I mean as far as playfullness and size 24lbs. coat is nice and shiny. She just seems to have eating problems for no apparent reason. She will go along time in between these episodes. Did not know if it was just the breed of dog or should we be on the look out for other issues. She is a wonderful dog though sometimes a challenge and very smart we love her dearly!!

Yes I will post a pic for you to see, She is actually wonderfully healthy all things considered.

Vet said was a mite that some breeds have trouble with and she will grow out of being sensitive to it. We have a dip we have to do. We have applied once already and will again in a week from now or every two weeks as instructed and she has a recheck in a couple of weeks. As I understand some of the posts here there are some specificate tests I should request?

Well we have been through tow groomers and she is impossible to trim nails, I am taking suggestions she will have no part of drimmel etc.

Also she is only about a year old and was found by someone and we took her in as they could not keep her. Is up to date on shots, etc.

intestianal, diahria and vomiting, face loosing hair and bumps, she is on sensitive stomach food and occasionally yogurt with food and in the extreme meds. from vet. She keeps us on our toes.

Sophia has been a hand full both with health and mannerisms had no idea she was a besanji, cool. It explains so much!! Everyone have a wonderful day. So glad someone can help us to understand her better now!!!:rolleyes:
Thanks,

We just found out last week that we have a Basenji. We had no idea. Now we understand so much more about her and her mannerisms. We are however having difficulties with her stools. She is up to date on everything and is on a special dogfood for sensitive stomachs and ussually does well. Accassionally for no apparent reason she will begin to have loose and watery stools. Not sure what is causing this and what to do. Vet has perscribed med. for stomach but try not to give to her unless absolutely necessary. Sophia is a joy and also alot of work and now we know why. Any suggestions as to what we need to do?
Thank you,
