Hi, We have a 12 week old pup. (got her at 9 weeks). Maya is a tri-colour. We are very happy with her. She's a bundle of energy and fun. Don't know what else to say right now but hope to get to know some other people and read lots of advice.
Every single person who loves the breed has a right to care when irresponsible breeders get support. I am sorry you don't get that. Nor was it s lecture...it was facts.
I didn't know much about B's when I met Champ but to say that what characteristics B's share is "special needs" is plain idiotic. I consider it a blessing to have familiarized (and still learing) with this wonderful breed. It has made me realize that all dogs are not the same and it's important to learn as much about what makes them individuals as possible. I'm glad Raleigh found you and is now able to express himself freely without being labeled "special needs."
Welcome to forum! I hope Sayblee will be OK. A correct diagnosis is the toughest. Once they know, it's easier to treat - hopefully. There are many experienced Basenji owners and lots of support here. Enjoy!
