Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg
Hi there from myself and Loki!
-
I finally took the plunge and purchased a basenji about a month ago. Since then, and even before, I combed these forums for helpful advice and information. I thought it was only fair that I join up myself so that maybe I can one day pass along some helpful advice to repay the great info that I've obtained here. Loki (17 week old black and white male) and I look forward to getting to know all of you better.

Pictures please!
And congratulations! -
I love the name Loki. Please share some pics soon.
-
Congrats and welcome! Loki = Norse god of mischief and lies - apt name for a basenji!!

Welcome, who did you get your Basenji from? Many are related by our Basenjis

I got him from Chris Abbot, she runs Lothlorien kennel in Snellville, Ga. I will post some pics later tonight after I get home from work.
-
I know Chris (from when she lived out here), but under the last name of Cooper…. What are the sire and dam's names?
-
The sire was C-Quest Jokuba Zensational and the dame was Select Lothlorien Elentari.
-
Welcome to you and Loki - iI agree - it's a very suitable name for a Basenji.
