Show Off Your Dog

Fula Nzara of the Congo was sired by Fulaflyaway of the Congo and my dogs are related through him. Queen Juliana was a patron of our club - the Basenji Owners and Breeders Association. It was wonderful to see the pictures, thank you for posting them.

What a handsome boy and great pictures.

Super phots - I love the ones among the flowers!!

Dear Sonny, Aren't you afraid that the other basenjis will chase you dressed like that? Your fellow curly tail and admirer, Zest!

I thought it was great but had to turn the sound down!!

Thanks everyone! She is doing great so far, awesome personality. I'm so happy I found Kyle and Steve, they have been great as well.. She hasn't roo'd yet, but she screamed bloody murder in the crate in the car!

I am lucky with my guy. Although he has attempted digging a few times and been told "no", he doesn't take advantage of my absence to pursue the habit. One exception was when I assume he was cold, and he dug his way under the comforter on the bed, managing to do some damage to the foamy we have on the bed to make it softer. (never assume the bed that felt soft enough in the showroom will be so when you get it home! :) ) He has free run of the house and seldom abuses the privilege. Obviously if the damage occurs when you are gone the only solution is to restrict his access to the things he is likely to harm. Or suffer the consequences. ;)

cute puppy

I like it!

Lovely picture!

Very sweet, nice that each girl has her own puppy!

I tried the link and there were several videos on octopi??? while i think octopi are amazing creatures (imagine a basenji with 8 suction cupped legs!), it's not what I was looking for.

Happy Barrooo Day, Sonny-Boy!

Good Job Lisa and congrats!!!!!

Oakley is 15 months and I use a martingale collar but no matter howuch training he still seems to "cart pull" as I call it, his head goes down and he digs in to pull, I'm looking into getting a hurtta harness but don't know which is better for pulling- the Y harness or the regular one I see Chaffie wearing

@Buddys: They look great together! So funny how different breeds find themselves as housemates! I can only imagine the 'fun' they get into at the homestead! Does Watson like to lick his sisters drool? Uzie is always fascinated by the contents of other dogs' flews…... Watson loves to clean Menchi's face. He does it every morning :) Cute picture. I love it when big dogs learn to play with smaller ones and how to work with the size difference.

That was wonderful! :) GO PERRY! LOL so set Oakley up… leave out bras, have camera in hand.

That little guy is soooo adorable! I just love it when Bs 'wag' their tails…... love the markings on him-too funny the you-tube next to all that space stuff! Good luck with Hubble!

She loves wearing my hats!! I think it because she tells me, with those eyes, to take it off my head…... and put it on hers. The spoiled princess that she is!

@Patty: What a Star! Such a clever boy. I only know one other Basenji who can fetch any named article! I have had a couple, but Perry is the best! My girl Lady would bring me a bone on request (one of those processed white bones) and also her collar…...which she didn't like to pick up (esthetics, I think.....didn't like the feel in her mouth), but she would if I insisted. Funny story. I would send Lady to retrieve her bone from the basement. I had a treat at the ready as a reward. She would start down the stairs, get halfway down, then return to make sure I still had the treat for her. It usually took her 3 or 4 attempts to make it all the way to the basement and return with the bone! :) Sunny had a fairly good repertoire as well. I started using "pick it up" with him, because I had read Chuck Eisenmann's book. I find "pick it up" a very useful command, as you can point to pretty much anything and invoke it. Naming the object moves you towards the goal of recognizing and bringing the items you desire. Anything that increases vocabulary and understanding improves communication with your dog, IMO. Since I discovered clicker training, I have really enjoyed using it, as it speeds things up greatly, and the dog soon learns that when the clicker appears it is time to start offering behaviours. :)
