@zande - I have place pups at 9wks, but typically to prior Basenji owners, they know the "ropes"... also I do eyes at 9wks, so 10 works better for me in placing pups and yes...(LOL) mine are raised in the home, no kennel.... and the breeders that I know that use kennel runs, still have their pups in the house for house time and "education".....

She confirmed my thoughts on I. Playing Tug with a rope toy. A lot of books say "don't let the dog ever win at that game". I never obeyed that rule. :rolleyes: I let let Buddy win quite often and he happy brings it right back for me to grab onto and we both have a lot of fun. Sometimes I'll win and throw it and go hide from him and he likes that game too.

I LOVE Tug, but all games need rules. These are the rules we use: http://www.urbandawgs.com/articles/tug.pdf
