I do so agree with you. I can't imagine my life without basenjis, we have 2 p/b and my African import, Wheat, who is just a village dog. BUT she is OUR village dog! laugh
Pups!

Mum: Lomar Sugar n Spice
Dad is a Zandeena line (Zandeena something-something lol - its in my contract so ill be able to tell more on friday)
Well today is WEDNESDAY so two more sleeps!! Can i tell you that this week has been the longest - ever LOL
Yup, related… my Fatia's litter was sired by an Aussie Import from Tamsala (Tamsala Rocket Socks) as was lvoss litter from Rally.

Congrats Lysh, she looks absolutely adorable :)… Are you still planning to show her ??? Entered any shows yet ???
Could the sire be Ch Zandeen One For The Road, (Cooper) ??? He lives up in Qld with ? Chris Peterson, I think... Or could he be the Zandeena/Baagna import, Wanyika Hakim, who was sent up there for a mating this season ??? Just dying of curiosity
Anyway enjoy your little bundle of mischief, look forward to hearing about all the 'naughtiness' she will get into, to keep you on your toes

Yes Cooper - thats him
he's a lovely dog and i got the pleasure of meeting him when he was down here for a show.I dont plan at this time to do any shows with her. I do plan however to get into the local dog sports club so we can have a go at agility and flyball etc just for a bit of fun, after we have completed our puppy classes
-

2hours til im on my way to get her
-
How exciting!! You're in for a wild ride..
Enjoy it! Can't wait to see pics of her! -
Well.. what an interesting week so far LOL
Shes a ball of energy, but once we wear her out shes out like a light LOL "a tired basenji is a happy basenji" - yep im so living by that! lol
she cried the whole drive home and then she settled in nicely at home. We ended up letting her sleep in our bed and she hasnt had any accidents yet! (onto the toilet training! but she usually lets us know she needs to go anyhow) now she sleeps in the bed at the start of the night but after a sleep and a toilet break she doesnt mind being put in the crate beside the bed, so we are slowly doing that (although im quiet happy having her sleep in the bed he he) but its good for her to learn both. I also feed her in her crate etc so she likes her crate. When she yawns she makes the cutest noises
oh and did i mention - im so in love hehehe (my partner is too!)She loves playing tag (tag her and then you run and she chases ya then u change direction and "tag" her again and let her chase ya and catch ya) also loves sticks - obsessed with sticks! she'll grab one and it will entertain her for a good little while! She likes to head shake things when she plays and she runs too fast for her back legs ha ha ha.
No troubles so far. Have started to leave her alone for a little while during the day just so she doesnt get any seperation anxiety stuff happenin cos sometimes no one will be home - groceries! study or work! etc but she'll never be by herself for more than 2 hrs - 3hrs (shes got her own run set up in the backyard). she cried the first time we done it for the first two days (first day for 30mins alone time and second day for an hour) third day for 2 hrs (had to go bury one of my ratties that passed away
that morning - she had cancer) . so yea she grizzles for a little while but then settles in and goes about torturing all our sticks and sleeps So - so far so good. I look forward to her vaccinations being complete so i can take her out to the horses and introduce her to them (plus theres lots of area to run and play out there and my best mate brings her dogs out so good for socilisation too). Also cant wait to start puppy preschool and then go onto doing dog sports and agility through TOADS (Townsville Obediancy Agility Dog Sports LOL) with my mate and her dogs.
So yep. Theres a short summary anyhow
-
Wheres the pics :(:(:(:(:(
Glad that she certainly sounds like she is fitting in very well… I hope she will give you years of fun, happiness, trouble, issues etc, etc, as they all seem too !!!
-
lol i promise piccies tomorrow
i left my camera at home or they would be up lol believe it or not - i havent taken many though! as we've been having so much fun playing that i only remember to when she sleeps! LOL -

She has just a hint of a dreamsmile in the third picture.
Cute puppy. -
She's so very cute, it's great once you can get out and about and realy tire them out.
I like her bed but i bet she makes short work of it
We bought Malaika a lovely soft basket, needless to say she just has vet bed now
I loved reading about when you brought her home. -
Hope is going great. Ive taught her to sit and come
She got microchipped yesterday so she got to see her two sisters, she done very well and i was quiet suprised - she rather play with the maltese ****zu lol
the other half finally got his boat - so we've been letting her play in it. (attached some photos) LOL
OH and i have dubbed her our little Mogwai. - she can be a little gremlin when she wants to be but we wouldnt have her any other way
Also added some pics of them fast asleep together hahaha. aww.
