About Indigo the Rainbow Puppy | |

|
This litter of puppies came with their mama, Rainbow, from another rescue. We aren't really sure what dad was--possibly a Lab or a Lab mix. They are curious, playful, sweet, and love to give kisses. We think they would fit well into almost any household.
10-28-13 Foster Update: The pups continue to be the highlight of the neighborhood, always approaching people (especially kids) for some love. They love to be outside to play or just to lay in the sun and chew on a stick. From the way they are in the tub, I be they'll love swimming as well.
10-14-13 Foster Update: The pups are growing more everyday and continue to be very affectionate, playful and delightful. Still working on the potty training, but they're doing remarkably well for their age. Key factor is to give them a minimum of 10 min outside to play & potty after every meal! This is addition to regular walks.
Foster Update 10-7-13: Sweet, affectionate and feisty with a penchant to explore. Indigo is full of life and we adore having her and her brother in our home! Both pups are following the lead of my family's 2 male dogs and adapting well to potty training (kennel training). Leash training will begin this week.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the first traces of a dog similar to the Basenji are found in Egyptian tombs and wall drawings of five thousand years ago. Also called the Congo Dog, it was brought to Europe in 1934. English breeders refined it and exported it all over the world. In Africa, it is used as a guide in the forests, to warn against the approach of dangerous animals, and as a very active pack-hunting dog of small game. The Basenji is alert, affectionate, demanding, energetic and curious. It loves to play and makes a good pet, as long as it is handled regularly from an early age. It is very intelligent, responds well to training with a strong desire to please. They can be reserved with strangers. The Basenji is somewhat aloof, but can also form strong bonds with people. It should not be trusted with non-canine pets. They are usually patient, but do best with older considerate children. The Basenji dislike wet weather. They like to chew, so giving them lots of toys of their own would be a good idea. The breed likes to climb and can easily get over chain wire fences. Basenji are very clever at getting their own way, they succeed less by obstinacy than by charm. It has the unique properties of not barking (it makes a low, liquid ululation instead) and of cleaning itself like a cat. It can be described as speedy, frisky, tireless at play and teasing the owner into play. Their strong desire to play can lead to behavior problems if left alone. Most Basenji problems usually involve a mismatch between owner and pet. The owners mistake the adjective "quiet' to mean inactive instead of noiseless; thus, they become harassed by an active, though relatively silent , dog. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
