Yup, that's correct. I do feel sorry for the breeder, because I first contacted him in December, when the testresults of Jenson weren't known yet. Now he still hasn't sold one of his pups.. I haven't heard from the other breeder since I told her that we would like to have her pup. (this was on monday) I hope she contacts me very soon!

I agree!! You could tell she was bored with the whole thing and that was when she got all defiant!!! How do they keep them from not getting distracted when they do the classes at say Petco? We are going in Feb. and I am a little concerned about it.

O.K. Well actually that was what I thought it was L.O.L. But my daughter who has a horse and does Rodeo told me I was nuts! Thanks and by the way yuck! I slept with the little piece she had left last night!!! Ha Ha

I love the old ones. Look forward to some photos.

@Cruiser: I would love a pup from "Tamsala" Basenji's Yes, that would be Jan Roberts… I have a litter that was by one of her dogs, Dual Champion Tamsala Rocket Socks that she sold to the Jones Girls in So. California and so does lvoss... Jan has some nice Basenjis....

Hi! That was some rescue. Glad to hear Chili found a loving home.

Awwww, did you ever think when you joined that you would have two B's a year later?

weeziesmom- I'm sure you are very busy with your new addition, all 4 of mine are sleeping now so I have time to relax, but when you get a minute update us on how its going and we would love some pics!!

Welcome!! Please let us know if we can be of any help :)

I took a grooming course from a girl I helped train her dog. It was the best money I ever spent. I had looked at the on line courses, but didn't feel I would get the best exposure. I would start to practice on bathing first. Don't get water in their nose. Tip their head up and use a slow spray on their face. I found a low, slow spray does not get them upset if you hold it to their head. Some dogs can't have their ears wet either, some don't like their feet touched, or tails. The best experience comes with exposure. If you need help their are a lot of people on this site who are groomers who can help.

Welcome! This is a great forum to gather information on. Im sure you will be able to find the answers to many questions you may have along with some "b" friends.

My pup's dam is a trindle - Djakomba's Trinket. I am so excited. It seems like I've waited an eternity…..

Have you thought about a young adult? Maybe a rescue or one that a breeder has decided to place? Puppies take up so much time. A young adult usually (hopefully) has some manners and has been socialized and won't be quite as time-consuming as a puppy. Of course if you're able to take your pup with you to work, a puppy might be a great fit.

Welcome. Can't wait to see pics of King Tut, cute name, sounds like you have a great little family

He certainly looks like he could be a basenji-mix, he is very cute! Welcome to the Forum! We have several basenji-mixes in our local dog park group, they are so funny, they all act purely basenji. Anne in Tampa, FL

@lvoss: I PM'd you with contact information for Asil's Walkabout by ElDorado's breeder. I really urge you to contact her about the history of the dog. It is good that you are doing the research now so you can get a puppy that you will enjoy for a long time to come from a breeder who will be there to support you through all the ups and downs of basenji ownership. There are many resources availalbe through this forum to help you find a responsibly bred puppy. I e mailed her after I got your IM. Hope to hear back from her in the next day or so.

We are from the Cincinnati Area(Lib. townshp) to be exact! Welcome!

Good luck with the storms…. I am very lucky that 1. we have very few thunderstorms here... (earthquakes instead...ggg).. but my B's couldn't care less, thunder, fireworks, earthquakes... they don't turn a hair.... never did....

Welcome to the forum! You'll have fun sharing stories. Don't forget the pictures.
