  • @tanza:

    And how lucky that are to be fostered by you guys…. what a wonderful start on their adventure from Africa....

    We still haven't figured out how our name got pulled out of the hat:D …...but we're certainly glad it did.:cool: :) :D
    Thank You for the kind words Pat, we're truely honored to be able to do this for Mia.

    It is so much easier once the pack accepted them, they all go out together and do they're business.......they're really fitting in nicely!

    It was 6 degrees this morning!:eek: None of them wasted much time out there.....out and right back in!......burrrrr.:)


  • It's -3 here in Chicago and yesterday -18 with the wind chill. Not basenji weather.

    Love the new pictures. The little red girl is doing a great velociraptor pose from the movie Basenji Park!

    Great photos as usual!

    Thanks for sharing this experience.

    We woke up to snow this morning….....the Babies are not fond of snow just yet.:D They follow the others outside to go, but once they feel the cold and wet, they try to run back in the house. They're doing great for just coming from Africa to North America.

    They've become more comfortable with the other B's, they will get in a chair together and cuddle up.....it's pretty darn cute! Willy and Jasper are just great with them, Asuma loves Willy! Willy was washing Asuma......teeth, fur, ears.......Jasper even joined in.....it was a washing fest!
    Penny and Raven are good with the pups, they seem to be keeping an eye on things, but don't seem to play with them much..........they let Willy and Jasper do that. Penny likes them when they're outside with lot's of space, but inside she doesn't like to be overwhelmed or cornered by them and will run away. Raven seems to be more patient for the pups and they're play, but corrects them when she thinks they need it.

    It's amazing how they just seem to blend right in and adjust to everything, they are so much fun to watch. It's going to be so difficult to see them go.:(

    They do!
    @Basenji_Boy:

    They won't want to leave you either :(

    I Know, I know! The wife was away on a trip to Westminister and I had my hands full manning the Basenji home front.:D


  • @Basenji_Boy:

    I Know, I know! The wife was away on a trip to Westminister and I had my hands full manning the Basenji home front.:D I promise more pics of those wonderful Af babies!
    We're taking a day trip to visit our friends at Eldorado Basenji's this weekend.
    I will have lot's of pics when I return…....I promise........you'll be able to get that puppy fix C&Z:D

    Here is the gang waiting for them at this side of the pond!

    That's great, any idea when you will be able to have them come home?


  • @yularamia:

    Don't they all look so good with they're hunting bells on…....so cool.:D


  • Aren't they just beautiful with their bells! Those pups are going to have fun when they get to their final destination too!!


  • That has to be a long flight, 12 hour + but I guess the one from Africa is just as long.

    Do they jut transport them in regular carriers?

    What about when they go to the bathroom?

    The plastic crate, marked "live animals" on it…......not much to do about them having to go bathroom.....pee pee pads in the crate.

    Oh no, these pups are not peeing in the crate. They came from Africa in a clean crate and will end up in Helsinki in a clean crate as well. :-))

    They have not peed in the crate we keep them in at night or in the day while we are at work…...they have been the best babies. They are doing excellent with housebreaking.

    Asuma is a big talker!:D :D :D :D

    Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your replies! Rex just had his first vet visit (first with me at least), and he was given a clean bill of health. The vet that I saw also agrees with a lot of you that he looks like a Min Pin more than a Basenji, but he is likely still mixed with something because he's a bit too big to be a pure Min Pin. I've looked at a few DNA Dog Breed tests online, and they seem to range in price and in quality. It seems like some of the cheaper (~$50) tests are fake, but they go all the way up to almost $250 for the higher quality ones. Do any of you have experience with these DNA tests / have a brand you found reputable? I'll be sure to post the results of any of the tests with this forum! Thanks again, and Rex is doing really great in his new home!! [image: 1559586518913-img_3707-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586546977-img_3720-resized.jpg] [image: 1559586568474-img_3708-resized.jpg]
