In the days before computers, I kept a book (now its all carefully entered in to special folders on the 'machine' and provides me with a complete history) - total sickness record, including jabs and innoculations (and cost of pills / treatment), of each dog. Weight at birth of puppies, ease of whelping. Onset of seasons, boys starting to react (chuddering and showing interest), date relative to onset of color of the first time the girl's tail went over. Just about every aspect of each dog is carefully logged and catalogued.
First Basenji, some questions.
-
Hi,
I recently bought my first Basenji, he is just great.
I bought him at 12 weeks old (Yes a little late, but he behaves fine, and socializing very well)
Some questions i had is that he is now 13-14 weeks, his tail is'nt really curled, the first day in the house his tail was very low, but i could understand that because the new environment has to be a little stressfull for a puppy.
The tail is'nt really between his legs anymore, and mostly standing up, though it is not really curled "Basenji style".
I have read that some Basenji's have less curly tails than others.
His 2 brothers who were also still for sale at the breeder did have curled tails, we noticed that the one we picked didn't, but we liked his energy.
And i dont really mind if his tail stays like this because he is an awesome dog, but do you think or know some basenji's just grow their tails curled a litte later?
Attached a photo of how he mostly carry's his tail.Any comment or answer about him will be appreciated
