    Even though this is coming late maybe it can help somebody so just thought I'd mention that we had trouble keeping Manning in a wire crate. He could unlock the bottom lock and squeeze through the crate door by pushing it open with his body. We ended up having to literally lock him in the crate with a lock when we left. Instead of a real lock we usually used the metal part of the leash that you attach to the collar. I was afraid that he would get hung and hurt himself otherwise. I hate to say it but I actually jailed Manning lock and key.

    Ah the things we do to keep our kids safe. No worries Achandl2… we locked Rocky in the cage with the double snaps we'd use for the horse buckets to keep our daughter out of the kennel and give Rocky some peace. grin

    It's all good.

    Where did you get your basenji from?
    Have you tried to take your b to some gentle basic obedience?
    Our breed is very smart..tho you might not think so, they like to stay busy and will "make" work for themselves if your not helping them get rid of the energy they have.

    I don't by any means want u to take this the wrong way But maybe the Basenji breed is just not for u and ur lifestyle my sister has a akita mix and a husky but she can't take more then 10mins with my B she goes crazy and doesn't understand how we deal with them Some people are just not basenji people it's not a bad thing but maybe u would be better off with a "easier" dog that isn't as stuborn . she sounds like she is having alot of issues that will require some serious patients but if u do decide to "rehome' her please make sure u contact BRAT.

    She hasn't posted since Nov 2006 so I would venture to guess she gave up on the dog.

    One thing that I have learned in life is to accept that things are not all black or all white. Life is shades of gray and just because someone sees a different shade of gray than you do, it doesn't mean their shade is right or wrong, its just different. ~ Robyn Dubbert

    @crazybasenjimom “in the past 2 years my Belle has gotten into fights with the boys, and caused vet bills” Taking her for a blood panel is more feasible and cheaper than continuing vet bills from the fights. If her thyroid is low, the meds are inexpensive and she needs them. There are also other medical problems that can lead to aggression. Vet bills are always feasible, it is part of the responsibility of owning dogs, so I don’t understand why you would say it is not feasible. If you mean you don’t have the money, try talking to the vet and setting up a payment plan.

    Move the crates to different rooms. The female won't be able to see what's going on. Give the male his food first, then feed the female a little later. Don't let them out of the crates at the same time.

    You know, my boyz like dogs the same color as they are. Jet LOVES tri colored dogs - Berners, tri Aussies, etc. And last time they were at Anne's dog park, poor Digital was the only brindle basenji. Jet played with the basenjis and Diggie went and hung out with a brindle greyhound. Remember that Anne?

    Basenji people are dedicated to our breed, and we all seem to be very responsible. Basenjis don't like all other dogs, so we socialize them the best we can and keep them on the leash so they can't attack other dogs or sprint off after a squirrel and get killed by a car. But there are still dog owners out there who just don't understand the principles of responsible dog ownership. You don't just worry about dogs attacking each other but people as well. I posted the story about how I was attacked by a doberman and nearly killed several years ago. If not for the mailman I wouldn't even be here to talk about it. The owner said he didn't think Raggs would ever attack anybody, so he would just open the door and let him out on his own to go potty. I'm so glad we basenji owners are more responsible than some folks out there who just don't seem to get it.
