You would not know how much a holistic vet can help your dog with allergies till you try one, hopefully a good one.
I was dealing with a skin limphoma, my regular vet gave up on us after the 1 st surgery he had no ideas that those skin bumps can be healed without removing them. They can it’s like magic, just sprinkling some Chinese herbs on them made them shrink.

Well my BC was raised with Shar Pei so I don’t think there’s much left of a BC in her, she is useful now as far as running around the yard and scaring all the birds like hawks and such and the duck hangs out with her, other than that she is a couch potato even more than my Shar Pei used to be, at 14 y.o I have a video of my Shar Pei hearding the ducks!)

I would agree, no weekly baths.

Just wanted to update everyone. We didn’t get a Basenji but we did adopted a puppy that someone posted on Craigslist looking to trade her for some kids toys which we have way too many. I thought it’s a joke at 1 st and my instinct was to get her off the CL before she ends in wrong hands. Well we ended with a nice pup, a beautiful long haired German Shepherd, we had her for 5 weeks now, she is sweet, friendly, gentle, doing awesome with potty/ leash/ crate training. Has’t destroyed anything yet in the house. 2 out of 3 cats are friendly with her, the last one is just being bossy. She plays with our Border Collie and it is so much easier to train her because she pretty much does everything that Fozz, the BC does. I guess we got lucky so far, knock on a wood, I am still surprised and still very skeptical though!)

It’s been a while! Lexie is almost 6 m.o and 50+ pounds, doing great so far. Potty/leash/ crate training. Cats are adjusting well!)

Hi, I’ve been a member of this forum for a while, reading/ getting info about basenjis but never had one. At this point after our Great Dane and 3 of our Shar Pei passed at the ages of almost 11, 12.2 , 14.2 and the last one just in April.. 12.4 years old... cancer.. We are down to one lazy 4 y.o Border Collie, 3 cats, 2 ducks and one Blue and Gold Macaw parrot. Just wanted to ask for advice if this breed can possibly be a good match for us. We are not necessarily considering a puppy, more like an older dog. The breed attracts us because like Shar Pei they are independent and cat like clean, and very smart. The concerns are.. being destructive while left alone, but we only go for vacation once a year for about a week and have a pet sitter living at the house. I work from home. Both front and back yards are fenced and there’s almost 15 acres next to refuge to walk. And also cats and birds that used to be around dogs and are not scared of them at all. Kids are 16 and 12 y.o.., been around animals their entire life. We are in CT.

I am so sorry for your loss I was looking forward to adopting a Basenji after a loss af my last shar pei at 12+ but it never happened and I got a pup off Craigslist.. someone was trading her for kids toys and guess what she is a great dog, 7 m.o at this point. She is a German Shepherd...

There’s a lot of things that a holistic Vet can do to help. We actually wasted time with the surgery. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs were shrinking/healing tumors. If we would have started it earlier Vinnie might still be alive. She was happy and pain free till the very last days.

I only had to deal with skin lymphoma. If that’s the case with your dog, let me know.

I would agree, no weekly baths.

I’ve only heard good things about Eldorado Basenjis.
I really don’t have a lot of pets any more, a dog, 3 cats and a parrot.

I was using Fromm for a while, but now mostly raw.. scraps from the table, leftovers just to make her eat , she is doing just fine

I did reported it today, apparently there’s over 200 bear sightings in the area and they have some numbers to call, but it doesn’t sound like they can do that much.
