Hi John! My Binti will only consent to have her nails ground and only with treats (she gets one per paw.) She hated it at first but once we had the routine established, she settles right into it. The only thing I would say about using the grinder is keep pausing to feel the claw. I once had a "groomer" who was in a hurry hold the grinder to Binti's claw too long and the friction built up heat which burned her enough to make her yip. We started doing it at home after that.0_1609705288646_1Binti orchids1.jpg
Hi Everyone!

I have 3 adult basenjis, Nicky who turned 9 on Dec 20, Rally who is 6 today, and Rio who turned 2 on Dec 7. We also have a litter of 3 pups born Dec 7. I got Nicky when he was 20 weeks old, Rally at 11 weeks and have had Rio since birth. You can check out their pics in the Show Off Your Dog section.

lvoss,
They are little beauties! Such pretty markings, and they look like they have sweet dispositions. Absolutely gorgeous! -
DebraDownSouth,
I hope that I can go to a few dog shows, most definitely! Where can I go to find out when and where these shows will be located? -
http://www.infodog.com or http://www.akc.org both have good events calendars.

I just joined and saw your question. I have had a B male for 1 year, since 8 weeks. I love him so much. He is all dog! Swims, likes snow, loves cats, well 2 out of 3. Cats don't like him. He doesn't like rain. Get one and… Hold On Tight::D !

Love your avatar photo, markusa! Is it on one of the 10,000 lakes? Your B swims, but doesn't like the rain?

Markusa59mn,
What is your Basenji's name? The last sentece you wrote put a big smile on my face. Thanks! Where did you get your B from? -
Swims, but doesn't like the rain? That's odd. Why do you think that is?
