When my daughter was pregnant she would stop by once a week and Izzy would always sniff her all over , most of all her stomach and around that area, her husband was afraid of Izzy being around the baby when he came , because Izzy is not a real friendly basenji especially to my son in law. Izzy has never had any aggression toward my grandson, my grandson is 7 now and Izzy is always there to protect him, when the grandson goes down the stairs Izzy is just one step in front of him like he is protecting him from falling. I don't know about other basenjis but Izzy loves kids, but not a lot of adults.
New Puppy Books
-
My brother and his wife just got a new puppy and I'd like to send them a puppy book to encourage good socialization and positive training methods. I was thinking about the Ian Dunbar "Before and After Getting Your Puppy" book. I have not read that one yet myself. I think it would need to be a pretty easy read, I'm not sure how much time they will spend looking at it. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

I am sending home The Puppy Primer with each of my puppies this year.

I always liked "How to Raise a puppy you can live with" by Clarice Rutheford. You can find it quiet inexpensively on Amazon as a used book.

Here is a link to The Puppy Primer on Dogwise.com since the other one doesn't seem to quite work right. http://www.dogwise.com/itemdetails.cfm?ID=DTB599

Thanks for the suggestions. I might get them both.
