I live in the "upsloap", so we an expect to have snow well over his head, I have a small run that I used for my coonhound, it should be big enough for Bear.

Just had a wood stove put in, I expect he will pick his spot, carry all his toys over to it and not move very much.

I most certainly am Bears dad. He has done a great job training me so far, follows me every where I go, he's a real little buddy. He loves his long walk every morning at 6am, I am a little worried how he will handle the cold and snow, we get a ton of it.

I was thinking a litter box might be an alternative when we get those sub zero mornings, but at his age it may be a little late to try to train him to use it.

Has anyone had any experience with training Basenjis to use a litter box?

Hi- we just moved in with our first Basenji, a good looking black and white boy. We started in dogs with Great Danes 35 years ago, we have down sized our house, our income and our workout so it was time to get a dog that was a size I could live.

We live in northern Vermont and the trees willl start to change color in about 2 weeks (really).

I would love to get some input on how to handle these little guys in sub zero weather, we get a lot of it, any tips on feeding schedules and exercise would be appreciated, he has already staked out his position by the wood stove.
