  • I'm so glad you are getting girl 3, she is so pretty and stacks well… and Zoni is such a cute name!:D

  • She very pretty! Congrats! Keep those pictures coming :)

  • She is lovely, it will be neat to see her with her new dog family members.

  • WooHoo…. congrats, she is very, very cute

  • Oh soo cute!!!! I do just love little puppy feet an noses. :P

  • @moetmum:

    I love her!! My first basenji was a splithead too, I fell in love with him when I first saw him. I hope we get to see a lot more of her.

    Pardon my ignorance but can you only have two dogs because you live in a town or is it the state?

    Okay, someone please tell me what that means "splithead." It is the symmetrical markings?

  • @EskiLovr:

    It means that the white splits her head in half down the center…from her nose to the back of her head where the white joins the collar. :D

  • @renaultf1:

    Congrats Clay!!! She's super cute! :D:D Hope the flight on Friday works out and please post pics when you bring her home!

    What is the background on the name Zoni? Just curious.

    Zoni is the name of my favorite beach on Culebra, Puerto Rico, not far from my friend's house that I stay at. We thought it was a cute name for a dog too. :D

    Hope your puppy pick-up goes well too on Friday.

    The local municipalities generally determine the number of pets that are acceptable within their juristiction, not the state. My experience it is usually up to 2 dogs and/or two cats or some combination thereof. Often rural areas or towns are more likely to allow more. A couple I knew were suckers for stray animals and at one time they had about 6 dogs and 7 cats. It was a challenge for them to find a place to live and they had to move out to the country. Althought that is an extreme example. I'd probably have about 3-4 dogs if I could, but that isn't going to happen unless I move.

    I live somewhat in the country in Maine and after you posted about only being able to have 2 dogs, I decided to call my town office. The first 2 people I talked to laughed…like the question was ridiculous. Then I called the code officer. He didn't know the answer but thought it was a great question and needed to call me back after he looked into it. For my town, I can have 5. Any more than 5 and I have to apply for a kennel application.

    FWIW, there was a huge problem with a puppy mill in a town about 45 minutes from me. A responsible basenji breeder (BCOA member and not a BYB) who had 7 b's as pets (hasn't bred in a couple years) was put thru the wringer by ugly neighbors because the town passed a new ordinance (after the puppy mill was broken up) limiting the number of pet dogs. This b owner had the dogs long before the puppy mill ever came to light. After a huge fight with the town, she has since been grandfathered, but needs to register as a kennel if she decides to breed another litter.

    I give all the credit regarding Kipawa's mellowness to our breeders Therese and Kevin (FoPaw's Basenjis). They obviously did so much work in exposing Kipawa to a number of sounds and experiences. The carwash experience was really interesting. I thought he would be scared of it, but instead he seemed really curious. He especially loved the pink, green and yellow foam bubbles against the windows. Maybe he could pick up that I like them too? :)

    I held all three and don't remember any of them squirming. So you should be good! I'll definitely have to come up there now. I'm excited! :)

    Well let's just ay that Obedience is definitely out (LOL) and the fact that she'd have to listen to do Agility…hmmm....that's out too. That leaves only Lure Coursing and well, she's not fun to be with on a leash, especially around other dogs...so again...that's out! But seriously, I've often felt that I've done her (and the breed and breeder) a disservice for not registering her. I guess I'll have to wait until the next one (if I can convince my husband to get another Basenji) to rectify the matter. I never knew about the DNA studies... Thank you all for your compliments and information.
