New update: Tika is no longer in heat! Yay! Remy got neutered and is doing great! We got a dog trainer to come in assess the situation and she thinks it is starting to improve compared to how I described it when I booked her to come. Only Maia seems to need the muzzle, she seems to be very unsure of the puppy. We are working with her to build her confidence. The puppy doesn’t seem to have any stress with Maia around and won’t start anything. The muzzle is on just in case when I am home alone as I don’t want anything bad to happen when if I can’t separate them. The puppy is getting lots of training time to help her learn how to behave properly. With 2 people here we can have the girls on short leashes and they are fine together. They did have a small altercation of snarling but no biting and no one got hurt. The older female backed down and walked away. As much as I want her to be the top dog it seems that the puppy has a much more dominant personality. If they figure out the pack hierchy hopefully everything will settle down. The trainer says there are no pack instincts in domesticated dogs, but after having 6 basenjis I can’t agree with that in regards to basenjis. We can walk the girls together without muzzles now so I think things are more positive and they seem to be improving every day. When Remy is healed from his neuter I will get the puppy spayed and hope that calms things down even further. So far there is a lot more peace in the house. Please anyone let me know if there is anything else I should be doing to keep these girls on track. Thank you for all your advice and guidance! I am so grateful for this forum as what is normal for other dogs is not so much with these guys!
The Modern Basenji Magazine
-
Basenji tales is now merging with a new venture from former Bulletin Editor Wanda Pooley to launch the Modern Basenji Magazine. This will be offered in both online and print versions by subscription. I will be compiling the performance data and writing a few articles for this quarterly magazine. For our first issue we will have the performance statistics roll up for 2010. I am trying to get good photos of the tops dogs for each event, OB winners, Hatch winner etc to do a pictoral. If any of you would like to have photos included, please send them to me at istew@fidnet.com and I will work them into the collage.

Can't wait to get my first copy!!

I can't wait to see Zoni's (and her sibs) ad!
-
FYI, the first full issue of The Modern Basenji Worldwide is free to look at online. Subsequent online editions will be more abbreviated (see page 82). I really like the inclusion of the international content in the issue.

Clay..just got my issue today.and wow..awesome..Zoni's ad rocks..good job..
-
Looks great! Zoni is lovely and I saw Zest's ad and thought her list looked impressive. I sort of forget; it's hard being a basenji in this house with Digital (he of the many, many titles)
-
And a great 1st addition it is…..

Thanks Petra and Kim! The ad does look nice. Wasn't sure how I'd feel being plastered across the whole background of the page, but I guess it's not too bad.

I was definitely impressed by Zest's list of titles!

Looking fwd to getting my issue when I get home tonight

I just purchased the magazine. It will probably take a little while longer to make it here to Canada (international mailing). I can't wait to get it.
