Ghetti is for Serengeti, but we mispelled it. My husband and I didn't bother to look it up…:o but he has few nicknames, Big Dog, Big Chest Dog, Vicious Cuddles...don't have an explanation for them.

Nala..we named her after Simbas gal pal in the Lion King. So far she has acquired one nickname..Spunky

He's a beautiful dog!

Yes, they would be related then. Susan told us about one of the tri boys going to California. All of her puppies were sooo adorable.

Thanks so much for the compliments on my babies and the advise. We got both dogs from breeders. Ghetti is from Amazing Sun X Nowata's Love Kid and Nala is from Zindakas Sly AnubieX Sulous Venus Venture. As far as the chewing we did get her a nylabone and offer that to her as soon as we see her chewing something she is not supposed to. I will defintely go out and buy the bitter apple to keep her from eating the patio furniture and other items. As far as the rocks as soon as we discoverd she was chewing on the rocks we have been supervising her more closely when outside. I like the frozen carrots idea will try that. Any other good chewing items out there I can buy? Inside the house if everyone is busy ..there are 3 adults and 2 kids in this house.. she is put in her crate.:D

Hello Everyone. I would like everyone to meet Nala the newest member of our family. She's 5 months old and has been with us for a month now. She is our first puppy, Ghetti was already one year when he came to our home. They are getting along really well, and wow and what energy they have together. She has already destroyed some of our new patio furniture, she likes to chew on rocks?? that she picks up from the back yard, she insists on eating big dog food instead of puppy food, and hides under the our bed when trying to run away from Ghetti or us for that matter if she is in trouble. We have to coax her out with a cookie and what's funny is that our beds are from Ikea..very low to the ground..of course she is still small enough to fit..but she has to smash herself to the ground to get under there. Enjoy the pics.

Hi Julie! Welcome! I joined not too long ago and have had some challenges posting pics. I hope to upload pics soon. Where in Arizona are you located? We live in Buckeye. You will LOVE this forum!:D

Hello everyone. We have recently aquired a new member to our family, Geti. He is 1 year and 5mos and has completely changed our world. I am so excited to have found this forum. We are first time Basenji owners, we have no other dogs, so Geti is the prince of this household. I hope to upload some more pics soon and share stories with y'all. :)
