Show Off Your Dog

First time i've actually managed to see this film though I'd heard a lot about it -thank you for the link, tlish. Not true though that they are/were used to hunt lions. Is it true that they were nearly wiped out in the US in the 80s by Fanconi or is that an exaggeration? Does anyone know who the Basenjis are? They look some lovely dogs.

A delightful picture of a very well behaved Basenji.

Very beautiful pictures

suki is a female and weighs just 13.5. i think she's going to be a petite little thing! she's all legs at this point.

Ayo shares our home with my two cats,.. they sort of get along, Ayo is always trying to play nip them and they dont like it too much. Frida, thats the girl is a siamese and she plays a little but then Ayo gets too rough and Lucas ,who is huge for a cat comes and defends her, Ayo always ends up crying!!

@Buana: He's got them from his mommy, me :D Lucky boy!!! :D:p:D (Wish somebody from any side of my family have the long eyelashes gene! :D)

Nice looking cone, btw. But I like to cut quarter size holes in them to give peripheral vision.

Very nice pics and descriptions!

Fun day at the park! Good for you for bringing your camera!!!!!

Thank you everyone for the nice and fun comments! Did she choose the costume?! She said I could choose for her….as long as it was fit for a princes!!! haha Her costume seems like a perfect fit. Was it hand made? Yes, I made her costume this year. In 2008 and 2009 I bought little girl dresses from Goodwill and "tweeked" them to fit her appropriately…...but, this year I just started with a bunch of fabric I bought from a garage sale for $1. When my kids were young I spent all of October every year making their costumes.............but then they GREW UP! (The NERVE!!!) So now I have Haley who seems to be perfectly happy wearing costumes.............she's obviously the perfect dog for me! (It gives my friends one more thing to tease me about, that's for sure!!!!!) Are all Basenjis OK with wearing clothing? I'd love to hear all of your stories!!!

Buddy snatched up a few treats this morning on early walk from kids who dropped some goodies. Too quick before I could stop him. :eek: Of course he had the runs on this afternoons walk. :rolleyes:

'Round The Bend is my favorite. The last two are nice but 'Round really captures that B attitude.

Thanks all for nice words :D!

It really was a great holiday :) Can't wait to do something similar in a different country!

They have the exact same expression. That's wild. Now let someone tell me a B isn't smart! :)

@MacPack: I think of Mirtillo as a fine athlete. He is well muscled and fit, and that shows in how he carries himself. He is not just a pretty face, but an excellent example of the breeds physical abilities. And a great looking sweet boy too! Thanks for your kind post Anne :) We do our best to keep him fit :)

@Benkura: Thanks Scoops and Janneke. Chance is a very handsome boy. He was a little thinner than I would normally like but the bitches are in season and food is not his main priority at the moment! He has super muscle tone, I like to keep him super fit. :) I think he looks great! But I like the thin look ;) He's gorgeous.. and super focused :D

She's a gorgeous girl! Our bus systems don't let you on with a dog unless it is an aid dog or therapy dog.

Thank you for Cooper's update and many congratulations on the birth of Isaac. You all look as one happy family and have obviously done all the right things to accustom Cooper to the new arrival. It's a shame that others fail to make sure that a new baby is welcomed by their dogs.

I suppose it is coincidence but all the tris I've had have had no fear of water wheeras most of the red/whites have been very cautious. They are baeutiful pictures and what a brave Sonny!
