  • Well I am gonna let Scarlett be our most loved and precious without the showing part of things but sounds like something I shall look into for a future basenji…I have so much to learn right now and she deserves the best I can give without the ups and downs of showing. It would be awesome to have a little champion in the house!

  • Walter, some dogs love to show, some, not so much. IMO, I would never say until you see the b full grown and social.
    My friend Lisa Saban has a b that at one time was thought NOT to be a show dog.
    Now he is a double Ch. AND he loves it.
    So, laugh, the b might not give you a choice. giggle.

  • Thanks for the advice!

  • Psssst - Hi from your Oregon pals! Dude & Ono can't wait to meet their new buddy! Have you picked a name yet? Count my vote for Turbo!

  • I just saw your note about naming him something that goes with Mr. Moonlight - I will have to think and let you know if I come up with anything good :)

  • Names that have 2 syllables and end on an up-note (y or ie) are easy on the tongue and ear and have a happy sound. Think about how it will sound yelled in the dark in your neighborhood or in public!
    A locally 'famous' dog trainer told us years ago that he gives this advice to people: if you want a happy, friendly dog don't name him "Brutus", name him "Buddy", he even had clients change their dog's name to a lighter sound.
    I'm sure when you get him, the right name will come to you.

  • welcome!

    mr. moonlight always makes me think of field of dreams

  • and think of how it's going to sound when you shorten it down to one syllable, which we inevitably do.

  • Psst Libby… Turbo is my vote too ;)

  • a name that goes with moonlight… follow my crazy thought process here... dancin' in the moonlight... van morrison... and it's st. patrick's day... van morrison's irish... so how about morris?!? such a little old man name, but i love it. and you could sing van morrison songs to him all the time!

    @hdolbow: he wasnt too happy with me, or her, at first… now they play... he can jump on the bed or couch to get away if he wants time to himself...he wont lay next to her yet shes starting to mimic him.. if hes laying in the sun on the couch, she'll lay on the floor with the sun shining in the window.. :) i think he would like her more if she wasnt into biting everything lol And until she looses those teeth… there will be lots of times he is not happy with her... but the one nice thing about having an adult B in the house is that he will teach her "biting" manners much better then we humans ever can...
