My Rosa wrote the "How To Be a Basenji DIVA" manuscript - as many rules there were, it was so worthy of a 'script' at the end! She, and all her offspring, had spring and fall heats, but I only bred her once in the spring. That produced one puppy, my Captain. She always ruled over her pups, except when Captain came along - she did what HE said when he was about 2 weeks old!

"We believe he's Basenji and Jack Russell. Actually, I think he's perfect for a disaster work because he can crawl into anything. He can climb on anything. He's like part dog, part cat and part monkey. He can go anywhere. It's amazing. Dogs know how to find things with their nose, naturally."
i had always heard part dog, part cat, but throw monkey in there, hahaha.
what a wonderful story, jessi.
