@tanza Oh yes. I give her 1/3 cup blue buffalo puppy kibble, 1 tbsp wet blue buffalo puppy, 1 tbsp yogurt or cottage cheese, (alternating) and if I se any sign of dandruf or dryness in her fur, I also add in a few drops of olive oil. I have chicken and vegetables every night, and I've been preparing my chicken unseasoned since I got rogue so I can use it for training on occasion, so sometimes if she's being stubborn I'll bury some tiny shreds of chicken in her food to get her to eat, or sometimes I'll do the same thing with some other high value treats. I don't feed her in a crate, but I've moved her bowl into my room so she's lessdistracted at mealtime, and she has a safe place to eat when my niece comes over. Rogue plays nice with my niece outside, but indoors, she's kind of a really big squeeky toy, so we have to watch her constantly. I also, on the rarest occasions, will give her a little tiny pinch of american, or sharp cheddar cheese. That seems to get her really excited. She doesn't get excited about cottage cheese, but american or sharp cheddar? She goes nuts. fagedabodit. And she get chews and kongs in the crate, but never meals. And she doesn't spend much time in there anymore since she's been house trained. She just sleeps in my bed. In fact, she's passed out next to me right now.

Those are such great pictures. I?m so jealous because I still have to wait a couple weeks to get my pup. She will be so old (12 weeks)
I hope the time passes quickly for you. It is common practice in England for pups to go to new homes at 8 weeks.

Most breeds here place at 8 wks, except toy breeds. I know many basenji folks who place at 8, but many also do 10 to 12. I really think 8 wks is fine for homes with experience and other dogs, but it is the breeder's call.
Wow what a cutie! I love the rearing teeth one! What spunk!

He certainly seems a fiesty little chap, Debra

He is gorgeous :p! Malaika must be happy she has new playmate at home and so do Kwame :).

I believe it is common all over the Europe.

I love that "I am puppy, hear me ROAR" photo. He's just adorable.

Yeah, I’m waiting until 12 weeks for personal reasons, not because of the breeder. I hope I can get equally as cute of photos.

I have a very similar "rearing up" pic taken when Jigsaw met my shepherd mix, Sassy, for the first time. Must be a basenji greeting pose!
