    Hi all,

    Just wanted to share the good news; Shango and I have adopted Spencer! But we've decided to name him Mowgli after the playful boy in The Jungle Book!

    Here are his pictures, more to follow when he becomes adjusted to his new home:

    He and Shango met without any signs of aggression, traveled in the car for 3 hours together, sleeping in the sun in the back seat. He's very, very submissive and very, very timid; (having a hard time getting him to eat anything, he doesn't know what toys are, and he wouldn't run around the fenced-in field at the end of the street, even when Shango initiated play with him) but he's still very new to the situation so here's hoping that he warms up and comes out of his shell a bit!

    His sister,Olivia is still there is anyone wants to go help the little girl!

    We're very excited to have a new pup in the home, get ready for a LOT of posts from me, asking advice!

    :-)

    Andrew and Shango (and now Mowgli!)

    Well isn't she a sassy little thing? Thanks so much for the information. I had not heard of this one at all. I will Google it to get more info and find where to purchase! Deb

    Ah ok cool thanks, I had something like that when Safi was smaller and it was the most successful for sure. She outgrew it quite quickly though

    I can't listen to that, it would wake my girl up and well... I'm not into a "sing along" just now. ;) I will say that many canines howl and yodel and bay (at the moon, whenever a fire truck passes, etc.). I'm not certain that any one breed is distinctive enough to have a sound all their own, but many a proud owner would probably assert so.

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.
