That's an interesting experiment. They will get the point that they don't need to gaurd their resources if it's no longer an endangered resource 🙂

OMG!! :eek: :eek: I get goose bumps thinking what Topaz would have done with someone who tried to pick her up. I gosh I can't even fathom the thought!!! :eek: :eek:

Who does that?!!

If it were Topaz…it would have been Good Samaritan Texas Chainsaw Massacre 🙂

By the was when we leave he is not in the crate.

I know what you mean. I have bought rawhide chews that Jojo "buries" and then "re-buries" around the house but does not play with or chew on and the kong I bought she could care less about after the peanut butter is gone. She doesn't even go after the kibble inside the kong. But to be fair to my little girl she is 11yrs so….

My son uses a foxtail he has on a fishing rod to play with the B's…....a few of them will chase it till the tounges drag on the ground. It's fun to watch them.:)

Yesturday at the pet store someone told be my B had great ears…I said thank you, you know the way u reply thank you when they compliment your kids. But I do have to admit everyone always says he is beautiful and that he look like a fox.

I have been looking for one in our area as well. Even if just for a couple hours when the weather is poopy. Living in Ohio or weather is 98% crap and 2% raining. I would love to start my own day care here. It would be so much fun to play with the dogs all day!

I'd love 2 c more pics of tiger with B's. I love wildlifife.

That is a great idea, but it should be an adolescent for sure (seems to be the most trying stage). My mom also really liked our dog (the look, the no bark, typical things most people like) and she quickly changed her ideas. We were telling her about the time we had to babysit another dog and the things she did to let us know that she did not like another dog in our house (she did some very naughty things)! My mom said 'wow she is really a manipulating dog'. I said, yeah they are definately not a breed for everyone.

As a Falconer I can tell you that most BOP's will not hunt game( your dog) that they have not had succcess with before. Most Raptors are opportunists aand like a sure thing, with no chance of them getting hurt while subdueing prey. The exceptions are if the bird is starving(middle of winter), or young and stupid. This time of year I don't think either would apply. They do take interest in moving furry objects however. I would never leave a puppy(s) unattended where there are Raptors around…....

indeed, thanks everyone! I'm just so happy I can finally have Bindi time :3
she's been going outside everyday, I catch her as she looks like she's about to, she even goes to the door on her own now and whines a little ❤ yay!
unlike before she's just go where ever because the other dogs did, she's got bigger dogs to play with now who are way better behaved
she's got tones of room, her own toys, and she can just chill if she wants

I'm still braking her of going on the couch, she mostly does it when I leave the room to get food or go to the bathroom, same with the bed
it's mostly my fault because I left something where she can get it or the cat jumps up to get away from her lol they are so cute together

@Vegas:

We're all committed to the basenji, because the little tools have a way of capturing our hearts… I think basenji owners are a pretty tight-knit group. The ways basenjis affect our lives are so similar, it's hard to not find something in common with other basenji owners.

I think this may be the "same page" Andrea was speaking of!

@jenniferever:

ive had raleigh a little over a week, lol. i know – VERY SOON to be complaining about him & the cats. he's now used to them, and they're used to him. i unfortunately had to get rid of 1 cat because he was getting very aggressive with raleigh, but i was meaning to find that cat a new home before i got raleigh anyway. one thing that bugs me about raleigh is that he lunges at the cats. its kind of like an abrupt bow-- like BOOM! GOTCHA! and the cats of course hate it.

squiggy does this. He is trying to play, which the cats go hide until he is out of that mode.
He also "fleas" the cats. But the cats like it best when he just bathes them.
At least my B does not have to worry about cat hair 🙂
I have 2 sphynx:p

Glad to hear your group is getting along.

@Mantis:

These will not cause diahreah in puppies….greenies will make the poop a bit softer than usual and green 🙂

greenies have been known to cause blockage, and even death. just one of many links to read about it….

Oh, Shadow is barking up a storm right now. I have a new puppy, and he barks constantly at her. Won't hurt her, but gets verrrry annoying. Brf! Brf!Brf!

YAY…can't wait to see show pics 🙂

And I have 3 B's! The Boxenji can be trained easily enough and the heeler already is trained (I can trust her outside without a collar-so fencing is not a problem with her). But, then for the B's I'd have to buy the wiring, flags, etc. Lots of $$$$$$.

Oh, my! What a bunch of adorable pups!

Do ya think I'd get life if I off'd my DH because he wouldn't let me have just one more? 🙂 Just kidding…I think :p

Dogs are not completely carnivorous. They do like fruits and veggies and sometimes even need them for a complete balanced diet. I feed mine various veggies-they seem to like lettuce the best. Eating dirt could be signs of various causes-including boredom. Best to investigate the upset tummy thing though!!

BBOB-whew! So glad that you've done some homework with them. We've had too many abandoned B's lately that I can't bear it anymore.

Like Andrea it depends on what they've gotten themselves into during the day like pretty flowers, grass or flowering trees…then I'm in trouble. 🙂
