RE: Cognitive Canine Disorder
We unfortunately dealt with this with our last 2 Jack Russells. Jack was 14 when he passed in 2012. He was literally climbing the walls and had sundowners. Stubber Pup, the love of my life passed 9//3/2019 at 17+ years. He couldn’t see or hear anymore. He didn’t even react to his name most of the time and he couldn’t get off the couch by himself. He’d just stand up there, look at me and just pee. He didn’t even know he was doing it. He’d whimper constantly and bark for no reason. Anxiety was intense. I couldn’t leave him in a room by himself. I really feel for you because it’s tough and heartbreaking going through it for the puppers and you. You just have to hang tough for them and go through it. The vet put both of them on anti anxiety meds which helped a little. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

RE: How Would You Describe Your Dogs Personality?
Crazy but loving lol. We’re wintering in Arizona and a firefighter we met on a hike yesterday on a mountain top was the first person to say, “hey, is that a Basenji! She loves everyone and adventure. (Teki’s had plenty in her short 2 years because we travel a lot!) She’s a wild child but super loving and affectionate. We’re getting a new puppy when we get home in 3 weeks so the adventure continues lol!

RE: Zulu
@jengosmonkey
Thank you, he sure is! His new sister is Teki, our 2 y/o trindle. She came home to us when she was 7 months. She’s still getting used to Zulu and sharing her toys, our bed and huparents but doing well with him being that he’s only been home for 6 days -
Introducing Teki!

We were heading to southern Arizona but made a left turn instead and drove to North Carolina to meet Teki. We fell in love and took her home to Wisconsin but first spending another week camping along the way. She’s an excellent traveler and loves camping. We couldn’t have asked for a cuddly, mischievous, funny and independent sweetheart!!

RE: Our B's Non-Negotiable Quirks
Teki’s is her “witching hour “. Every day at 6 pm she starts going into crazy mode. Of course witching hour changes with DST lol

RE: Too heavy?
This is Zulu next to his 2.5 year old buddy who weighs 28 -
RE: Meet Rogue
She’s beyond adorable! We can’t wait to get our little guy next month! He’ll be 12 weeks. I would have liked to get him at 10 but we’re wintering in Arizona. Have fun no matter what with your cutie pie!

RE: Zulu's litter mate is Sanji!
I have to say SO Cute, but I’m a little biased ️

RE: Sanji likes the rain
@sanjibasenji Zulu doesn’t mind the rain either but Teki thinks it’s going to kill her!

RE: Too heavy?
@tanza
Yes, Zulu’s a puppy and will be 4 months on the 19th (the R&W). Teki is overweight. I actually have an appointment next week for a full thyroid panel. She just keeps putting on more weight despite our cutting down her food the last few months and limiting treats. We thought with her being so crazy active with the new puppy would help but so far not -
RE: Just adopted a 5 year old black and white basenji
Thank you for adopting Enzo, he’s beautiful and sounds like he has the B—tude!

RE: The Art of Basenjis in the Rain
We have a big lean to next to the house. Really helps with rain or in the winter with snow

RE: When to reach out to a breeder
@donc
I second that. We adopted Teki when she was 7 months, potty training was already done for us but she was still all “puppy”. We didn’t really want to go through the early puppyhood even though that’s such an adorable time. Good luck! She’s a year and a half now and a crazy joy! -
RE: The Art of Basenjis in the Rain
@sanjibasenji I just saw this! Awesome! Go Sanji! Zulu doesn’t really hate the rain but he did walk into my brother’s pond yesterday. Of course I didn’t have my camera ugh

RE: Lure Coursing Age
Teki’s doing Fast Cat next month for the first time at age 2 1/2. I’d really like to see how Zulu would do because he’s so fast but it’s AKC sponsored and you must be at least one year of age
