pretty sure akc registered, ill get back to you as soon as i can, ill have to find out for sure if it was 1 month, but im absolutely positive that hes a purebreed basenji. besides the fact that hes not very bright, he got out once and chased a car down the street, ive read somewhere that basenjis like to chase cars.

i forgot actually before i registered to this forum, but i know that it was a place in oklahoma. his name supposedly was "marymail" before i got him. that probably sounds like a load of bull to you doesnt it? im also fairly sure that they only breed basenjis.

900? 750?
i got pilot as a 1 month old champion bloodline pure breed for only 450$

i agree, if my dog wouldnt get into trouble i wouldnt like him as much as i do now. i wouldnt want a perfect dog to be honest lol. hes so clever and funny

i also understand my previous misownership of him, but hes much better and hes extremely healthy. he isnt as alpha as he was against my rottweiler.
my rottweiler is finally getting hip problems and pilot understands that and gives him space, so im pretty proud of him. were also going to get pilot fixed.
he still needs just a little work on house training. a mild hurricane hit our house and knocked our fence over which leads straight to a hill, which at the bottom is the highway. so he cant go outside the backyard. anyway id just thought i would let you know how he is doing and that youll finally get to see him.

i understand he is not a rott but we are training him more different than what we did with the rott, im trying to make this puppy a well trained one like my rott so please, give me any advice you have to offer

what i do is pet them at the same time and try to be affectionate towards them at the same time and that seems to work, i do actually make him leave the couch sometimes but usually i do what i mentioned above

yeah hes been through training and obedience never pees or poops in the house unless locked in for a LONG period of time, has a getting into trash problem but hes a young pup, my rottweiler got into trash too when he was little. we train him weekly and i think i need to step it up a big notch.
he also has a jealousy problem when the rottweiler comes to play, pilot will get mad and to do the same, or when pilot is sitting with me on the couch the rottweiler passes by and pilot acts alert and gives him a small nip

he is not notorious for biting people, but he tries to be alpha with the bigger rottweiler, the rottweiler doesnt do anything but lets him know hes boss by growling but never biting, sometimes play biting though, no serious biting, i dont think pilot was actually trying to bite me i think he was playing but still it hurt.

i wasnt trying to get him to jump i was like running from him to see if he could catch me and he jumped up and bit me

yeah i understand, i told my self im not going to do it again.
its fun playing with him but your right i shouldnt encourage it.
but i havent heard of many basenji attacks on the other hand but i still wont do it

reading this youd probably expect to read something about some idiot making basenjis fight, but thats not the case.
anyway i was playing with pilot my basenji i was running around with him and this dog is like 20- 23 pounds, and he is a fast little pup, he jumped up and bit me on the nipple, god that hurt so bad, and then kept biting me at my legs and he brought me to my knees! powerful little dogs don't ya think?
i know i know i shouldnt encourage that behavior, but he is good with people and children

I dont know if its that healthy or not but i give pilot uncooked pieces of hot dog once in a while and he loves it.

Long time no see, i tried to log in to my old account newbasenjiowner but had forgotten my old email to get my password back.
Pilot keeps getting out in the front of the house, but generally our family is pretty good about that, he has grown quite a bit starting from a hand sized curious pup to a 20 pound rambunctious dog.
He is still a puppy and is in pretty good health, although he hasnt gotten much exercise lately, he plays with our bigger rottweiler.
How is everyone? anything new?
I recently set up a malawi cichlid fish tank if anyone is interested in that kind of stuff other than basenjis.
he completely ignores all my reptiles and fish which i love!
anyway im just checking in, Happy Halloween although its kind of late.
