@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion
Ziggy gets a B sister!

For all those who know Ziggy (especially the Laurel Canyon B Gang) – news flash! Ziggy is going to get a B sister!
Like Zig, she's a retired show dog. Her AKC name is Reveille Traffic Pattern, but she goes by "Patti" (nothing against anyone named Patti, but I'll definitely pick a new name fo her).
I'm picking her up in 10 days in Auburn, Washington, and will post pics when the new girl is in the house. Woo hoo!

Congratulations! Having more than one basenji in the house means double trouble but at the same time is well worth it.

And double the LOVE;)

Congrats!! Sounds great.. a second basenji!

Congratulations to you & Ziggy!
I recently went the same route and added a boy (Brando - also a retired show dog) as playmate to Ruby. If it goes anything like it has gone at my house, you are in for a blast and so is Ziggy.

Congratulations on the new addition to your fam! I hope you have a safe trip up to Washington!:D

I Hope they get along well, we will require photos (of course).

Congratulations on your new addition!

Congratulations (I'm jealous).

Oh yay….two dogs are always more fun, more love, oh and more crazyness.

Congrats!!!! Two is that much more fun!!!!

That's great!! Looks like you're all settling in fine up there in Seatle. Can't wait to see the member of the family!
