    Hello to all members of this community!
    My name is Thana Tsagaraki and I come from and live in Greece.
    As i am a new basenji 'parent', I feel that i will definitely need some advice in case any difficulties occur concerning my darling Mr.Eko.
    I have never owned a dog, so choosing such a unique breed i am sure will be a bit challenging. I have read everything concerning this fantastic creature and it has been a week that me and my husband have adopted him.
    A week ago we travelled to Germany and got him from the Mutabaruga Kennel.
    Up to now things have proven to be quite easy for us ,as he seems to have a very sweet and tender nature.
    We simply adore him!!!!!
    Greetings from Greece

    Wow, Greece!!! It never ceases to amaze me how many people on here are from so many places across the world! I love hearing from all of them and love having so many on the forums, WELCOME! I am a first time dog owner also, my husband chose Bella for me for my birthday… and, yes, she is a challenging breed. But I wouldn't trade her for the world, I love her so. It has helped a lot to be here on the forums and learn about this wonderful, quirky, beautiful breed and it's distinct personality. Feel free to ask questions and post pictures of your baby (hint, hint).:D

    Welcome to the forum, Mutabaruga has beautiful basenjis. Their J-litter was a very nice litter. I don't have a basenji yet, but I have looked very much at Mutabaruga Basenjis.

    Mr Eko is very cute!! Can't wait for more pics of him

    Welcome to the forum, you will enjoy it here and make lots of friends.
    It doesn't matter that you have never had a Dog before because Basenjis are certainly not like other Dogs.
    They are wonderful creatures, can be naughty and a challenge but if you fall under their spell you will want more, lol.

    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' !

    @creambasenji said in New Puppy Advice: She's 9 months and 8.5 pounds. Doesn't seem she will be getting any bigger This must be a typo. 9 months or 9 weeks? At any rate, I'd love to see a picture of a cream Basenji, toy or not.
