I have a general question. Does anybody elses Basenji not like to be picked up. Ours sometimes loves it, and sometimes not. Also
sometimes she runs up to dogs as quiet as can be and plays, and than other times she makes a squeeling noise, and people
are afraid she is picking a fight with their dog. But I think shes just talking. She squeels at our new Whippet puppy, and loves to
play with her and is as gentle as can be, considering the Whippet puppy is really rough on my poor Basenji baby girl. does anyone
know what the squeeling means. The baroo I get she does that all the time. The squeeling is confusing.
When should we get him fixed?

We don't plan on breeding our basenji dog and will get him fixed. He is almost 6months old now, but I have heard theat if you want your dog (especially boys) to grow to their full potential you should wait a full year so they have completely gone thru puberty? Anyone have any recommendations?

we waited the full year. We thought we might want to do agility and lure coursing, and had read that early neutering could lead to thinner bones. Thinner bones means more chance of injury, so we figured we'd wait.
He seemed to sail right through the surgery, recovery wasn't too bad.
I say, why not wait, if there is no intact female in your household, and the dog is properly contained.
