    We brought our puppy home a little over a week ago. She is Mata Hauri Mei, out of GCHB CH Mata Hauri Klassy's Last Tango and Mata Hauri Esprit Tiger Lily.

    She's a gorgeous little trindle with a great big personality, who loves to snuggle. She's already so well loved by her humans, both big and small. Mei has 4 kids to keep on their toes, ranging from 10 to 2 in age. She's already started in on the hard work of getting us trained to her liking, lol.

    I've referenced this forum a bunch over the last few weeks (having a puppy and having a basenji puppy just aren't quite the same thing when it comes to research!) so I figured we would introduce ourselves and hang around for more good advice about our sweet girl.

    She had her second round of shots and first vet visit tonight, and our vet has NEVER in 17 years seen a basenji before! I knew they were uncommon, but that kind of surprised me! She did amazingly well and we're so proud of her.

    Here's our pretty girl. I tried to choose some photos that show her trindle markings.

    Mata Hauri Esprit Tiger Lily

    I just love it when a new owner bothers to give the parentage of the new baby ! First thing I do is to add the pup to the on-line Pedigree database, then I go to the AKC website for the birthday or any other missing details.

    Great to see Mom AND Papa are both clear for Fanconi AND PRA ! But we know Debbie always tests her dogs.

    I have loads of new litters to add this afternoon but by this evening, my time, you should be able to trace her ancestry, right back to the Founders !

    Good luck and lots of happiness with a pretty wee girl, and good luck training your Vet !

    So cute! You all are making me puppy jealous!
    She looks like she has some brindle in there? Is she a trindle?
    I liked your vet story too. The first time I took my first boy to our vet she said "Why did you get one of these?" (she can be a bit blunt- but she was actually curious why I chose a basenji, and she had never seen one either!)

    @jeimygirl I have added him to the database and he will appear as soon as I finish playing catch-up with today's incoming litters. So you will be able to see his ancestors very soon ! It is very easy to add his registration number and change his name at need. Email me photos as he matures and get photos of Mom and Dad too if you can - they really bring the pedigrees to life.

    We feed fresh meat always. We started out with kibble, but we find our B's are more healthy with meat and related chews (soft bones, cartilage, heart, etc.).

    Welcome to you and Snicker. I'm pleased that you said 'accident' - it's definitely not Snicker's fault. If you follow the advice gicven by previous posters you'll very soon have the perfect housetrained Basenji. They are generally very clean little creatures and in my opinion are the easiest dog to housetrain.

    @dorvaan: He's gonna be incredibly picky about his toys. We got him 5 different ones, to begin with. He ignores all of them, except for one. Now, little rawhide bones? That's a whole 'nother story….. If he spent a lot of time in a kennel he might not be used to playing with toys. If he likes food-based toys you could try a stuffed kong or or something like these… http://www.premier.com/View.aspx?page=dogs/products/behavior/busybuddy/squirreldude/description http://www.triplecrowndogs.com/product/1591/Everlasting-Treat-Ball.html You can get them on Amazon or a lot of other websites. I saw the treat-ball at Petco. And if you are interested in taking the puppy to a eye doc, I can get some recommendations for you. There are a lot of basenji people in the southern part of the state and I can get some references for you when I meet up with the basenji club this weekend.
