Action pics ! Great ! spw

A third welcome from the UK - I hope you'll find the forum as intriguing and interesting as I have.

I've only just had my OD with World Show reports. Very well done and congratulations to the B's

Bless your heart for caring more about the dogs feeling then your own. Hugs, hugs, hugs. You are so doing the right thing.

@BART: Wow! It is a small, world isn't it? I kinda figured some of you would know Doc Tracy but its always nice to have a personal opinion confirmed. It is a small world… interesting thing is that in Basenjis you will find that most all responsible breeders know each other... maybe not personally, but they have heard about them or know they breedings.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome and to Mauigirl for the invitation to meet her beautiful pack!

@thunderbird8588: Welcome to the forum, you have 3 lovely Basenjis. Hi Selley, Thank you so much!!! They are my sweetee ;)

I am in Jackson TN and our heat index has been 105 or so for the past week with no end in sight. We walk early in the morning and then just out for potty breaks until close to dark and then we play Frisbee for a while and then come in. Bella likes water too. Haven't thought about a pool. I can only imagine it wouldn't last long if she got bored and decided to chew it. Would love to see some pictures of the pool playing.

@jinxed_1980: He doesn't like water… do you think nailing him with a water gun or spray bottle would be too mean? Never had a beggar b4 need help lol 90% of basenjis don't like water LOL and many of us use the spray/squirt bottles as training tools. These are considered non evasive training means and if perfectly harmless means. Best to give a verbal correction first of "AT AT" (yes right now he will ignore you) then squirt with the "AT AT", then he'll figure it out that you can just say the "AT AT" and if he ignores you like mine you should only have to just pick up the squirt bottle and he'll stop the naughty behavior. You can use the squirt bottle for just about any naughty behavior too other than begging, but try not to over use, try to use it more as you re-directive means after he is not working with alternate training techniques

Welcome to the group. As you start to socialize him he will calm down. Get him in a puppy class.

Welcome to the forum, how exciting to be getting a Pup.

That was probably when they were giving people the opportunity to help with Bella's medical costs to have her severely broken leg fixed. I certainly appreciate all those who did including my daughter. Hmmmm, wonder if that was why she kept nudging me to meet Bella. She has a pin in her back leg but you could never tell it.

First time, that's great; congratulations to her! My Ezri was perfect at six months. Not any more, she waited to be a teenager before subjecting me to public humiliation.

Hello fellow long time Basenji friend. They are such a joy to live with aren't they? Do share your longevity secrets:D Is it exercise? Food? Dental care? We had our first two for 15 and 16 years, and decided that more tooth brushing could have helped. We want to keep our newly adopted Leo around a long long time.

Welcome Wes and Anne, i'm sure you will love this forum. You are right Basenjis are certainly a challenge but definately worth it. Perhaps the other bit of her will make her a bit easier to train?

Welcome to the forum, I'm quite new myself. And thank-you for rescuing Cody. x
