Bring your paperwork that the breeder gave you to your first visit because they will want to know some things like birth date, always (in the first year or so when lots of shots are administered) bring the vaccination record book Pam and Sheila gave you and ensure they make a copy of it and not just write it down..you will also want to update your copy as your pup receive shots so like I said..bring it so they can fill it in for you. Any questions you have regarding vaccinations I highly suggest asking your vet but also getting in touch with Pam to ask her opinion, she knows her dogs and her lines and she is better equipped than the vet to give you an honest evaluation on which to give. Also try to follow her guidance on neutering and spaying (if you plan to). I know with Oakley I followed their advice. It might be true or not but in my opinion basenjis tend to mature slower and I find they need more time for the growth plates to close before castrating is a wise choice.
Is she part Basenji?
-
Newly adopted puppy, thinking she’s part basenji but not sure. Please share you thoughts
-
Could be!?! Best to do a DNA test. But OMG - she is adorable! A precious pup!
-
Yeah I think I might do a dna test! We keep getting people saying she might be a Jack Russell or retriever, so I’m curious to what she really is. But thank you!!
-
She appears to have a curled tail. What are some of her characteristics and quirks?
-
That’s one of the main reasons I was thinking basenji. Shes high energy, seems to be a bit stubborn but highly intelligent. Not the biggest in barking but when she does it’s super high pitched. Don’t know if that’s a breed trait or if its she just hasn’t got her big girl bark yet. She loves people and other dogs, cries out when we have to say goodbye to them. I’ve only had her for a week so still getting to see her full little personality come out

Super cute! Not sure how much the DNA test costs but I would want to know. Certainly teases us with some Basenji traits. Enjoy your precious little one!
-
Aww thank you so much!!
-
She is SO adorable! Looks like some Basenji there! If so, enjoy the ride!!!!
-
She is a gorgeous baby but I can't see any Basenji there, but stay along for the ride (on the forum). I could be wrong. Do a DNA test if its important, otherwise just love her !
-
Thank you everyone for the input!!
-
Agree fully with Zande.. but she is very, very cute
