Adding a Saluki puppy to (2) 11 yr old B's

[clokatys]

It can work. It may just take some time. They may enjoy a new puppy, It may make them
feel young. I would not worry too much. A saluki is also a totally different breed and may
not be as hyper as some basenjis are when they are young. Good luck. I have added a puppy
with older dogs and it worked out just fine. In fact they all became inseperable.

Thanks for the feedback….I hope to manage the intro carefully, and work to make it a happy pack! I'll keep you guys posted....

This is crazy because for some time I was looking at Salukis and I was wondering what my B would be like with one… They are gorgeous.. I saw a few for adoption in Kuwait.

When my oldest basenjis were 13 and 14 I added a basenji boy puppy, then 6 months later two whippet girl puppies. The oldsters took it all in stride and never had an issue with the puppies. They were really happy to see the whippet girls come along to keep the basenji puppy busy. I normally wait till my pack of 6 is down to the last two to add a new generation.

So jealous of your coming addition. And yeah, I think the only one who can determine whether or not it will work is you. You know your dogs best, and how much attention you can and will give them each. I look forward to hearing of the integration process!

I plan on being very careful, and not letting them be alone together unsupervised for a while….I think the Saluki puppy will be about their size when I get her.....I will make extra effort to mak esure the Basenji children are given all the love they normaly get, and show the puppy is not taking their place as head dog......

OMG the mama Saluki is so beautiful!
