Malaika's sister is coming to live with us


I have to share this news with you.
Yesterday we went to Blackpool Dog show just to watch and meet up with Basenji people. We met up with Malaika's breeder and discovered that one of Malaika's sisters had been returned.
We went to see her and fell in love, to cut a long story short we have said we would like to have her. It has always been our intention to have two and our plan was to get a male puppy next year, not to breed , our plans are to have Malaika spayed when she is mature.
We have been given a week to think, not that we need it and will contact the breeder at the weekend. We will then take her on a trial basis to see if the two girls get on, there can be problems with same sex Basenjis but we feel quite confident the two will be ok. The understanding is that we will return her to the breeder if it fails.
She is a lovely little girl and i hope so much it works.
She was the smallest pup in the litter and we very nearly picked her, it's strange how things work out.

Re: Malaika's sister is coming to live with us


She's called Maisy which i like but Howard doesn't
In a way it could work realy well because hopefully we have missed the bitey stage. She has done puppy foundation training like Malaika so we will try to get her on the bronze if we get her in time, she's also crate trained as well and has lived with a Cat. I'm hoping the two will play together and leave Tom and Jerry alone.

Re: Malaika's sister is coming to live with us


Not a clue, the deal was i picked Malaika's and Howard got to pick the next one.
Watch this space but i have to warn you that he's not so good at picking names
If it were up to me i would keep her name.
So far he's thought of Asha

Tom's tail is fine now thank you Eileen, the fur has closed a bit around it and it doesn't look so bad.
