    Thanks so much for the feed back. I know i'm searching incredibly early for a basenji. This year would of been an absolut horrible year for a puppy though, as all my traveling… bachlor parties & weddings all year it seems like would of really made it hard to raise a puppy of any breed. I decided to hold off till next season end of 2009 or 2010. Since i think after all these years i'm the only unmarried one left :confused:.

    One of the breeders I contacted actually scans the forums here, she can rest asure though I won't pester her :D. I will try to contact each breeder once a month as they get to know me and determine If i'm a good suit for a basenji. I'm still very excited about a basenji after 4 or 5 months and I still have like 10 months to go :eek:.

    @Knava:

    I have talked to several breeders w/in 6 hours of me and I landed on sherwood in Georgia b/c of the bitch she is breeding next and the information she was able to provide. QUOTE]

    I have two of Robyn's dogs from different litters: Cory and Jayden. I also also have only good things to say about her and her dogs.

    hey Knava

    Liz and I and our basenjis will be up in Knoxville next weeked, coming up Friday 3/27 and returning to Atlanta late Sunday. I don't know how much time you've spent around basenjis. I know that for us all the time we spent around them was very informative when we were thinking about getting one. We would be happy to meet up with you at a dog park or something, if that interests you.

    And you would be welcome to pick our brains about all things basenji. :)

    I also have two Sherwood dogs-Ch Sherwood's Black Tie Affair (Shadow) and Ch Sherwood's Something Sweet (Sugar). Nothing but good things to say about Robyn and her dogs. I actually just had a litter from Sugar and the temperments are excellent. Their first outing was today to the pet store for some collars (two have already gone home, 1 will go on April 4, and the last is in the works) and to a training centre. Both were really good with no whining and were passed to people left and right with no snarking at all. A little overwhelming for them, but excellent in all.

    Mauigirl,
    That'd be absolutly awesome. I do still work friday and sat, but on sunday I'm sure you have a weekend scheduled. I only have a soccer game at 1 to 3:30 and I can work any other time around that. Just let me know. I'll pm you my cell phone if you want… Also everyone here can call me Matt instead =D.

    Hi Matt,

    We have had second thoughts about coming up due to weather. Sunday looks good but Sat is calling for scattered thunderstorms. I need to talk to Liz about it when I get home…..will let you know.

    Matt,

    It looks like we're coming up this weekend. Finally, gosh. That took long enough. This time there is a surprise birthday party planned so slim chances of plans changing last minute.

    Can you meet up saturday afternoon? We were thinking about Victor Ashe park. I have asked Alex/Vanessa to send you my e-mail address.

    @eeeefarm said in Wet weather exercise: @elbrant said in Wet weather exercise: I wish I could take the credit for Doodle. But she was trained and taught before I brought her home. If she is still reliable you can take credit for that. So many times a well trained animal goes to a new home and within months the good manners and training evaporates. Seen it many, many times with horses, not quite so often with dogs but they don't tend to change hands so often. Unfortunately people often reinforce bad behaviour without being aware of what they are doing, and then complain because the "stupid" animal has developed bad habits! I concur. If it isn't maintained, then behaviors erode.

    I know too many puppies and dogs injured or killed due to collars left on unattended. Not worth the risk.

    @jhewell What more is there to say ? You have put it brilliantly ! A friend who has Persian Blues, I think they are called, and Basenjis operates on a two tier level. The cats are fed on the kitchen work-surface and enter and leave the house via the kitchen window onto a garden table. Once outside they are more than able to take care of themselves. Indoors the cats have perches and climbing frames the dogs don't manage to fathom. All is perfectly harmonious. No cat dares come into my garden. They haven't for years, through endless and changing packs of Basenjis. Occasionally one will come down the drive and sit in the sun by the cars but they never try to come over any gate into Basenji home turf. You are going to have endless 'fun' ! Good luck -

    Like much internet advice I find short answers incomplete - and mine was. I really want to ad that making a crate/xpen/gated puppy area should never be seen as "punishment". These partitioned puppy areas should be conditioned to be safe places for a puppy/dog. Mine, thankfully, tolerates and even likes her xpens probably because it's where she eats, receives treats, sleeps, chews and even plays. This took about a week or so. Now she voluntarily goes into her xpens (in my case) on her own and when she's put there involuntarily she might whine for a minute before settling down with a chew and/or going to sleep.

    @jkent I have certainly never even heard that advice and would not have taken it if I had. It depends on the conditions underfoot, the breed, the size of the puppy (some breeds have very large ones !), off leash or regimented walking, stopping to admire the view / watch the puppy socialise with dogs he/she meets. SO many things to take into consideration. I wouldn't pay much attention to generic advice from the KC. Our breed is 'different' !
