I’ve

We are adopting a basenji and are looking to buy the essentials before she arrives, in March. What size and style did you go for? Thanks!

THANK YOU to everyone for sharing your adorable pictures of your B trying to stay warm this winter.

Benji is now almost 15 weeks old and I’m trying to start training him to walk better on a leash when we go out. He’s easily distracted by sounds, smells, leaves, and loves to run after cars. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Unfortunately, he couldn’t care less about treats while we’re out on a walk. Any suggestions on getting him to stop pulling, walk in a relatively straight path, and focus on me?

Hi! I’m trying to find as much information on the breeder. Can anyone who know them please share? Thank you

Willow is turning 8 months old and I'm wondering what symptoms I should be looking for for her first heat cycle. I always had boys before her and have NO idea what to look for or expect. She's my first girl. About how old will she be for it? What warning signs, if any, are there? How long does it last? Besides diapers, is there anything I need to buy to get ready? What else do I need to know that I'm not even asking?

She's an only dog and we crate her when we're not home. I know those are both good things but am lost on anything beyond that 🤷‍♀️

Here's a cute picture of Willow as a thank you for your advice!

Hey everyone,

The vet recommended a few different types of dogfood by now, since either my basenji wasn't feeling good, or had bad poop. But still problems persist.. Anyone got some tips on food you give yours, that I could try out? Thanks in advance!

Looking for options to ask my vet about. Was prescribed some steroid and dont remember the name but it caused a freaking seizure.

Anything given that you were in aww of your dog coming back to life from the pain relief?

Hello all. New Basenji owner here. As of now, my little pup is still biting on everything and not yet 100% potty trained. Because of this we still have her sleep in a crate, I take her out 2-3x a night (which is good because she wines to let me know she has to go). My concern is also leaving her in a crate throughout the day. I could get a dog walker… right now my mom is staying with me so she helps out but when she leaves I have this guilty feeling of leaving her in a crate for the day. How did all of you manage your pup? Is this normal and I’m being overly dramatic/sensative? My hope is she can be trained and not be crated throughout the day and sleep through the night. She’s only 10 weeks so I know this will take time.
