    Okay. I'm about to BURST. I just got word that my home visit is approved. Now to wait for the vet okay and then to set up when to go get my girl! If I were a Basenji, I'd be doing a B-500 around my work. Think they'd notice? :)

    No longer Basenji-less in Austin. Nayru is at my apartment now. She and Batman fell in love at first sniff. Literally "sniff?" RUN PLAY RUN PLAY Collapse on couch together for nap. I couldn't have asked for a better interaction. I'll post pictures soon.

    OMG I don't know HOW as this is a subscribed thread, but I missed this. Then got notice of an Arwen adopting Nayru in TX and knew it must be you. Senility is a sad thing but CONGRATS big time! Now have to go find your new thread and pics.

    @Arwen:

    Debra, I do hope you can find your Chow. As an ex-groomer, that is a breed that I was never very fond of. The good ones were amazing but the bad ones really ruined that breed for me.

    Chows… I adore them. But stupid owners and bad owners can result in nightmare dogs. Chows not raised right do have a lower bite threshold than most dogs I have been around. Chow breeders deny it, but we have had chows in my family ... well since my mother was a child so all my life and 20 of hers. Someday join our FB chow group and meet what they should be like... almost all of us pet owners too, mostly rescues, so not the cream of the crop and still great dogs because in great homes.

    One of my chow customers was named Tedioso Great. Teddy was an amazing dog. We called him a lab in a chow coat. Then a fellow groomer clipper burned his groin area. He never even flinchec, much less bit. They brought him into the office to show the burn (it was a fairly bad one) and Teddy jumped in my lap. LOL I think he thought I could save him. I adored that fuzzy lump.

    Others? Oh wow. Most of my stories about them involve stitches and plastic surgery. Not on me but on my fellow groomers. I charged a premium and made the owner stay with the dog.

    @gretchen - You might want to reconsider if you can't find exactly what you are looking for... go for the younger adult... IMO...

    Hi there. I would do some DNA testing on him. However, if you go to the Colorado Basenji Rescue website, there is a mix at the bottom of the page. There appears to be some similarities. You could also email Peggy of CBR with your photos and ask her. She has been working with Basenji and Basenji mixes for a long, long time.

    @krunzer: Keep them separate in their own crates. The older one may not want to put up with puppy play in a big crate. When crated mine are always separate unless they are at the kennel, then they are in the same pen because Becca is not fond of the kennel. PS, basenjis don't like being woken up much, and one dog annoying another who wants to stay asleep might result in a fracas in a confined space; never a good thing.

    I am in Jackson TN and our heat index has been 105 or so for the past week with no end in sight. We walk early in the morning and then just out for potty breaks until close to dark and then we play Frisbee for a while and then come in. Bella likes water too. Haven't thought about a pool. I can only imagine it wouldn't last long if she got bored and decided to chew it. Would love to see some pictures of the pool playing.

    Remember however for a full thyroid panel usually isn't done at places that do bloodwork… and also what a Vet would call "low normal" for most dogs, for a Basenji it is Too Low...
