    Willy's gorgeous and so shiny!! I'm partial to black and whites. My Abbey is nearly 3. She looks a lot like Willy but not as much white on her chest and snout. My first basenji Pumpkin was a red and white and till I saw Abbey I didn't even know they came in B&W.

    If I were to get another B it would be a black & white, he is just gorgeous. My Sahara is red & white, and I love her coat, but I also love the B&W. I don't know if I can handle another B in the house, but Sahara needs a playmate. What do you guys think?

    How old is Sahara? I think they do very well in pairs, Male/Female IMO would be the way to go. They keep each other company and they always have a buddy to play with!:)

    That's whats cool about Basenji, so many choices and so many different looks and sizes!

    I think some of it may be the camera shot itself or the editing. I do know my wife uses a shampoo before shows that is for black dogs…...they also have for reds as well. Good feed will also improve coat quality, we feed Royal Canan dog food.

    We are all so very lucky to have such a wonderful and unique breed of dog that IMO is like no other......addicting too!:)

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    @Duke: Yes - Love your avator pic - very clever! :D I'm a little confused, because you have 6, but how many males & females in each pack? Just curious - Do they get along most of the time? Is there is an established alpha male/female in each pack? What an orchestra you have to lead. Bravo! :) The africans are just different IMO, if by size if nothing else, so that's where it starts. Max and Cleo and Penny….each about two years apart, Max being the oldest. Cleo runs the show with those two and all of the Dogs when they're all together. The second pack is run by Raven, with Willy and Jasper as her boy toys. We got Raven when she was 9 months, and Cleo never really accepted her, and the size difference is a factor…..they got into too many fights. Now Raven has her own pack, but seems to understand Cleo is still in charge of the whole group. All of the dogs are either spayed or neutered except Willy and Jasper.....that helps! Willy and Jasper both show so they have to remain in tact;) , so some testosterone levels may be a problem down the line and we may have to seperate them at times. It's too early to tell which one will be the alpha male in Ravens pack, right now I'd almost say Jasper....he's pretty pushy.:)

    @nala121498: They are absolutely beautiful. I love the "saddle" marking. I think they are perfect! I love the Africans, they're different to be sure. They certainly aren't for everyone, very independent.
