  • Advice / help on mysterious health problems.
    J janja

    Hi....so, I am no vet, but a friend had some similar issues with her dog, and the dog had portosystemic shunt. This is a lucky guess, you need to listen to your vet or get a second vetenerian opinion.
    But I agree with you, you have to be careful not to put her under some treatment that is uncomfortable to her, or more aggresive than the disease.
    I hope you will come to the bottom of this, and If She is ok and functional, try some natural remedies too (it can’t hurt).

    Sending you get well wishes 🦄😍


  • Stop giving food if basenji seem like he is getting used to crate?
    J janja

    I never crated Fred, or any of my dogs so I don’t have any experience...but If you have something that’s working, continue with it.


  • Bathing
    J janja

    Once a year, during warm months.. Wet dog wipes are enough most of the time. Mine hates bath time...screams in the tub


  • Introduce a cat to 2 adult basenjis
    J janja

    The dogs are a pack. Playing with a cat can soon become something more. I would never leave them alone. If a cat starts running, they will chase it and will try a little bite (looks like play, but I wouldn’t bet on it). Take good care. I have one and a cat that was adult when the dog came and still the dog is sometimes ruff


  • Looking for basenji
    J janja

    Hi,
    There are a lot breeders in Europe, you can start with eurobreeder.com web page, there is a list of breeders (you can search by breed).
    If you still can not decide, I can help, Depends on what kind of dog you are looking for.


  • Growling at dogs during walk
    J janja

    My experience is - go to the dog park more often.
    Fred had those phases and still has them every spring. He growls and is acting dominant. When we enter in the dog park, first few minutes I am yelling NO! And them he relaxes and start playing.
    I would recomend more dog encounters off leash -but Fred is very playful and he is not aggresive, so that works for him. He is not biting, just growling hard.


  • brrr... coat suggestions?
    J janja

    For cold weather I suggest Hurtta coats. Summit parka is great coat for cold active walkies, and extreme warmer for very cold and windy (it has a scarf you can put over dogs ears).
    We hike a lot and Fred doesn’t mind to be in a coat, his movement is the same...
    He is size 40...and it fits great because it has the adjustable back lenght


  • Help with getting started.
    J janja

    Rare...you will have to wait, like the rest of us 😆
    But you can try adopt on BRAT ( basenji rescue and transport).
    Its only few months of waiting...and you can get to know the breed a bit more. Trust me, you will be discovering the breed for years as your pup matures 😊


  • Crate/seperation axiety- help!
    J janja

    Sorry to hear that, but She needs time to adjust and crating is not helping.
    I never crated my dogs and they never distroyed anything.
    My advise is to work with her more, obedience, longer walks...so She doesn’t feel neglected and let her find her own safe place.

    I wouldn’t give her medications, just time.

    Close those rooms with fancy furniture and leave her somewhere your smell is, bedroom maybe?

    Panting and saliva pools means a lot of stress, so get her out of the crate If she is not used to it, dont give her prozac.

    You need time, mental and phisical stimulations and lots of love


  • Bowel movements
    J janja

    It’s just a spot thing 😊 his bowel movement is ok...
    He has to pick a spot where no dogs are near, where there is a certain breeze...just kidding. He is picky, nothing else. Thank you 😊


  • Vomiting white foam
    J janja

    If it happened only twice and never again, don’t be alarmed. Maybe he ate something that upset his tummy (beside his meals).
    Does he has a reflux and swallows his saliva often?
    If not, monitor his behaviour, divide his meals in small portions and give them more often...

    Oh, and add water to his meals, specially If he eats dry food because they are known as poor drinkers.
