Cory seems to really like her crate at night. It is beside our bed and when she sees that we are on our way to bed, she goes right in and does everything but shut the door after herself. My husband is away on a trip and so the other night I left the crate door open at bedtime to see what she would do. She still stayed in there all night. She didn't come out until my alarm went off the next morning. At least if she starts to shred at night I should hear it. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and hope that doesn't happen. Is Keoki in the room with you?

I have never had a problem with boys after being neutered… but since it has only been a week and 1/2 could be that he is still healing....

But again, I have never had that problem. If it continues I would certainly talk to your Vet..,

When will we be able to see a photo?

@felakuti:

thanks for letting me know about Echo of the Wind…it's fun to keep track of what's going on, isnt it? 🙂

The more I learn, the more fun it is and I was never that interested in dog shows. I'm just starting to understand just what they're looking at.:eek:

He is a really nice dog.:)

The Basenji is still used by hunter/gatherers. It has incredible stamina and is excellent at solving problems.

When I got my first Basenji, she would eat everything and escape when she could. After I took her mnt biking (or hiking in the snow) she mellowed out. She knew every weekend she could go out and run, dig, wallow in dirt, sniff other dog's butts and just be a canine. This gave her an outlet and her destructive and nomadic behavior really slowed.

I trained her to follow me in the summer. I let her know I had water and let her loose (outside the city, of course) she would take off and do whatever it Basenjis do. Eventually she would get thirsty and find me. Everytime she came back I would giver her water. This conditioned her that I have value. The first couple times were harrowing.

Now its no big deal. She trained my other Basenjis how they whole mnt biking/hiking thing works.

@Quercus:

Actually, Pat…in our part it is around $600 to $700 🙂

Even better… 🙂

I know that a lot of people question the different prices across the country, but it really comes down to the cost of trying to raise that litter...
