    Hi everyone!

    I'm new to this forum. I have had 4 basenjis all together.

    My first one Sebastian a red and white boy - Beautiful my first baby - born 1994 and passed away 2001 due to complications from Fanconi.

    My second Shanghai a read and white girl - Born 1996 - I think she's gone (long story for another day)

    My third Morpheus a brindle boy my oldest now he's great - Born 1999

    My fourth Shai a read and white girl my youngest and the smallest - Born 2001.

    I absolutely love Basenjis –- would never go without one well actually 2:D

    Happy to be part of this group!

    Hi Amber, welcome to the Forums!

    Lots of fun Basenji talk here, I think you'll enjoy it.

    Give Morpheus a hug, oh, ok, Shai can have one too. Tex sends his brother a big Barroo!

    I'm Rocco. I'm a rescue and I'm working on my biting problem in North Carolina.

    When they are with their littermates and any adults, during play when they bite to hard, the one getting bite will scream at the biter… and adults will strongly correct... this is when they learn "soft" bite... so sounds like your Rocco did not get this... This happens if removed from the adults and/or other littermates too early... So as stated, all play stops... also, I suggest that if the bite is too hard, scream/yell very loud and then stop all play

    Welcome and congratulations! I have two BRATS myself, and a third basenji as well. So beware, they ARE like potato chips (You can't have just one) I love her name, she is gorgeous. Can't wait to hear all about her Homecoming!

    Before you get a puppy… go to the Basenji Club of Canada and Basenji Club of America websites and read up on Fanconi and other heritable diseases. ANY breeder not testing for these disease is NOT someone you should spend your time or money on one of their puppies. Too bad you didn't look 4-5 months ago... there was a lovely litter of Khani's pups up in Drumheller! Best of luck to you!

    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

    @mauigirl: Welcome to the forum! Do you know if your female had Fanconi?? Thanks for the information. Skylar was her name and she did not have fanconi. We do not know what caused the infection, but she lived for three and one half years after her diagnosis. The vet originally stated about 6 months, but we treated her with a blood pressure medication, 81mg asprin and later on malox. She was active and spry right up to the last 3 - 4 weeks. We do as everyone should, check our dogs with the strip test. Also thanks for the welcome…:)

    Hi and welcome! When you let her out, I hope you are out also. Sadly, underground fencing is very dangerous… call the closest 10 shelters to find how many dogs they pick up with collars. They get excited, run through it, then can't come back. Also, while it might normally keep your dog in, it won't keep others OUT. But with supervision, they are GREAT so that they get freedom but you are there if a problem arises.
