    I love Brendas dogs, they are so nice and friendly, and she will take them back for the life of the dog, I think she has 6 adults right now who are looking for homes due to owners deaths, divorce etc. Anyone looking for a sweet adult male could get a great companion from her.

    oh my goodness BaNHANerZz, you must be mad ;)
    Seriously i'm sure you will have fun with two as long as you are prepared for lots of hard work.
    We have just got our second Basenji, he's 12 wks and Malaika is 15 months. It's wonderful to see the two of them playing together , and in a way it's easier with him as Malaika amuses him and they excercise each other.
    We are still adjusting to having two, so many things are different, for instance they have to be trained seperately and each given time on their own. Sometimes it feels that there aren't enough hours in the day.

    I had Gambit enrolled in a rally class that starts in 2 weeks, she is in CGC now and doing very well, so I just signed Tempest up for a STAR puppy class on the same nights at the same facility. My husband will take her thru the puppy class, while I'm in the rally class. With training classes over a 2 hour drive away, its best for us to train at the same time, yet in separate classes so they are not paying attention to each other rather than us.

    I am hoping that they won't be the death of us. Lol we have been talking and talking about it and wondering if we could really handle two. I think we are working well together for Athena and I hope we can do the same for the next.

    The one thing that you can never be prepared for is the noise two can make… it is like nothing you have heard before. At times, it will sound like they are killing each other...

    I can tell you that my first two were born two weeks apart... and honestly, my girl, Maggii did not really like our boy, OJ all that much. While she was happy for the company, she really did not enjoy playing with him and spent more time "screaming" at him to leave her alone... Which of course he paid no attention to! When I brought Mickii into the house, all she wanted to do is play with OJ, but by then he was 1 1/2 yrs old almost and she was the "shark" with puppy teeth...ggg. So then it was OJ screaming at Mickii to leave him alone.... Once the puppy teeth were gone, it was much more "calm"....

    My current two, C-Me and Franie are totally different... all they do is play... they run, chase each other, wrestle with each other, chase squirrels with each other.... no need to worry about them being "A tired Basenji is a good Basenji"... they never sit still unless sleeping. And then it is like the dead! It is one continuous B-500 from morning till night

    I definitely will. I'm so excited. Athena got her cone of shame removed today and so we are ready to go pick up this puppy soon.

    Integrating Basenji with house cats

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    @zande - You bet! We must be showing our ages! Or Been There/Done That! Very few times we disagree, but when we do we respect the others point of view!

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !

    @seattlebasenji said in Potty Training Difficulty - 12-15 mo old Basenji: *** Any ideas about how I can effectively potty train him? *** You mention that you take your dog to the same area when you take him out to 'toilet', I suppose thinking that he'll associate that spot as his bathroom(?). But I think you would be more successful if you took your dog out for long walks. Your dog needs exercise anyway, and movement begets movement (if you know what I mean). Besides, walking is a very social activity for dogs. They walk in packs and when you walk with your dog, you become part of their pack. Some people like two half hour walks each day. Personally, I try to get one really long walk in every day (weather permitting), typically 3 miles or 90 minutes. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. (I got bored walking the same route. Now we go different places (local dog parks, woods, and such) and explore new routes. Mix it up a little. The walk provides time for the two of you to bond. It's an opportunity for you to reinforce training, provide encouragement (and praise). And it allows your dog to eliminate (or toilet), naturally, without pressure.

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.
