Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.

Hello everyone and thanks for the nice greeting. I am sharing this message board with my husband.
Once I figure out how to post a picture, I'll send one.
We adopted Sophie from Happy Tails - a local shelter. She was picked up by a man who found her abandoned in a field near his neighborhood. He had her for 5 weeks and began the process of crate, house and leash training. We are doing our best to get her acclimated to our home, while training her too.
She's definintely energetic!

Yes, I live two miles south of the NC state line. In less than an hour I can drive in GA, TN, and NC. I love it here.
As I began to respond to your comment, someone ran out of the guest bathroom with a roll of toilet paper.:rolleyes: Guess who?!

My Eski LOVED toilet paper. I have the habit of keeping it out of reach, so our Basenji boy never has gotten a chance w/ it!
So, from a former Eski owner, welcome to Basenjiville!! You are gonna LOVE it here!

My Eski is 13 years old. I found him hiding in the shower last night he was so tired of the little Basenji! Eski's are so sensitive and like their peace and quiet.
