    @lvoss:

    Congratulations! I have been watch Abby's puppies grow on the BCOSW website since they were born. For anyone interested in Abby's story you can check it out at http://www.bcosw.org/

    Lisa, thanks for bringing her story down. I had to cut the thread short - couldn't finish. (I'm at work - shhh…):cool:
    Thanks everyone! Originally, I wanted to adopt a 1+ year old. I was directed to the BCOSW to see Abby - but I didn't qualify to adopt her, because I have an e-fence. It is a no-no for Basenjis. Since these are B-mixes - it's OK to adopt one of her pups. We think Abby's pups have (2) daddy's. A black lab or mix and a spaniel, brittany or springer. Mine has freckles - so spaniel. I love her tri face! Duke, hopefully will treat this baby with "respect"! Duke's demeanor is Basenji and wanna-be alfa. I'll be needing any advice for their introduction to each other. Hopefully they'll be snuggling together like well behaved kids.

    We haven't decided if we'll keep her name, Vixen. My husband thinks Daisy and Duke make a nice name combo. We'll see - I can't wait to get her home.

    Thanks Jill.
    Wish I was closer to her location.
    Will she be kept until placed?
    She isn't in any danger is she.
    I mean, after all she has been through, that would be a shame.

    The Basenji Club of Southern Wisconsin has her in a foster home. She is in no danger and she and her pups have been getting excellent care.

    Oh Jill! That is so awesome! I also have been following Abby's story thru the BCOSW! I am so glad you found her and her puppies! She is a beautiful Basenji, and I am sure her puppies will be just as adorable!

    Thanks Andrea! I've been pining for another Basenji for some time now, was just waiting for the right time. I saw Abby's story and tried to get her. Wanted to skip the puppy stage because we just went thru it with Duke. We were turned down because of our e-fence. BOO-HOO! Since we are still in puppy training shape, here she comes! Duke is in for a real surprise! His very own live-in playmate! Hope they will become fast friends. I just love Basenji quirks. Hope our girl will have plenty of them. :eek: (Did I say that?)

    If you leave things in their reach (any puppy/young dog) will get into trouble.... pick things up.... put them away, they do not know the difference between their toys/chews and things like remotes/glasses/etc... they have your scent on them. You have to work on crate training if you can't secure a place for them.

    @Humanoid: Love those pictures :) I've been to Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Surprised to see how many of you that actually was cycling….but it is kind of flat, so you don't have the same challenges as us up here :p Yeah, everybody has a bike here. I'm used to cycle around 20-30 km a day (school). So we make up for the flatness, by cycling for a long distance :p @Humanoid: In the winter, we just have to do other stuff … That's just great!! Looks like a lot of fun! It has been a long time since we had real snow and ice in the Netherlands..

    I admire the ability of other breeds that can stay off leash and close to their owners in a normal setting. I suppose the traits I love about my basenjis would be gone if they had the ability to not be interested in moving things.:) I know I am not supposed to say this, but I do enjoy seeing my basenjis fly through the air over furniture like little mountain goats. It is pretty amazing to see them indy 500 through a room.

    This probably won't help, but Deke is really short for Zindeku it means "protective charm" in swahili. Thats not his registered name. His name describes his personallity now, but not when he was a puppy. He grew into it.
