I am new to Virginia, but not B's. My 11 yr old girl is the love of my life. In training I used lots of tools trying to out smart her. The funniest one was the singing bass. She would go potty in my all white dining room. No matter how I tried I couldn't stop her. I was a stay at home Mom too. I finally set up a singing bass on the floor. I set it on motion detection. When she would go there it would start singing a startle her….She could not figure it out. She quit doing it immediatly and also alerted me...I still laugh to this good day! I also put her leash on my belt for at least 30 minutes a day. She would go where I went. So now no matter where I go in the house, there she is. Each month I was fortunate to go to new Basenji puppy parties. There she could run with about 20+ B puppy's. Even a small dog park would have worked. I took her everywhere with me. I took food from her. So she would know I was the pack leader. I ate first. I would move her when sleeping and gently put her back. I just can't say enough about pack rules. I know other dog owners thought I was nuts. 11 years later I still am having to remind her daily who the real boss is. She is very well behaved and NEVER off her leash. I learned early on, no matter what. She will take off like a rocket if something gets her attention. One time it was a blowing leaf. That inclination will always be a part of the breed. I recommend crate training. I didn't let her sleep with me for quite some time. I learned that short consistant commands are clearer. A shaker can made of aluminum with pennies in it was better than my voice. They will use a short sided box with cedar shavings in it instead of the inside floor. when little. Mine loves raw veggies in the afternoon, Once older. I have used dry food for a long time. She rolls over, shakes, down stay, stand, off, in your chair (for car rides). All for the love of a treat. She enjoyed lure coursing. She enjoyed being shown. She loves my best friends yorkies but no other small dogs. You'll have so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What great companions they make......Yea! and Good Luck from one who is still trying to outsmart her!

Finally I managed to fix my avatar so you can see what my boy´s look like.
When you asked who´s Myrans mum I just wrote that she was from a swedish kennel.Her lineage is australian mainly dog´s from the wazazi kennels so myran is half australian and half american. -
Hi there. My 1 1/2 year old Manning was also sired from Meisterhaus Tail of Intrigue. I just joined the forum as well. Was Myran's dam one of the Australian Imports to Meisterhaus? Welcome…glad to see one of Manning's kin here in the forum.

Welcome, you both sure are cute! Looking forward to see more pictures!

Hi
Great to see Myrans halfbrother.No the dam is in sweden Tre or as his real name is Meisterhaus Tail Of Intrigue was exported to sweden in spring 2006 the buyer was the owner of the Dam.
Tre is now aswell as an american champion also a swedish,danish and hopefully he became a german champion on june the 3rd people over here travel to other european countries to try get international champion titles.
Tre lives in southern sweden and Myrans mum lives in western sweden.
I myself live just outside Stockholm which is the capital of sweden.the australian lineage comes from dogs that have been imported to sweden.
It is quite common here to import dogs as we want to broaden the breeding material also that we have very strict rules when we breed as how close related the dogs should be.
Myran is starting this summer his show career so we have been doing klicker training so that he knows when to stand still and when to trot etc….
He´s a wonderful pup very easily trained hasn´t chewed on anything at home doesn´t have to be crated which we rarely do here in this country except when we are visiting dog shows but I crate him every day for an hour or so ,so that he is used to it and he goes quite often to sleep in his crate I suppose he sees it as his lair;)michelle from stockholm

Good luck with the training. I can't wait to hear how he does in competition. Manning is our first basenji and as a puppy we had a wonderful experience when it came to basic training and behavior. In terms of temperament he has been as perfect as one gets with a basenji! Anyway, glad to hear things are going well. Can't wait to see pics as he grows!
