Thank you. Yes, our breeder is litter box training. Our first Basenji was a mix (Basenji and Retriever), but she had a lot of Basenji ways. She was already housebroken when we got her, so we didn’t have to worry about that task. We will definitely continue the litter box training until he is old enough to be outside and it is warmer.
Thank-you everyone for all the good advice!

Wonderful news!!!
-
Barooo's from the dogs at MIJOKR Basenjis - (and the 2 visitor baby girls)
Can't wait to see new baby pictures.

Hey Tabatha….
We are all here "waiting" with you!!!! It will go fast... -
Thanks Pat! March seems so far away… But it will be worth the wait to get a healthy little girl.
Tabatha
P.S. What do you think of my little Husky/Pitbull mix Uzza (new profile pic)? She gets mistaken for a Basenji all the time!

She is very cute!!!!:D

Just looked at where you live and it's MN - where in MN do you live? I live in MN too.
Geez I hate to dump on you again - but if you already have a female at home - you should NOT get another female. Even if it's a different breed - I always advocate opposite gender.
-
I live in Golden Valley. Where are you located?
As far as having two females… I have two right now; my other dog is a Beagle mix and they get along great. Both dogs are very mellow and Uzza is going on 12, and little Lily loves all animals including cats and rabbits!

When we brought Jazzy home, we already had Gypsy, a female golden retriever mix. The girls get along great, and we've never had any issues between them.
Another female Basenji however, just aggravates Jazzy by existing. I wouldn't worry overly much about it.
-
2 females and adding a 3rd will require you to have a plan on what you will do when it doesn't work - and chances are very good that at some point in time it will not work.
So as long as you have a plan for how you will divide your house into 2 groups should you have to - you'll be fine.
I am straight west of you in Buffalo and I am the Autism Resource Specialist for Robbinsdale Schools so I'm in and through Golden Valley all the time.

Well, Tabatha…
Mom and I will welcome you to our extended family.. whether it is a Sug or Donna puppy that comes to you this winter!Neither Mom nor I are hardcore on having opposite sexes together.. she has quite a few girls that run together and I have 8 intact males in my home.. and only two dislike each other. One is leaving our harem soon...
so the rest of the 7 will continue to live in harmony...
although I think the next two months of breeding season (girls... ack!) won't be harmoney around here!! -

Thanks for the welcome! I've heard many good things about your beautiful Basenjis, so I am very excited about our dog relationship together.
I'm glad to hear there are exceptions to the rule about females living together. I am a strong pack leader so I'm sure my dogs will respect my leadership decisions.
Best wishes,
Tabatha
P.S. Please let me know when the girls go into heat and whom the handsome stud will be - I can hardly stand it!!!

Hey Kathy,
Who are you breeding the girls too? Have you picked out the sires yet?…..See you next month at the nationals... and are you coursing anyone????

I remember waiting for our little pup from Khanis Basenjis. Time will fly and before you know it, you'll have a little pup. Gosh…I can't believe Chance will be 1 soon.

How old was your little pup when you got him? How much did he weigh?
As you can see I'm more than anxious!

I flew to Kathy's when Chance was approx 8 weeks old. I couldn't wait any longer:D
I wish I could remember how much he weighed. I had an interesting trip back home with the little guy. He had really bad gas (the kind that could clear a room) :p Everyone kept looking at me like I was the one who smelt bad. Hahaha He slept the whole way. I kept him in a sherpa bag but as soon as we took off, I held him in my lap hidden from everyone.
I just recently started showing Chance. I can't wait to see Kathy during Nationals. Hopefully she will be bringing some of Chance's litter mates
-
Yep, we will be there for the nationals.
I'll have Chance's bro that I kept,
"Adam," aka Khani's Goody Two Shoes.And, hopefully I will have his Grandpa "Breaker."
He's only been to one national since he won Winners Dog at the
2001 BCOA National. This is Momma NahNee's daddy…
so fingers crossed I can grab him on my way down!As usual, I will be bringing the rest of the crew....
even the two-legged ones.I am pretty disappointed that there won't be the Parade of Titleholders as my son was pretty excited to be able to show our old veteran, Benny, in it.

I am already excited about Nationals…Now Chance will be able to play with his brother. This is going to be quite the family reunion :):):)

Such is life, Kathy…. we can't afford a parade of titleholders... it was a stretch for everything we are doing... We do what we can....

Afford what??
That is what the entry fee is for…
we charged $20 and that paid for those big fancy ribbons with the dogs names on them....
I did it then becuase I wanted my daughter to show a dog at the national and get a big ribbon...
I had plans for both of them showing in it this year...
instead my son will just have to show HIS special (his handling pictures will be coming soon!)...
not sure if he is up to it....
but I don't mind paying the $25 if he REALLY wants to play with the big dogs! -
