im not sure she offended lilly in any way that i saw but it is very possiable that it happened when i wasnt watching.its just starange how angry lilly gets when she simply sees her.

my lilly seems to have a grudge with the ONE basenji at the dog park when the other basenji comes around lillys hair will stand up and she bares her teeth .BUT this only happens if i am around..it is like she thinks this basenji will hurt me.i dont understand why she does this becuase she plays just fine with all the other basenjis at the park and all the other dogs.if i see the other dog come into the park i have to catch lilly before she sees her and move to a diffrent side….and the weird part is when they first met they got along just fine and its been a more recent occurance....

@tanza:

No, you should look into it because you don't know where she came from and have no information if her Sire and Dam were DNA tested for Fanconi.

okay thank you.

@MacPack:

Did you get Lilly from the Largo SPCA? I know of 2 other basenjis adopted from there in the last 6 months!

We get together every Sunday morning (weather permitting) at a large dog park in Tampa, (West Park) you are welcome to bring Lilly over to meet the pack. We often have 10-12 basenjis there running and playing. We occasionally do a 'road trip' to Crest Lake Park in clearwater, that is a really nice park too.

Anne in Tampa

nope i got her at the st.pete spca. and i take her to the walsingham doggy park but if im ever going to be up that way ill be sure to bring her!

lilly has had a very bad reaction to her shots.im not sure which one it is that she reacts to but with her first set of shots she was fine but after a few hours at home she started shaking and acting very tired,leaning against the walls for support, and screaming when you tried to pick her up…it was horrible.

but the last time she got her shots she was fine.

@tanza:

You should think about getting DNA test done for Fanconi… go to www.basenjihealth.org and read about it…. it is worth the money to easy your mind.. or if the worst happens, be prepared for what might be...

should i look into this because of where i got her?

@tanza:

She is very cute… who did you get her from?

the spca believe it or not.

aww thanks everyone and i already want another basenji i saw a puppy at the dog park yesterday and it just made me want another one all the more!

my name is heather im 18 and i live in seminole florida and my lovely basenji's name is lilly.she is the first basenji and dog i have ever owned. shes crazy and has some strange quirks but she is more like a child to me then a dog.

i cant wait to make new friends and possibly play dates for my little girl.
