Puppy Checklist

    Thanks, this is a wonderful resource. It's going to get posted up on my fridge as soon as possible. We are definitely not super messy people, but we do have a tendency to leave headphones/laptop chargers/remote controls/etc lying around, and I'm sure it'll take a harsh reality check once we bring home puppy to get my SO to start putting his things up and away. :P

    another one - if you leave the toilet door open and you have the toilet brush beside the toilet be prepared to loose it. The toilet is the only place we have to block off as she likes to grab the toilet brush and play with it :) -yuckkk- sigh lol (and shred the toilet paper off the toilet roll teehee).

    I guess that could go under barricading/blocking off rooms but we never had an issue with the toilet room until a few months after we got her (when she must of finally discovered it)

    hi Lysh, oh yes! We are practicing closing the bathroom doors behind us. Thanks for the reminder/heads up.

    Maybe your b just thought that was a nice big toothbrush you wanted him to use. :)

    That'll get you started. You can get grooming supplies like teeth cleaner, nail clippers, etc. later on as you need them, and the same with things like baby gates and bark control tools. Food, collar/ID, a leash, a bed and a kennel should be the big priority.

    Fran are you getting another puppy?!?! Cell phone is a good one….Becca ate hubby's cell phone and sunglasses a few years ago. Tucker ate my work cell phone just last summer, I had had my job for like 6 months and my dog goes and eats my cell phone....explain that one to your boss!

    My Basenji doesn't have slaves, he has staff! :) And he lets us know when our work isn't up to snuff.

    Im not sure what DEFRA is but I read somewhere that the quarantine and all that had been lifted in great Britain… Not sure.. Anyway, I'm not sure if they do.. But dogs are imported into Brittain all the time, especially show dogs, I don't think it would be tool difficult. cheers happy New Year!

    @giza1: Heck, I never fed my puppies mush either, just softened kibble. And it didn't seem to take very long before the pups would be sitting in the mom's dog dish chewing on her dry kibble. -Joanne When you think about it… softened kibble is mush.... just all depends on how you offer it. And I only do "mush" between 3 to 4 wks after that it is just softened kibble... and in the end.. that is mush

    One of the reasons that I rotate the food is that then you really do not have to change slowly or at least that is what I find. I change every three months to a different food going between Wellness, California Natural, EVO, Fromms, etc… you get the picture. That way they are used to constant change (also adding in veggies and fruits both raw and steamed along with yams, etc). If I am on the road and need food for the B's then I never have to worry that I will not be able to find what I am feeding them at present... as they are used to change...

    Yes, Nicole that would be good info to add…. but that is going too far at this point. Like Pat said... people have to want to read it. This was just meant to be something that people can START with... Those are basic pages that if someone was looking for a basenji, the would be able to see that the BYB or PM they are considering does NOT fit into .... hence... not the best place to go. Throwing too much info at a person so quickly will be more than enough to make them turn and head for the hills... or buy the first puppy they see... then come looking for help with all it's problems later.

    L'Ox is on the small side. He is only about 16.5 inches at the withers. He may gain a little more height and will probably continue to fill out for next couple of years but he will always be a small male.
