@torchsong:

Yeah, there's been no wounding, but the in-laws are just worried about the bullying. I'll let them know what you've said here.

The pot shots are funny…the schnauzzer waits until She-Ra walks off and then does an "Air Jordan" type jump at her back, which of course starts the chase all over again...

Sounds perfectly normal to me

Thanks for the advice, I guess the ramp is not needed.

For more information on Proheart 6,

Letter from Wyeth to veterinarians about Proheart 6 adverse reactions http://www.wyethah.ca/pdfs/Canine/EngLetterMarch16.pdf .

American Veterinary Medical Article about Proheart 6 http://www.avma.org/onlnews/javma/oct04/041015a.asp "Over the course of the past three years, however, the FDA has received 5,913 adverse events reports about the drug from veterinarians and dog owners. According to the FDA, many of these reports involved life-threatening events, such as anaphylaxis, convulsions, hematopoetic disorders, and hepatopathies—about 616 reports involved deaths. The FDA has also evaluated a number of reports involving neurologic problems and cardiac signs."

My yard came with the standard 4 ft chain link fence and I have never had any real problem with EL D. When I acquired him from the breeder I made sure he was not a climber to begin with (she had some dogs that could clear 6 1/2 feet easy as pie). He likes to sit sometimes in the corner and watch the activity out front by the neighbor's, so the chain link is a plus in that respect. The squirrels learned pretty quick not to run across the top of the fence.
The only time I've had a problem is when one neighbor acquired a pretend-dog that likes to come by our adjoining corners and harass EL D (and me or anyone or any other pet in the vicinity).

From what I have read, it is 2 in coach and 1 more in first class. I would recommend making sure it's a large plane, as they will allow more dogs, maybe 3 if it's a big plane.

My mum has one of these, though a bit different.A good friend of hers, sadly no longer with us of the Taysenji Basenjis brought it back for her when she spent time living in Zambia many years ago. It will be passed down to me when my mum is no longer here as it has sentimental values and I will never be parted with it.

You are lucky that she did not got hit by the electric wire which is usually in these fences. The voltage is quite high with sheep fences, as the wool does clam the shock down. If the sheeps are supposed to stay in, they need a fast hit. If this goes to your dog he will be terrified for the rest of his life. This happened to Gromit when he was about 9 months old. He still is scared of Sheep and Horses….

Hi Pat, how's things?
The breeder is KIPENZI. Your right, she's gonna pick out the most placid male. Kaycee is so laid back and nothing phases her, i want a boy who will be the same. He's black/white. Kaycee is red\white. Turns out that her dad was originally from Kipenzi. He's absolutely beautiful.

Seren Jane doesn't make too many sounds, only occassionaly when we've picked her up from the groomer does she sound a bit like a baby. Not her favorite thing. Now she does make a low growling sound if you acciently roll on her at night or try to move her over in the bed, real grumpy then.
She does seem to enjoy listening to the sounds of other basenji's that I've found on the Internet.

Jack also hides his treats in the couch he buries it in the couch or somewhere, then digs it up a few minutes later and eats it. and you CANT CANT CANT watch him hide it he HATES that! lol Geoff and I have to cover our eyes before he'll calm down and hides it. lol. He does the licking dry, rolls in the carpet wherever i dry my hair after a shower (for the smell i think) squats to pee, scared of the sweeper…and does the B500 to the couch and bites the blanket too (just like Tosca). Its too funny...and he LOVES to play Peek-a-Boo with Aiden in a giant box...He is SO Funny!!! I love it!!

Jack ONLY likes the ropes…well atleast we all know Jack Flosses!!! 🙂

Wow she is pretty! agreed on the scary-ness of the blue eyes…I owned a horse for a while who had blue eyes and it freaked me out! lol

@etzbseder:

I just had it re-assured that basenjis are partly just a 2-3 year old child. My roommates kid is visiting, and his mom is having the same arguments with their 3 year old son as I have with Medjai.

"You just played, now you MUST go to the bathroom. I know you don't want to, but trust me, you have to."

"Take a nap, you played all morning, and you always want to play later."

They both will just look to see when the parent isn't looking and do what they're not supposed to.

I always tell people that having a Basenji is like having a perpetual 2 yr old….so actually, you give Medjai more credit than I give mine, LOL.

@etzbseder:

Did anyone else get the email about the new issue of the Breeder? The second story on the email has a picture of a basenji and is from Reveille Basenjis. Just wanted to point that out.

That would be Damara Bolte, she is a officer of BCOA, besides a judge, breeder, handler…. The article was from AKC

I use 1 inch collars by Bison, the 10-16" size works well for all my dogs. I went with the Bison collars because they are the only quick release buckle collar that has been rugged enough for my basenjis. Bison started out as a climbing company so their materials had to be rugged enough for climbers, that quality has also been present in the collars that I have gotten from them.

For martingales and slip leads, I buy from All Hounds Apparel, http://www.allhoundsaparrel.com. She does several different widths. I like at least 1 inch for my dogs for any walking collar and prefer the widest I can get for coursing slip leads.

Thanks for sharing the story.

My dad and his two basenjis recently made the local paper. We had no idea he had been interviewed until two of my puppy buyers mentioned having seen my dad in the newspaper recently. They were very sweet and cut out the article for me so I could see it since I don't live in the Bay Area. The link doesn't have the photo that went with the article that showed my dad with Cole and Levi, for some reason called Guy in the article.

I love black and whites and have two myself.

Please make sure that the parents have been tested for Fanconi Syndrome. There are many Australian basenjis in the OFA database just type in the parents' names to see if they are there.

There could be a thread on the things we do to registered names– Sol's is 'Solid Gold' but I call him 'Solomon' because he's a deep thinker, or 'Solace' because he is a solace to me-- I like the 'Ruby' adaptation!

She's so sweet, watching over and taking care of him.
