@supertwo that’s really close. Thank you!

I just moved to Maryland a little over a month ago. Would love to meet up with any other B owners around. I’m reasonably close to DC and Baltimore. There’s a decent dog park in Broadneck Park in Annapolis too.

I 100% fully endorse SmartPetLove Snuggle Puppy and can not say enough how wonderful it is for crate training a puppy. My basenji pup has slept through the night, every night since day 1 home with me. He only whines when he needs to go potty. I don’t allow him to play with it. He only gets it when he’s going to bed or when I’m at work. Best $32 Ive ever spent on puppy stuff.

This girl was just came across my Facebook feed. Article says she’s a lab mix but she’s got to have a lot of basenji in her. I already forwarded the link to BRAT. Maybe someone here would like to give this poor girl a home. https://www.facebook.com/444309878957346/posts/2130709666984017?sfns=mo

I’ve had other scent hounds before and they have all tended to be pullers. A head harness like the Halti are wonderful to stop pulling. They work like how a halter on a horse does. If the head is turned sideways gently they can’t pull forward at the same time. My B boy is a bad puller already. Once he’s a little bigger I will get a halti for him as well. When outside he tends to have the attention span of a gnat. This will make our walks more pleasant and prevent aching shoulders after a hike.

@zande thank you for checking that ️

MAMA! He's gonna put the thermometer WHERE?!?!

@eeeefarm thank you! I think I may have it figured out now. Note to self... don't try to figure something out before at least 2 cups of coffee and while Mojo is still on his morning energy high. lmao

@debradownsouth I've tried cropping, loading from both phone and pc. Only pic I was able to load at all was my profile pic. He was 5 weeks old there. Its when I picked him out. I have loads of gorgeous pics of him but I've never come across a less user friendly site to post pics. Its not like they are some high def professional pics here. I took them with my phone. I've tried the pic icon, cloud icon and upload icon. I just give up trying. its too frustrating.

Gorgeous boy. I spy a snuggle buddy in the background. My basenji won’t sleep without his.

He’s almost 10 weeks. Was born on New Year’s Eve. And he’s a red and white. Eventually I’ll figure out how to upload his pics here lol

I’ve tried to post pictures. Doesn’t seem to be working. I got him from Lee Russel in NC.

@pawla my basenji is named Mojo too!

Hello. I’m looking forward to learning more about my basenji here. I did a ton of research before deciding on this breed. My pup Mojo was born on New Year’s Eve. He came home last week at 8 weeks old. He’s a handful but by far the most intelligent dog I’ve ever had. He already knows several commands like sit, stay, come, down and roll over. As is typical from what I’ve read he does it when it suits him or he sometimes conveniently forgets when he doesn’t feel like doing it. Even if he just did it an hour ago lol. I’m a very experienced dog owner with other breeds over the years and I look forward to the adventures mojo and I will have in the years to come. I’m from Georgia in the mountains so there’s a lot of hiking in our future. ️

I’m way late to the conversation. Actually new to the forum. But I highly recommend getting a snuggle buddy for any pup. I got my basenji baby a week ago and he has slept through every night in his crate no problem. It’ll be a long time before he’s allowed in the bed. We are currently having a bad nipping stage and I prefer to not wake up bleeding. He does whine when he has to go out overnight and I let him out and he goes straight back to sleep. The snuggle buddy he only gets when in the crate. He does throw a fit in his crate without it. It has a real feel heartbeat so he feels like he’s with a littermate. They are cheapest on Amazon. I had also left a small stuffed toy with the breeder after I picked him out so by the time he came home it was saturated with their scent. That goes in the crate with him too. Hope that helps anyone who has crate issues in the future.
