Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.
Hello from Chicago

Hi all! I live in Chicago with my 8 month old Basenji, Maddux!

Welcome
Maddux is adorable…
-
Can I ask where you got your b from?
-
Are those fawns real???
-
What great pictures, welcome. Who did you get your B-Boy from? Many of us are related by our Basenjis.
-
Maddux is a cutie and those ARE fawns!!!! What a sweet boy!
I grew up in Chicago too….northwest side.
-
Maddux is certainly beautiful - great that he did not choose to chase the fawns. When we first got our little girl people said she looked like a little deer - I've often thought of "painting" spots on her for Halloween.
-
HAHAHAHA!!! I was just down at a dog show and the lady I was competing against said that two of her B's took down a full grown deer! Sorry the picture is kind of ironic. He is a beautiful boy.

I had 4 deer grazing 10 feet from my laundry room window this morning, all 6 dogs were standing in the window watching silently. Ten minutes later the neighborhood cat wandered thru and the whippet alarm went off. Guess she does not see the deer as prey, but the cat would not last 5 minutes with her

Welcome to you and Maddux. He's very good around the fauns. They wouldn't have stood a chance against mine.

WOW - those are some amazing pics! welcome. please let us know your secret for socializing your basenji with fawns. Mine obsess over the neighbor's goats.

LOL, mine would have been more the crazy over trying to get to them… but then again, maybe not. We were at a lure trial and there were cows grazing in the field next to the lure field. Both girls were totally into trying to talk to the critters... so far as to lick their noses through the fence.
