Well our Summer Puppies have arrived 4 boys 1 girl all red and white all doing well Mum is soooooo proud!!:

Hello Matt I feel I have to answer you I also live in the uk and I have experenced the same thing with my boy I tried everything I thought, even had him castrated, but he was still the same then another breeder suggested I get his thyroid checked at first the test came back normal but they did say the lab had said there was a more intensive test so I had that done -result low thyroid he is now on 1 tablet a day and what a difference he has gone back to be a very loving boy no more problems I noticed in dec he started bein a bit funny again retested and he just needed his dose up a little since then no problems at all just a beautiful boy

I would love to go but unfortunatly it's just to far from Devon if there was another exibiter from the west country we could share expences but there is'nt

Hi Les' welcome to the forum must read your blog!!

Welcome to the forum Kirsty and Femi!!

Congratulations Jess and Maya,loved to have been there to see

I agree things happen for a reason she was meant for you ,enjoy her im sure if you really want to have a puppy for show what's one more ?3 basenjis are fine together

The potential is very exciting. Unfortunately not everyone considers the bloodlines and illness/disease when deciding to breed. I feel very strongly about this issue as I own a basenji who has suffered all her life with an ulcerated throat/stomach. I only hope in future people will be more responsible.

I absolutely agree with Ivoss in the fact that heritable diseases are indeed something to be researched before breeding. RESPONSIBLE breeding is the only way forward.

well done poppy and steveshe is a beautiful girl
