Some years back, during our Shiba Inu and Jindo period our Jindo developed a terrible rash and wht with her licking turned into huge hot spots, loss of hair and everything. Our vet narrowed it down to a grain alergy, suggested we go to an avocado based food, AvoDerm. Within 2 weeks she stopped itching and chewing, and 6 months later all her hair was grown out. As time went by she developed a beautiful luxurious coat, never had another problem with alergies or skin problems. We realize that B's dont have the long double coats like Shibas or Jindos, but our philosophy is if it ain't broke don't fix it, so we have just continued feeding AvoDerm to our B's as we accumulated our pack. The main problem with it is, if we feed them as reccomended they gain weight, so we really have to watch their diet.

My name is Marti and am owned by 3 red & white basenji's. Two boys , one is 7 years old, the other is 1 1/2, and then a 4 year old female who is the neice to my 7 year old. All have been re-homed for one reason or another. I can not tell you how much fun it has been with 2 males under one roof (and yes, they are all fixed).
I did adopt a black and white female basenji several years ago, but 2 years ago this month, she had died. Even tho her and my Dannii (Zuirs Dancing Dannii Houdini) did not get along for the most part, they stuck up for each other at the dog park.
Will post pics soon.
