    I want to formally introduce myself and say hello, my name is Wayne. I have already posted a thread about aggressive behavior in my 13 year old male toward a 15 week old male.

    My partner and I have had two of the best Basenji dogs. They did not chew, were house broken when they came from the breeders and were very easy to live with. The female was 13 and a half and passed away three weeks ago of a kidney disease :(. The male is 6 months younger and for the most part a real sweet heart. He has never shown aggression to any human and is very obedient, but does have issues with other dogs and recently with our new puppy.

    We are interested in coursing and agility routines and hope to become active in those sports.

    To all of you that have already responded to my original thread, THANKS…

    Welcome to the forum!
    We lived in the Inland Empire area til May of last year and I attended just 2 lure coursing events out there. They were with the Inland Wilderness Hunt Club. Googling that club would be a good place to start getting involved in coursing.

    Do you know if your female had Fanconi??

    Our young boy also came from Arizona…we had a similar long car ride to go get him. I have never seen so many windmills in my life as there were on that drive!

    My mom does coursing and racing in Southern California. I know there is some racing at the end of May not sure about events sooner than that though.

    @mauigirl:

    Welcome to the forum!

    Do you know if your female had Fanconi??

    Thanks for the information. Skylar was her name and she did not have fanconi. We do not know what caused the infection, but she lived for three and one half years after her diagnosis. The vet originally stated about 6 months, but we treated her with a blood pressure medication, 81mg asprin and later on malox. She was active and spry right up to the last 3 - 4 weeks. We do as everyone should, check our dogs with the strip test.

    Also thanks for the welcome…:)

    It's hard to wait but take it from me; enjoy not living your life by the clock while you can..once the puppy comes you will find yourself looking at that clock and setting timers to go out to potty, eating…enjoy peaceful sleep and freedom..because once the puppy comes its a prison sentence for a little while (not to sound like a downer..lol) I was so excited to pick up Oakley that I picked him up a few days short of ten weeks; I wish I prepared a bit more mentally for such a huge event..Oakley was a tough cookie...so glad puppyhood is over! I miss the tiny body and cute little wrinkles but that's what pictures are for!! Lol Congratulations and don't rush it, be excited for it but enjoy the time Between then and now

    Hello again after a very long absence!! My 'chewing' boy now leaves his coat alone - his Mum (now spayed) wears his old hand-me-down coat, and he has his onw snazzy camoflage polar fleece jumper that I made. Can't possibly have it off thankyou!! His half-brother Jerry had his first coat on today - also a 'chewer' - we'll see if it is still on in the morning. Jerry's sister Chloe also got one on today after I managed to keep her still enough to pull it over her head!! Jerry is NOT allowed to touch it thank you!! @kiwir: The thing that annoys me is that he always wore a coat as a puppy - he's just turned 12 months now. But boys being boys, in the last few weeks he thought Mum had come back in season (she hadn't!) so in frustration he gradually chewed her coat - from the back forward - left the polar fleece around her shoulders and chest and neck. And the silly girl just let him - looking at him indulgently - "My boy" I tried making them without the polar neck (designed to stop chewing of the front) - or reinforced them with thick cotton tape - and that lasted a little longer. Now he just looks at me with those eyes saying "Hell, I'm freezing Mum!"

    @youngandtired: Hi! Welcome to the Basenji Forum, this is a great place for chatting about our furbabies, and getting information. So, your baby is 4, please tell me that they will stop chewing, and surfing the tables. My Sahara, would be just great if she didn't do this. I love her just the same, but I have lost things I can't get back that she has chewed. My Basenjis right now range in age from 12 1/2 to 15 3/4…. :p They still surf, however they have pretty much stopped chewing... :D But that is just cause they are old.... and the teeth are not as great!

    Hi and welcome! When you let her out, I hope you are out also. Sadly, underground fencing is very dangerous… call the closest 10 shelters to find how many dogs they pick up with collars. They get excited, run through it, then can't come back. Also, while it might normally keep your dog in, it won't keep others OUT. But with supervision, they are GREAT so that they get freedom but you are there if a problem arises.
