    Hi all,

    Thanks for the wonderful words. Yes, Lana had her first litter on Friday the 21st. It took her a while to figure things out, but once the puppies actually started coming, she was a superstar. She did everything herself with very little help from me. The whelping took a little under three hours. There are five pups total, three boys and two girls, all red/white. Just took them to the vet for dew claw removal, puppy check and mama exam. All are doing wonderful, very healthy and happy, according to the vet. Pups are eating non-stop, they gained over 60% of their birth weight already. Lana is being a terrific mom!

    I will post pics as soon as I get to that. Pups are a lot of work, and with my job and school things got a bit hectic over the weekend, that's why I just got to respond.

    Thanks again, and please look for the pics in the next day or two!

    ~Daria and the gang: Lana the Basenji, Mishka the Akita, Busya the Boxer… Oh, and five Basenji pups!

    I am not in your area, but ... you should know that dog training is about teaching you how to interact with your dog, as opposed to teaching your dog how to do things. Most area Kennel Clubs offer training where you are your dogs partner in the class. The things you will learn will last your lifetime. I applaud the non-punitive approach. A lot of people fly off the handle when their dog chews on the wrong thing, or doesn't quite have potty training down. One of the best things you can do is give them love when they do it right and don't react when they don't. Recognize that he's just a pup. You can trade an acceptable chew toy for your shoes, and you can avoid the problem by closing the closet door so your pup can't get to your shoes. Accidents will happen and learning to potty doesn't happen overnight. Just provide a lot of verbal love when the pup gets it right and don't react when he doesn't. Love and praise are the best tools in your training bag. Congrats on your pup. Can't wait to hear about all of your adventures!

    Nice looking dog! I'm tempted to get another too once Safi is a bit older.
