Hi everyone! I am from Eugene, Or. About 2 1/2 years ago, a young female basenji showed up at my front door. She had no collar, no chip and was in heat. I didn't know what kind of dog she was. I fell in love with her. I posted on Craig's List - Lost and Found and put an ad in the paper too. No one claimed her and are we ever happy about that! Except the cats still don't like her much. She is a constant challenge and she is getting us very well trained. I am lucky enough to be able to take her to a day care where she is on the move the whole time she is there. She is exceptionally friendly and curious and very entertaining.

My little 3 yr. old girl is getting her teeth cleaned after having it done just 6 months ago. She has now had 10 teeth removed. We brush and give her good things to chew on, but it seems that she will have periodontal problems for the rest of her life. Her gums, cheeks and tongue were all inflamed! It is comforting to see that she is not the only one. We have no idea of her breeding, as she was a stray. The vet believes she is most likely pure bred.
