@glenn-jalivay2 - Many use kibble and raw, usually what they do (myself included) is one meal would be kibble and one meal raw.... I agree with Redial about the age and taking a 6wk pup. In the US is is not legal in most all states to place pups less than 8wks. Basenjis in particular do much better at 10wks at least. They learn important lessons from littermates and other adults in the home from 6wks to 10wks. And I as a breeder do not feel they are mature enough to leave their littermates at 8wks. Always exceptions and that would be to an experienced Basenji home with an adult dog... as the adult will teach the pup way more that humans ever can.

Pretty intersting though, don't you think?
-
Usually related ages is based on weight, lower the weight, younger in years… so looking at this, it is based that way also... if you leave the same age, change the weight the age changes

I do not know but I had a old time vet tell me that there is really no set rule because no two dogs age the same. He said no two people get gray hair or wrinkles at same age as we all age whenever we do. He did however say that almost all large dogs age faster. Not sure who is right or wrong or if anyone really is.

The rule of thumb is usually the bigger the dog, the short the life span

Great Danes I think have the shortest lives.

Or Irish Wolfhounds
