Instead of Prozac,I recommend 5-HTP and a calming treat given daily.
Prozac can cause liver issues down the road.
Please, people TRAIN YOU CHILDREN !!!
It's not the basenjis fault.
If you can't get a handle on your child,how can you every get a handle on your basenji.
I have chased many a family with unruly kids out of my house who wanted a basenji.
And, how many wonderful basenjis get rehomed because of these very issues.

I'm in Ashtabula.
Please provide a phone # if you are interested.
I've been breeding for 45 years and will take excellent care of your baby.

Use a male wrap to protect your bed until he gets the idea.

Hi

My Diva is a service dog and has been for 5 years now. She is very good at what she does and is my lifeline. I have trained her in a unique way because of her size. She blocks by jumping on me to put distance between a person that comes into my personal space. She also wakes me up from night terrors by climbing onto my chest. I'm in good paws with my faithful Diva by my side.
I'm also in the process of training my full African as an alternate,he is 3/4 of the way in his training.

Years ago I sold a pup to a hunter that hunted every year for grouse.
Little Maya not only was a great hunter but the other hunters with Brittanies all wanted to know where he got his great little hunting dog.

Hi Myles,
My experience with seizures was with one of mine who I got back after his owner passed away.
He had a brain tumor (not cancerous ),non operative due to its closeness to his optic nerve.
He was on phenobarbital but when he came and was fine for months,I put him on a homeopathic
remedy that worked for him and he never had another seizure ever again.
My experience with the keto diet has been with my Rocky who was diagnosed with a tumor in his
mouth,(fibrosarcoma). Diagnosed in May of 2017, he is now cancer free after my vet said he had 3
three months to live. They wanted to remove his jaw and I wouldn't allow it. I'm so glad that the
keto diet plus the 30 + supplements that he still is on has worked to keep my boy with me.

I believe that our dogs and also us can heal if given the chance . Mother nature knows best and
dogs where not meant to eat kibble. I believe that basenjis especially evolved to eat a nature diet.
Kibble doesn't exist in the jungles of Africa,the natives fed them a natural diet.

That being said, try the keto diet as you really can't go wrong. If you need help,just let me know or
go to "The Truth about pet cancer" on YouTube,there is also info on seizures.

I can understand airlines cracking down on some ESA'S but for someone who has a "real Service Dog" there are laws to protect that right from the ADA.
I have a Service Dog trained by me and I have documents from a doctor stating that I need her.
I don't fly and don't intend to but if I did I would not allow anyone to stop me as I'm protected by ADA law.
And, yes my Service Dog IS A BASENJI.

My big race dog,Rocky(semi-retired) is on the Ketogenic diet. The reason for this is that he was diagnosed with cancer in May of 2006. This diet is raw beef,a small amount of veg.(kale,broccoili,spinach,red cabbage,etc.) and a tablespoon of coconut oil. I also add his many supplements. This diet has helped him beat the odds and he is now cancer free after being told he had 3 months to live. I also add an egg 2x a week and a pet-cal daily. I have found that this diet is also wonderful for my other dogs to keep them healthy. In a day when cancer is out of control in the canine population I will do what I can to keep my dogs from ever being affected again.
I buy a 73%/27% ground beef mix from Walmart.It comes in a tube and is very easy to handle. I also add chicken livers and chicken giblets. I package it in freezer bags and store the thawed for the day in a container in the frig.
It doesn't take long at all and I've never had a problem with it.

@ktiefen1
I replied with my opinion . I have bred basenjis for 41 years and have educated many puppy people.
I tell people that when they bring a basenji into there house that they are bringing a " mini wolf" into there house.
Trainers that train other breeds are not equipped to "handle" a basenji.
I have used calming herbs and homeopathic remedies with great success and I learned over the years to never take these "wild things" for granted.
I watch people with puppies when they are thinking about a basenji,if they have children,I watch how they discipline there children. Once a coup[le came out to see my pups, they where not able to handle there own children so I sent them on there way. Way to many people are not able to control there children so why would they be able to control a basenji. You have to have strong personality to be able to handle a breed as primitive as a basenji.
I have found that the new Africans are much more trainable and so I have added them to my bloodlines.
I have a basenji Service Dog who is the most remarkable dog and learns faster then a child.Her temperament is outstanding.
Debra, I know you will remember this litter,the one from Jeff S. in Georgia.
She is the bases for my new breeding program. Most breeders out there are not focusing on what is important. You must breed a dog that has a stable temperament but also sell your pups to people who are able to stand up to the uniqueness of this breed.

Oh, forgot to add, I use shirts that have built in repellent. They also work great.

Kathryn and Diva

@mmasco
Please go to Homeoanimal.com
They have remedies for Cancer that could help.
I have used them for my dog with great results.
Praying for your sweet boy.

Why don't you try raw.
I use Instinct Raw Beef.
My dogs goggle it up and all are in good weight.
I'm not in favor of kibble.

You should have considered that BEFORE you got a puppy.
If I was your breeder,I would have made sure that your girlfriend
was fine with a puppy.
My own opinion is no puppy,no girlfriend.
Just saying.

Instead of Prozac,I recommend 5-HTP and a calming treat given daily.
Prozac can cause liver issues down the road.

Hello Buxton's Dad
Did you get your B from Jeff G.
He has my # and can give it to you.

I'm in Ashtabula.
Please provide a phone # if you are interested.
I've been breeding for 45 years and will take excellent care of your baby.

Zande,
Basenjis for 45 years.
I have had Cancer,Aggression issues and Skin Issues
all caused from reactions to the rabies vaccine.
I'm not saying it happens with all b's but I have had it
happen.
Even had a nice pup die right after the shot.
Unless it happens to you,you wouldn't know.
To those that haven't had a problem,I'm happy for you
but I have had it happen,especially in my Avongara's.
In other breeds it is also very common,sad to say.

Tanza,
I have 15 years on you and I have in fact have had problems.
My dogs had vet exemptions.

When was your pup vaccinated for rabies.
Look up side effects of the rabies vaccine.
go to the dogs naturally website and look for
side effects.
Sudden aggression can and does manifest in
in dogs given the rabies vaccine,even if it was months ago.
I speak from 45 years of experience
