    Did you get Bitty from a breeder or a rescue?

    Congratulations on a great "failed foster" experience! Perfect fits like that are wonderful, he is a lucky little boy to have landed with you!

    All of our babies have been rescues, we,ve had Bitty 5 years, Baroo will have been with us for 3 in February and now we have Baroo's "Buddy". LOL, his call name was Tigger but I've been calling him little buddy so much he's starting to answer to Buddy.

    First Basenji's

    There was a Kansas breeder with brindle B's that recently got "out" of the breed (supposedly). I wonder if he came from that kennel, since the call name is familiar? Whatever his provenance, I think "Buddy" hit the jackpot. =)

    Bitty looks familiar to me. I have been able to recognize a few of my Arnie's younger relatives on BRAT's website. Do you have any history on her and how old is she?

    No ennifer, we don't know anything about Bitty. The young couple who owned her before us didn't give us any history. They called her 'Casey' and all I can say is that they were not true Basenji people, weren't familiar with any of the breeds quirks. They said that she was just over 2 when we got her and wew've had her for 5 years, in February. The poor baby had a number of problems when we adopted her, the main ones being an extreme attack response if you moved your hand quickly near her, plus the same type ov response if you touched her when she was covered by a blanket, indicating someone used to cover her and then hit her.

    When I hear stories like yours I smile. For things like this, I believe there is a much higher power working its magic. So glad you and your trio are happy together!

    @jalex said in New pup!: @senjisilly i read in quite a few different places that looking at their teeth is an issue. She wont let me do anything actually but she does let me hold her. Its been a rough week. As with any dog/breed you need to be sure theyre a fit for your family and so far if she is a B I'm struggling to believe itll work out but we're trying! I appreciate the input and guidance, thank you! She's a puppy. Her behaviors are puppy behavior... period. Puppies bite, they do what they can get away with. She is darling, she definitely looks very basenji. But if you really have doubts, contact basenji rescue and let them find her a home while she's still a puppy. Frankly, I suspect you are letting BASENJI close your vision. They have quirks, but overall no better or worse than most breeds. All dogs take patience and that you be at least as persistent as they are. At her age, she doesn't get the option of "won't allow me to do anything." Without yelling, hitting or rough behavior, you really can turn it all around. Right now is the time she must learn you can check her teeth, look between her toes, check her ears, etc. At some point in life, it may be critical, so training her NOW is important. But it can also be relationship building and fun. :) Mary has one of the easiest to follow sites. You just start working on training so that she comes to see you as the one to guide her. To entertain her by helping her use her brain. It will be okay. :) Training on left, issues on right: http://www.clickerlessons.com/index.htm You have a world of help here, you can do this. :)

    :( Tahat is so sad. Sayblee used to baroo a lot, but when my husband came home she ALWAYS barooed for him. I could be gone longer, and she wiggled and was ecstatic to see me, but I sure couldn't count on a baroo. :( LOL maybe you can click & treat the barooing for your mom and teach her to do it on command?

    I think an original idea should be developed that is associated with bs. The weims dressed up is so classic for them. Bs should somehow be associated with messes. Maybe they should be paired with new furniture advertising or TP sales!!! Weims became so popular tho, they are having probs in rescue. They are very high energy and most people can't give them enough exercise. I think my idea would prevent Bs from becoming too popular and lots more ending up in rescue. :D
