    Introducing my partner JaBok. He is a little over ten years old and intact. We were both born Dec. 7 sixty years apart. He is off his feed can any one offer advice. Days later, I am sure that the problem was some bad feed someone gave me for him. He is again his usual mischievous self See my post under health issues.

    I want to add photo images but nothing seems to work. To view, friend Me on Facebook and I will grant you access, Michael McClure the one that resembles Santa Claus in a cowboy hat.

    I have had more dogs in my life than I can count. I have always appreciated them to no end but none ever captivated me the way JaBok has. I find myself amazed that I am so stupid about him.

    Hello to both you and JaBok, who sounds incredibly special. What a connection, being born on the same day! Great you have found the forum.

    I have posted a reply to you about his eating problem right now under your other post.

    Welcome to the forum. I shared a birthday with my very first Basenji – 27 years apart. My parents owned her littermate so I got to celebrate many birthdays with a Basenji or 2. My girl passed away one month before her 18th birthday, healthy to the end.

    @abonnard Pee pads got me through in the end, she would pee every 20 mins for the first months, then 40 mins, then she suddenly went to being able to hold it for many hours. One of the best purchases I got before she arrived was a small carpet washer, saved my sanity. The cleanup is so key otherwise they go back to the same spot.

    @Motala - That is good that you talked to Jan and glad to hear that she had not been spayed. I still think that your Vet and you should connect with Dr. Gonto about your girl's blood work and blood gas results and if he has any thoughts about it.

    @msjames, @tanza did you a solid favor outlining expectations. Networking really is key to finding a "reputable" breeder. Most show their dogs and are connected to other breeders through showing. They all seem to know who is planning a litter and who isn't. I completely agree with Pat that you should meet your breeder in person prior to the puppies even being born. You can learn a lot. Is a Basenji right for you? If you want a dog to hang with you in the driveway with the garage door open as you chat with neighbors, or stand calmly with the front door open as you receive a UPS package... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Basenjis will bolt. they'll be gone in a second. They see it. They chase it. And if you think you have them trained... no. They've trained you. When they see it they will chase it. Basenjis, in my experience, need exercise. Mine get two walks a day. When they don't, they can be destructive. They're not shy about expressing frustration or displeasure through chewing up your best stuff. A big secure yard can mitigate this, but that's not a guarantee. They love seeing outside, so keep your blinds and drapes open otherwise they may open them themselves even if that requires chewing through them. They will climb onto windowsills, tables and low counter tops. They are capable of scaling a six-foot fence. They are known to climb trees. These are extreme examples, but better to know now. They are super affectionate. They can be trained... to a point. They are clowns and provide endless entertainment. A Basenji baroo is the best sound ever! They love to snuggle and will sleep on your bed and under the spreads and sheets if you let them. They love to share body heat. Tail twitches when I return home are the best!

    @basenjilovers - She is very cute, please make sure that DNA testing was done for Fanconi and PRA. And if not or you are not sure, you can get the test kits at www.ofa.org. You do the test as it is a cheek swab.
