Everyone meet Klassic's Trixie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We drove the 3.5 hours from Pittsburgh to pick up Trixie from Sue (Klassic Basenji's in Marion, OH). It was a very long day with 7 hours of driving to and from, but the ride home was much better than the ride there, except for the part where Trixie peed on my friend that went with me to pick her up! Trixie seems to be adjusting well so far, we are about 50/50 with going potty outside. Trying to learn her body language as to when she needs to go out! She is a stubborn thing on the leash and that will need much work as well! So happy to have her here! She loves our kitty Pinkie, and our miniature pinscher, Zombie. Zombie is more interested in stealing the puppies belonging's and claiming them for her own.

Looks like you will have your hands full! The video made me chuckle, especially how quickly it happened and how the pup looked excited to make it to the sofa!

@krunzer:

Ohh this holiday is going to go by so slow for you! Congrats on your new baby! Is this your first B?
Make sure you gets a lot of stuff for it to chew on…..or it's going to find your shoes, and everything else, really tasty. No rawhide though, go with bully sticks and kong toys. The kong toys where u can put stuff inside will keep him entertained.
I am already looking forward to pics! Good luck waiting!

Yes the days are dragging by! Yes it will be my first basenji (I've been planning on getting one for years and have met a few, so hopefully I have some sort of idea of what I am getting myself into!) I am very excited, and my husband is nervous, haha (I think he is dreading house breaking and crate training). We have a almost 4 year old miniature pinscher so we are hoping introductions will go well between them! Our min pin usually like's other dogs, but she usually indifferent, so hopefully the pup won't drive her too crazy. Counting down the days! (10 days)

Hi all, My name is Becca and I am located slightly north of Pittsburgh, PA. I will be picking up my pup from Klassic Basenjis after Christmas this year! Would love to skip through the holiday and just get my pup :)

Any recommendations on things to get for my new puppy?
I got a crate, bed, and puppy gates so far. I am curious about what toys your dogs love and what type of collar is best for a young (she will be around 12 weeks old when I get her). Any suggestions on what got you through the puppy stage and any tricks to help deal with crate training?

Thanks Can't wait!

Hi I know this thread is old, but I am getting a basenji puppy after Christmas this year. I would love to do meet ups and get to know you and your dog(s) so you can tell me all you know! My pup will be 12 weeks old when I pick her up (from Klassic Basenjis). I live in Wexford, PA and am moving to West Deer/Gibsonia, PA (slightly north of Pgh) after the new year. (Yes moving and having a new puppy will be utterly insane!)

Let me know if you are interested!
