    Hello Everyone! My name is Amber and I have recently been owned by a basenji named Paso. I grew up with Basenjis and just adore them. Paso came from Bryan and Laurie at Jumoke. He is a 2 and a half year old finished champion. My husband is active duty navy, I grew up in Alabama. My mother lives there with her basenji duo (a tri colored brother/sister pair of finished "Undercover" champs). I have a three year old son and am currently in college to be an RN. I am looking forward to being a part of the basenji community.

    ![](images/smilies/rolleyes.png "Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)") why, yes, i have a very full life-full of little catastrophes!

    Hi Amber! Welcome to Basenji Forums!

    Do you have any photos of Paso? It would be great if you can post them in the Show Off Your Dog thread.

    Let us know if you need help posting your photos.

    Hi Amber
    Welcome! My name is Angee from Brisbane Australia and my husband Lance and I have just been adopted by a 2 month old Basenji we call Bandit and already he's living up to the name!

    We also have a 2 year old Lowchen we call Alfie the clown and he's being climbed over and bitten by the new arrival - Alfie is taking it all in his stride and has begun playing with Bandit.

    All the best
    Ang

    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    I'm Rocco. I'm a rescue and I'm working on my biting problem in North Carolina.

    When they are with their littermates and any adults, during play when they bite to hard, the one getting bite will scream at the biter… and adults will strongly correct... this is when they learn "soft" bite... so sounds like your Rocco did not get this... This happens if removed from the adults and/or other littermates too early... So as stated, all play stops... also, I suggest that if the bite is too hard, scream/yell very loud and then stop all play

    I am a new and somewhat infrequent member but when I first joined, my elderly Basenji girl just started having seizures. I had moved to East of Nowhere and had no one to turn to and I am now SO LOYAL to this group and all the support and advice they gave me as a result. The good news is that Zeenie is doing well and her condition is under control: she is able to continue bossing her 3 other pack-mates as a result. I just kept searching for the right answer, very encouraged by the group I met online here. Thank you to everyone who assisted us. XOXO, Lauma and Zeenie PS: My brother Shaman is a new member of this forum (he just adopted Henry two weeks ago) and the boys are getting along well… Thank you for your support of them also!

    Thanks for your warm welcome! I'll ask my daughter to take some digital pics of our Sheba to post! We'll try to get some good forehead wrinkles – when she's got those terrific ears up and forward! Her tail's straight and droopy, though -- that's where the "mix" really shows! So far -- she sometimes reminds me very much of a cat (I know far more about kitties than basenjis.) Even the way she bats a tennis ball about -- "soccer-style" -- is quite feline. But she is NOT aloof. She's definitely a people pooch! A snuggler. I am delighted she's joined the family. Will post pics soon, I hope -- Thanks -- Sheba's Mom
