  • @Maya:

    Is Kenji one of the Dunkin x Katie babies? I WANT one of those babies, very jealous!! :D

    Yes, Kenji is one of them. One of the 2 males :D. I'm lucky to get him :D. I will have to put up all the pictures from our visit. They were all soooooooo adorable. Pics of Kenji and siblings.

    Question, has anyone noticed that their b's chewing habits diminish with the increase in physical exercise they get or mental mental exercise? I've read that Basenjis become destructive when they are bored.

    LOL…. all puppies and dogs will become destructive when bored.... but yes, as we say, a tired Basenji is a good Basenji..... and if left to where they can get it... it is "fair" game for a Basenji.

    And your boy will be related to my C-Me (Klassic-Tanza Color Me Tri), who is sired by Dunkin/Katie son, Tommy

    :eek::eek: WOW nice…. I saw both Tommy and Dunkin. They looked great and just the way I want Kenji to grow up to look like. :D

  • yep, my suki chews on everything: table legs, books on the bookshelf, toilet paper (unravels the whole roll and goes running), towels, carpet, the wooden base board corners, and my laptop while i'm using it! but she's so darn cute!

    Wow, those are some adorable pictures. Thanks you for sharing your little bundle..can't wait to hear that you actually have him at your home.

  • Beautiful babies!!

    Sue put some pictures up on her FB album a few days ago, just had to go and have a look for him :D You are very lucky, he is a stunner!

    I guess Maya must be related to Kenji too as she and C-Me are related aren't they? :confused: I find this all very confusing! I think Maya's mum Millie and Dunkin are quite closely related… Possibly :confused:

  • Very cute photos.

    Millie and Dunkin are full brother and sister, but not the same age… and yes, Maya is related to Kenji also (and C-Me too)

  • The photos have caused a great deal of oooh and ahhing here at work. I want that little red girl. I love all the colors but am really drawn to the red/whites. :) But no puppies for me.

  • Kenji is adorable! Well, they all are!

  • What beautiful puppies- I particulalry love the red/whites (I mustn't let my tri-colour Miggy hear that!!)

  • Kenji is absolutely adorable!!! You are going to have so much fun with him!

    @karann - The key in my opinion is to visit with Basenjis before you get one... Of course I always recommend that regardless. But for allergies, ask the owners to prepare a small towel that the Basenjis will sleep on for a few days... take that home and put it under your pillow.... will give you a good idea if your allergies will kick up

    You can help allergic reaction with most breeds by simply grooming regularly and wiping down with even something like baby wipes. But no dog is hypoallergenic.If your allergies are mild you can do what many of us do, just take antihistamines. :) If severe, sadly you should not count on a basenji to no set them off. Some nonshedding dogs do better, but they also have dander and saliva, so they also are NOT hypoallergenic.

    I was struck by the fact that your Bernese lived to be 20 years old! Wow! I know they have had concerns with cancer in the breed, and very few of them live that long. How wonderful for you that you got to have her for that long. Terry
