Show Off Your Dog

Lela has always howled like a little wolf, but her full blown yodel is pretty recent ( she is 2,5 y. now). Usually when she feels left alone or doesn't see us. Binti (3,5 y.) howls a bit too, but less than Lela - she screams much more (at cats). She also has a deep humming sound, not unlike a small outboard engine that is not quite running properly. We hear that a lot when preparing her meals. We hear from other owners that every individual has a different repertoire.

@QuizBasenji: Khalani has a very sweet face :) Awwww thanks. I think he's very handsome myself but I'm a little biased…lol

@Buddys: Hi Kosuzu! I am replying with just my own experience. I only know a little about the local club I visited. There were no mixed breeds, all sight hounds, and a few hounds, the ridgbacks were real popular in the club, and one either needed papers to prove breed, (i never did get the akc papers promised by the previous owner) or I was told if my boy really looked obvious then he could compete. I am not interested in ribbons or placement really (but running the fastest time is exciting!) First Uzie would go against juniors in a class to ensure no aggression during the run of 750yards. Then go against the others in a duo and trio run. But things won't start up til it gets cooler here in Florida. I have a mini lure courser. It is ok, have to make sure the line doesn't get back washed on the spool though. here is a link, but if you can afford a bigger self winding machine-or get one made….then I think it is better then having to wind it up after each run of 150feet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7nqKp3rQ78&NR=1&feature=endscreen There are others out there too: http://wickedcoursing.com/products.html Good Luck! have fun!!! Thanks for the info and the link. I am thinking of getting the Lure Baby from Wicked Coursing. The only thing I have to consider is that the States has 110volt and Australia has 240volt. I think I need some kind of power converter and plug adapter. I will do some more research on that.

Great looking boy.

done :-) will vote with my dummy accounts.. lol

Yep, I spent about 3 days trying to come up with names, searching online and asking my parents and brother for names all we came up with was Olivia, so her final name will be either "One in a million" Olivia Palito or Olivia Palito "One in a million" (Olivia Palito is the portuguese name for Olive in Popeye[Palito means toothpick]) I have a few more photos of her but won't be uploading them today so maybe tomorrow I'll upload some !

What a beautiful girl :)

I do love it when they don't have much white, especially on the face. He was the least marked pup in the litter so he got called "Blankey". It was in the 90's here the past two days, so yesterday we went swimming. He had to be convinced to go in the water, as usual, but after that he had fun. He spent almost two hours swimming, chasing waves from boats, and walking around in the shallows.

LOL, yes, Buddy must be included. If he had his way, you'd be Mr. BaRoo, Bitty and Buddy! ;)

It looks very comfortable.

You are so lucky to have a pack of basenji to get together for walks. They must really enjoy each others company. Jolanda and Kaiser

You really should verify that the parents have been DNA tested for at least Fanconi. Just saying "I have not had problems with Fanconi" is (in my opinion) not good enough, especially since we have a DNA test. Buyers should always ask to see the paperwork for test and also to seach on line at www.offa.org with the dog/bitches registration number and/or registererd name. I always encourage new people to the breed to please do the research.

Congratulations :) What lovely dogs!

Miss Kaia has grown up to be such a beautiful girl! That black coat is so gorgeous and glossy. She and Loki make a lovely pair, and they seem so happy together! I love how they're so playful and how Kaia uses Loki for a pillow. LOL! Hmmm… maybe I should rethink getting a second one. But then Ava chews the carpet, eats the plants or pees on my bed and I stick with my singleton plan. ;)

LOL love the "hanging over edge." I have a queen size bed and silly Cara gets on the very edge so she can hang her legs or head off.

Thank you ! i also love the fact that he's chocolate coloured and he is the smartest ! almost like if he was part B part collie ! Distractions appart he learns really fast !

Mixes are so hard to tell, one mixing of the same mix of dogs(say basenji/fox terrier) can give you different looking dogs to another litter mix of the same type of dogs, sometimes characteristics of one dog comes out more than the other. At the dog park people have the same mix but they look quite different, then if one dog is a mix itself it gets even harder. I just think mixes are so interesting and think it would be interesting to find out through the DNA test they have. I suppose in some cases it leads to better understanding of your dog and it's needs. She is a nice looking dog and special whatever she is. I have yet to get a yodel just for me, even the cats have gotten one so you are lucky if she gives them freely.

yep, im guilty of make fake assumptions on my sweet girls.. im ashamed too. LOL

Oh my gosh, cuteness overload! BWAHAHAHAHA love the coffee table. :) You have one cute boy there!
