Hi There, I am new to the group. My dog (Zootie) actually belonged to my husband (he passed last month). She is such a good dog. She about 10 and just starting sneezing like crazy and make a sound almost like she is going to throw up. I do have an appointment at the vet, but goodness it cost $400.00 last time. I am hoping someone can make heads or tails out of my description and may an idea of what is wrong.

We live in Kentucky.

@serenjane Hi again, ummm, your picture of Seeka didn't upload all the way, I'm just guessing it might have been interrupted when you answered a question. Would you try again please?? We all love to see Basenji pics!!

She has been fixed. As for the falconi, I dont think any of the basenjis that I have have every been tested for it.

as for the country hounds and hearts place. I went by the address listed on the site and it appears that no one has been there for a while. Very scary looking place.. overgrown, strange smell, fence pieced together with kennel/crate doors, vacant car.

I called the number and it was disconnected and I tried a second number and have been waiting for over a week for someone to call back.

We are going to give it the college try to get her "normal" but I want to make sure that I am not doing her a dis-service. I have time before we are slated to move but I also want to make sure that she would be happy.

I know deep down that I have not been a great owner to her but I love her very much and don't want to see her harmed in any way.

Thanks everyone for the coments and suggestions

I actually have experience with this. I placed a dog with someone who - in spite of what I said about they can NEVER be off leash, they thought that way out in the country with an electronic collar would be fine.

They didn't notice that the batteries were weak, gravel truck down road, basenji dead.

Basenjis are not an off leash dog - they are hunters and if they see it or smell it they are gone. NO you cannot train that out of them. They have been hunters for thousands of years and will ALWAYS revert to that.

re: allergies. Here is something that I do when people say they have allergies.

Use a cotton swab (q-tip) to swab inside the dogs mouth and set on a paper towel.

Take a very fine tooth come and scrape on the skin of the dog in several different places and wipe off the skin dander and hair (even if you get a little) on the paper towel as well.

Fold it up and put it under the pillow of the person with the allergies. If they break out or have a runny nose - the dog most likely won't work for you.
