My heart breaks reading your wonderful story of Dinah - it is so clear she is a huge part of your heart -you will have such wonderful memories of her when it is her time to give up the pain. I also do not believe dogs don't have souls - of course they do - the unconditional love they give, the way they try to help when you are emotionally suffering, the joy they get when they see you coming after a separation - all these and more are proof they are very soulful. A loving companion dog is God's gift. All our hearts are with you, and our tears flow with yours. God bless.
Hello Everyone

Hi everyone. This is my first post and I want to introduce myself and my basenji. Diesel is an 11 month old male who I've had since he was 16 weeks old. I'm in the process of getting a divorce and left my female Carlee with my husband. I am a homecare hospice nurse and visit patients in their homes every day. Diesel is a typical basenji puppy-mischievious and fun loving but he sure can get into trouble!!! We are looking forward to reading all the information here in the community. Have a great day.

Welcome. I just wanted you to know (as you've already discovered) Basenji=trouble.

Quite true. We call our pup Trouble On Four Feet.
Welcome computerguru! I also have a boy pup around the same age. Still waiting for him to start using his head…Were those two your first B's or have you been in the breed for awhile? -
Welcome to the pack - you'll find lots of great information here. And feel free to share you stories of beastie antics.

Welcome computerguru! I also have a boy pup around the same age. Still waiting for him to start using his head…Were those two your first B's or have you been in the breed for awhile?No I have had basenjis for approximately 22 years. He is different though than any other I have had. He still bites even when I have taught him "no bite" and he is beginning to not be friendly to anyone but me. I have never experienced this with any of my others-even the 2 that were rescues. Amy thoughts? thanks

I am sure some of the others on this list can give you ideas.
Did you discuss this behavior with his breeder?
Maybe they can help??? -
Do you think he may be reacting to the big change in his family - the loss of both your ex and his basenj companion?
