    These are great! I'm glad I'm not the only one with crazy nicknames for my boys!

    Moe - MoMoe or Baby

    Cody - Codyboy, Bubby (I tried to say baby and buddy at the same time, and it stuck), Bubbs, His Royal Grumpyness, Mr. Grumblebutt, and Grumpypants (he's not really grumpy, but the only noise he makes is a grunt or grumble).

    When they are both in the very back yard playing, they also answer to "Boys" when I call them.

    Cody has a few-
    dodo head(when he was a puppy he once pooped in his crate and somehow managed to get it on top of his head), Dude, buck a roo(I had a doggie cowboy hat I used to put on his head), F*&King Dog, little man

    Aurora-she's overweight so her names go as follows

    Chunky monkey, bubble butt, honeypie, her grumpiness (she 13 yrs old and doesn't like to move from her comfortable spot), her highness, princess

    I am sure I am missing a few. Some I can't write in a public forum.

    Irena - I am quite a red dwarf fan, so the name kinda came from there.

    I also remembered another name for Nakura. Maybe only UK people will understand it. We call her 'simples' after the meerkat in the 'Compare the meerkat' advert. When she folds her ears back like a whippet. HEHEHE :D

    I recently started calling Cody "Cartman" (from "South Park") when he has that attitude of "I do what I want, I do what I want. Whateva!"

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !

    @seattlebasenji said in Potty Training Difficulty - 12-15 mo old Basenji: *** Any ideas about how I can effectively potty train him? *** You mention that you take your dog to the same area when you take him out to 'toilet', I suppose thinking that he'll associate that spot as his bathroom(?). But I think you would be more successful if you took your dog out for long walks. Your dog needs exercise anyway, and movement begets movement (if you know what I mean). Besides, walking is a very social activity for dogs. They walk in packs and when you walk with your dog, you become part of their pack. Some people like two half hour walks each day. Personally, I try to get one really long walk in every day (weather permitting), typically 3 miles or 90 minutes. Sometimes shorter, sometimes longer. (I got bored walking the same route. Now we go different places (local dog parks, woods, and such) and explore new routes. Mix it up a little. The walk provides time for the two of you to bond. It's an opportunity for you to reinforce training, provide encouragement (and praise). And it allows your dog to eliminate (or toilet), naturally, without pressure.
