having a problem..i take her out every 4 hrs..and she does her business..both..she's only lived here for 2 days..so it's really hard to get any real data yet..if it continues after a few days i will be taking her to the vet to see if it's UTI related. we're getting a crate this evening so i can see if it's a matter of her needing to be housebroken..or if she really is still having pressure from the surgery.

Auriaya..our cat..seems to be in an ok mood today..she has kept to her larger part of the house..and i have been keeping Cambria to a smaller area until the two have had enough encounters on their own and ours to attempt putting them together..she's not marking in front of me. she's due for a vet visit anyway so i have scheduled it as well..we'll see if there is anything major wrong with her

love it..they look ready to wreak havoc!!

sorry for the quality of the photo..but this is Cambria..our mixed Basenji..and be nice..she's sensitive about the size of her ears cheers!

First all I should apologize..i neglected to mention that Cambria isn't a purebred..but you would only know this by the lack of white on her paws. If i had to guess she has a touch of Australian Cattle dog in her blood. The breed has already impressed us very quickly as I have already researched the closest breeder to us here in Texas..that being unfortunately almost 4 hrs from us..another Basenji is in the back of our minds..but nothing too soon as we only just got her. Is there a thread I may of missed detailing how all of the B's are related? It interests me as well. Ty for your response

just joined the community today..and i noticed this morning( first morning with our nnew dog) that our cat…had taken upon herself to urinate on the quilt on our futon..territorial thing..even if she hasn't been exposed to the dog yet? Is there a way to curb this action from my cat? The cat was here first..and she's about 1 yr old..so we're taking slow measures to introdue the two to see if having them around each other might work...since I'm working with Cambria urinating on the bathroom floor currently..i really am not a fan of having my living area smelling like urine as well..any suggestions from ya'll?

hi pennypen…glad to see another fellow Texan with a B on the forums..we're in Houston..hope all is well with the family

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!!

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?
