Basenji Talk

@bellabasenji: Sooooo sweet!:) Tribute to Bella: When you look at me with those loving, dark, and mysterious eyes, When you sing to me with that beautiful Basenji yodel, When you cuddle up beside me in bed with your head on your pillow, When you give me those delicate kisses on the end of my nose, When you turn your wrinkled little head trying to understand my baby talk, When you wag your curly Basenji tail and dance when I come home. :D Those little B's… what are we without them...

Happy Birthday Sophie and Rio!!

And actually that video link I posted is just a 2 minute snippet. They one that aired was the whole show so maybe a half hour.

Fostering might get you in to the reality of owning a b. I think going to BRAT and asking to foster would be the way to go. If you like the dog you foster, you can always adopt it.

Completely unrelated, but while I have your attention… WHERE THE HECK YA BEEN HIDING!?! The member "Andrew" and I have been trying since June to plan dog park play dates with Atlanta basenji people. How close are you to Dunwoody? Do you "do" dog parks? Would be fun to get together :)

Yep, i'm watching it. I've seen it before, but it's still good. You can also catch a snippit about Basenjis on Dogs101 on AP too.

My 2 will also find things to "get" my attention if they are not the center of my attention, when I get home. I hope you can leave yours out when your gone. it makes things so much easier for everyone.

Happy Birthday this month to a ton of basenjis - just realized that today was the day for a couple of mine too!

Are you on my space? if you look up I think if you search my name Rachel in conjuction with Las Cruces on my space, you should be able to find me. My Pic is of a yellow dog…my non basenji dog. What I am writing is within the rules right? because I didn't put my e-mail or telephone. I would put a direct link but I am not sure if there is too much personal info on my profile? Anyways Rachel, Las Cruces, my profile pic is of a longhaired yellow dog curled up in a chair.

all for sharing our happiness !!!:D [image: attachment_p_57271_0_thank-you.gif]

Oh man that must have been hilarious (in that really not funny sort of way of course). My husband and I are laughing wildly at this point but we are both dreading the day that it happens to us!!!

@myran: Thh only thing you have to keep in mind that girls go into heat which can be a hassle whining male having to guard and often separate them during the critical period. I have several basenji friends that have 2 even 5 boy´s and it works as they are of different ages puppies are integrated in to the pack when they are less then 12 weeks.But it takes a strong leader males rarely fight to kill more to show who´s the leader and when the other gives up they calm down not so with females they can be really nasty. Are you going to show them and maybe in the future breed then yes a girl but if not i´d choose a boy as it´s cheaper to neuter a boy then sterilize a girl.Especially as you have to let her have one heat before surgery maybe it´s different over there.And as I said before you can have boy´s together that aren´t neutered.But as they´ve mentioned before go with your breeders recommendations. Good Luck,Michelle In the US, price is usually the same for a spay as it is for a neuter…. and usually people opt to spay before the first season in the US.

How wide is the collar? If it is a narrow one, a wider one might be more gentle on her neck if she pulls alot when you walk.

All great suggestions. Also, for peace of mind, ask which emergency vet they use and check out that facility as well. We also include an unwashed T-shirt (one from each of us)that we have slept in for a few days so our smells are concentrated. Ask if someone plays with the dogs when they're turned out to run, and ask if there is a washer and dryer on sight in case of an accident so the bedding gets washed. All my above suggestions have come from experience and grant me some peace when I have to leave my dogs. That said, I'm still a BIG baby when I have to leave the "kids".:o

At these times we call him "Mr. Upper-Management"…...he does no work, but grabs all the rewards ) LOL that made me smile!

Sour apple spray has been 0% effective with my b but I made a home-made spray of mostly water and some cinnamon oil that works really well. Admittedly, Beegin was chewing furniture and books but it might work for other dogs too. Just make sure to keep it out of anybody's eyes. After I sprayed down the chair legs, I rubbed my eye. BAAAAD idea.

Kiora loves fresh pumpkin! She usually only gets it twice a year on Halloween and Thanksgiving. It's a special treat for her. Miss Ananda thinks she is insane and would like to let it be known that she prefers to eat turkey on Thanksgiving. ;) I think it usually goes over o.k with their tummies since it is high in fiber. Kiora's stomach is made of steel, though. Once she ate an entire bar of 70% cacao chocolate and was not even a little sick, though I was sick with worry for about a day and a half.

how cool is that!!! Haha.. I've thought about that as well… hahaa.. Great birthday gift!! I hope we'll see him in a movie soon! ;) :D

You should call animal control and report a dangerous dog running loose. No one should have to deal with that type of danger when walking their dog.
