  • THEY have the fun with the ball bath. I do have to wash the balls every day (all of them) because the puppies think its fun to poop and pee in there :rolleyes: well, it's puppies….:D


  • I LOVE the tunnel picture!!!:D


  • @bellabasenji:

    I LOVE the tunnel picture!!!:D

    I don't really understand what is going on in that picture but it is funny. Are we looking down at them from above? The puppy's head right under the mother's front leg is really hilarious.


  • no, I have been laying in front of the tunnel and photographed right into it…. ;-)

  • Those pics are priceless…

    Our puppies always INSISTED on pooping on my son's toy train set! Something called to them that it was THE place to poop! I don't know how many times I ran those tracks thru the dishwasher!


  • wow, I can imagine a "Maerklin" Train in the Dishwasher…..

    The 200 plastic balls do not fit in the dishwasher and are not "thick" enough for that (I guess, the plastic is quite thin and you can squeeze them without any strength). So they go into a plastic dirty clothes basket and take nice showers.... ;-)

    Maybe it would be a good idea to establish a puppy toilet with those balls or even with your train-sets?

  • Puppies have completed their 8th week now. They have their ID-Chip and the first vaccinations. They are somehow potty-trained, are used to eat regular puppy-food meals, and listen to their names.

    Two of them are moving out next weekend.

    New pictures in our gallery.

  • Just adorable! They are so, so cute! I love your pictures…


  • The puppies have moved out in their new homes during the last two weekends. All have arrived safely in their new families and manage the new situation perfectly. It is getting calm here, but I have to admit, I kept one of the Mini-Tornados, yes, it is true. Out of the first litter, mostly one is a keeper…. ;-)


  • Congrats on a such a successful A wurf! Im sure its hard to see all the babies go..


  • They are really growing up fast, and so beautifully!

    @tanza I don't believe there was a limit to the number of letters, though I wasn't paying much attention to whether the field stopped me from continuing. Tanza is nice! I was actually surprised no one has claimed the name :D

    @tanza said in solving the "bad breeder" problem:: you know nothing about breeding ... In all fairness, @tanza, you don't have any idea where my breadth of knowledge lies. I have previously stated that I have no desire to become a breeder, but that isn't the point. Is it? You are venting because I am firmly standing my ground. We've been through this discussion before and I'd wager that we will do it again. Over the same thing, ad nauseam. either allow this or ... I understand that you are frustrated. @eeeefarm said in solving the "bad breeder" problem:: It is also fair to state any provable fact, but that should be left up to the individual, e.g. "my puppy has "such & such" condition, and my puppy came from "so & so" breeder with this existing condition. I agree with this, provided there is a way to prove that the illness could have been prevented by the breeder. That doesn't mean that every illness is breeder related. For example: Parvo and Giardia are widespread issues commonly contracted from one infected animal coming into contact with another, before or after the pup leaves the breeder. A pup with Giardia isn't necessarily a result of poor care by the breeder because it would be almost impossible to determine where the pup was infected. I think we should avoid referring to a breeder using subjective terms like: bad, irresponsible, etc. You cannot prove an opinion. If someone sees a statement (like that) about them and decides to contact an attorney, you and I aren't the ones who would be going to court. @JENGOSMonkey Thank you for your two cents (I liked the image, too). You are right. Most of what I do as a "moderator" is banning people who create profiles for commercial websites to improve their Google rank. I feel like if I kick them off right away, they won't bother us with inappropriate posts. I have banned over 2,000 profiles (so far), looks like I have 3 or 4 more to tend to today.

    @tanza I'm definitely attending the next show as a recon trip. Not sure how the work here but if they're similarly easy to enter as the ones in the US, I do want to show Roux! LOL that's a hilarious saying; I absolutely appreciate a smart lady over cluelessness haha :face_with_tongue:

    @zande - So true Zande, the test is 65.00 and considering the heartbreak and cost of caring for a Fanconi Basenji (try shoving down 20+ pills a day) it is something that anyone breeding, even Back Yard Breeders or Puppymills should always do... Also if someone happens to get a puppy or is unsure about the breeder they did get a Basenji puppy from, spend the 65.00 and have the DNA Fanconi test done... again it is a cheek swab that you order from OFA.org
