Just because the breeder's other litters didn't show signs of allergies doesn't mean yours won't have an allergy to the corn. Dogs like people are individuals and allergies aren't necessarily genetically passed along. But as someone mentioned, a lot of allergies are environmental. But it is important to "test" to find out - make detailed notes on when the hot spots become most irritating; is it right after the dog has been outside after a rain where soil molds become an issue; are there certain blankets or crate pads that cause an issue; and don't forget to run a food test eliminating corn, as it might not be the corn but some other ingredient.

No there is no place in Chicago like this.
Not my picture.

Oh…I was going to say you have a beautiful yard. LOL Still..love the pic. Thanks for sharing!
-
Oh trust me… right Lisa... as much as you love them.. by the time they are 10wks, you are ready for them to go to their new homes... and excited for their new owners....
Yep, by 10 weeks I am ready for them to go to their new homes. Then I get to do the proud grandma thing and get postcards and pictures.

My vet likes my dogs. They are well socialized, easy to examine, and generally well behaved. My trainers like my dogs for mostly the same the reasons though part of why we go to class is to maintain the socialization and good behavior. I do not kennel my dogs, I have a house sitter and she also likes my dogs and comments on the same characteristics.
I have encountered people who have had bad experiences with the breed but I do not think it is the norm. Breeders have worked very hard to breed good temperaments. Responsible breeders also do alot of early socialization to give a good foundation to their puppies when they go to their new homes.

Ditto to all of that, except, we do use a kennel. The woman who runs it loves our dogs! I always over prepare her, and warn her about Ivy, etc…and they are all perfect angels while they are there!

How could anyone part with one of these little angels?
Those look like Cindy Griswold's dogs

My Vet(s) and all the tech like my dogs… well except if they are there for a procedure that requires IV dip.... Kristii and Mickii "remove" them regardless of how they try to stop them...
They usually have to have a tech sit with them the entire time... 
I don't kennel mine either, I am lucky to have a house sitter that loves all Basenjis... -
My vet and staff all love my B's also. They've never so much as wiggled on the table, and always greet everyone who enters the room.

Our tri male is great until the nail trimming, taking blood, getting shots, no problem, examining him is also no problem. It's always the nail trimming he hates. He's always hated it.
Our female on the other hand is a scaredy dog so EVERYTHING the vet does is full of drama. She struggles on the table, she never bites, but you have to wrestle her still. One time while getting a vacination shot she actually broke my wife's nose in two places by jerking her head around. She was still till the shot, then WHAM! Now my wife wont take them to the vet anymore, I have to.
On time while nail trimming, which our female also hates (she wont bite) actually freaked out so bad, that poop shot out of her bottom!
-
Getting a group to sit for a picture like that is no easy task, impressive.
Great looking B's, it is a very cool picture and setting.
-
Getting any basenji to sit still that is not sleeping is a task!
-
I got that picture from the Basenji Picture site I had in my Basenji Web Site Thread. A lot a really professional photo's there.
That is a problem with posting pictures on line, anyone can copy them. If you post a picture you have to accept a million people could be copying or using your picture.
True, of course you could have posted that it was not your picture….

Actually, though anyone could copy it, it does not make it any less a violation of copyright. If someone uses someone else's picture there are ways to correctly cite a source.

barklessdog did post that it wasn't her pic, in a response to me. I thought WOW…Chicago looks like that..barklessdog said "no its not my pic" It is a great pic! I guess I'm an idiot for thinking Chicago had a wilderness like that one.

Saying "Not My Picture" is not adequately citing the source of copyrighted material.
