    Hi Maya

    I'm really looking forward to meeting little puppy in the flesh - she looks so like her mummy.

    I still have a collection of puppy teeth from my first puppy - he's 7 now!! :o

    They should all be out by the time she's ready to go in the show ring but there are always exceptions to the rules.

    Well, she's a real fussy, cuddly baby so im sure she'd be more than happy to meet everyone and get LOTS of attention :rolleyes: She has to be the centre of attention at ringcraft, she walked up to someone last night and they dared to ignore her and not give her a fuss :eek: So she got up on their lap :rolleyes: She's a funny little thing!

    Sadly, i havent managed to find any of her puppy teeth… Random :rolleyes:

    I remember with my last puppies when I saw a tooth on the rug. I panicked as it was huge I assumed it was an adult canine tooth. So Douglas & I went frantically round all the adult dogs checking their mouths but nothing. Then I thought to check the puppies and right enough it came from Chance - he now has really long adult canines!! They do like to keep us on our toes and frighten us from time to time.

    We keep Benji's teeth in an old camera film spool case. :D

    We have a collection of Milo's baby teeth too! Not sure how many more to come out. His gums were quite sore a couple of weeks ago and he was really unsettled at ringcraft that week. Seems better now though. He's 5 months old now too so that seems about right. It's a shame they can't tell us if their mouth hurts.

    I have never seen my Basenjis baby teeth once they've changed them. They've probably swallowed them at the time (or else been eaten by the respective mums!!!!!!)
    I'm looking forward to seeing this year's crop of puppies in the show ring. It's nice to know that we have several this year. I wish everybody success.

    I'm glad I happened on this thread as well. I found one puppy tooth from Shaye on the floor, but as of tomorrow she's 5 months, and I've never found another - I guess she swallows them….we have noticed her teeth are looking far more dangerous these days.

    @Maya:

    I was just wondering what age basenji puppy teeth are all out generally?

    Maya's front teeth are all through but at ringcraft last night i gave her a little bit of chicken which she was chewing very strangely and i noticed her mouth was bleeding a bit so had a look and one of those big teeth at the back (no idea what they're called :o ) was hanging out :rolleyes: So i gave her a little bone/chew thing and it came out easily enough but now im wondering how many more we have to come :confused: I know with my pug pups their adult teeth are usually through by now!

    In our experience the teeth should all be out between 6 and 8 months.

    Bendji becomes 6 months tomorrow. He lost his last canine a week ago and I managed to collect it ! So now I have 3 puppy teeth in my collection, 2 molars and one canine !:)
    IMO it won't be long until Maya will have her permanent teeth:rolleyes:

    Ripley is just a little over 5 months and I think he only has one baby tooth left. I just found one on my bed yesterday! :)

    Puppy teeth are lovely but it is a relief when all the little 'needles' go. :)

    @tanza said in Lure Coursing Age: @donc - Age to compete for AKC and ASFA lure trials is 12 months of age Thanks. Seems odd to me to have the same minimum age for Fast Cat and Lure Coursing. The latter will put a lot more stress on the dog than the former. Then again, large dogs and small dogs are not the same, so having a good age requirement would be difficult to come up with.

    If your dog does not lose weight after cutting back on the food, have a complete thyroid test done. Do not cut back the food drastically but slowly week by week. I have used plain canned pumpkin as a filler. My three dogs get no more than 1 cup to 1 1/2 cups but they are on different foods. Jennifer

    @Patty: Personally I would take her to the vet to get her checked out for bowel or urinary infections. If she is losing sight and hearing she may be frightened. It sounds as though you need to step back a pace to calm your reactions. I can appreciate that you are getting fed up with all the work but she is an old dog. My present oldie (15) has taken to peeing (and pooing) indoors at times but I know I need to put her outside more often as she doesn't have the control she once had. She has also become blind and is certainly more aggressive with the others because of that. Any way first things first and do take her to the vet, please. Let us know how you get on. I have to agree with everything Patty wrote. Changing behavior ALWAYS needs a vet check. Increase aggresssion can be due to thyroid issues, pain, tick-born diseases, constant hunger (due to other things), etc. You didn't say in your post if you'd recently seen a vet and discussed her new issues. My oldest (16 in December) has failing kidneys (nonFanconi) and does need to pee more often. So, I put pee pads down in the house in his favorite pee spots. He's usually pretty good about that, but he does still pee in other spots if I'm not watching him carefully or if he gets a bit aggitated about the sitting arrangements. Would your pup stay in an exercise pen? That would give her a little more room than a crate.

    Frozen carrots work well also. But usually teething is not a big deal for pups

    @Solomon: I will wait, for a few more weeks, I am going to take him in to have id chip installed and will discuss with my vet. I gues I am just looking forward to have that part of puppy-hood behind us. He is a very normal basenji!!! Thanks for all of the advice! Glenn Certainly you are no different to us.. we are ALL happy when those puppy "needle" teeth finally disappear!:)
