    Our Mickey gets pretty nippy when excited, too, and it was much more of a problem when he had those crazy sharp puppy teeth, but now at 1 yr old he responds pretty quickly to "gentle" and "kisses", "no bite" prompts. But when he gets too worked up I have to just walk away because his first instinct is to mouth & he doesn't seem to know his own strength. Someone mentioned winter activities - I would strongly suggest looking into getting a Varsity Ball (if you google it it should come up) - they are indestructible and big! Def for outdoor only. My guy likes to roll his around and try to stand on it - it's pretty funny. And it's almost the only time you'll hear him growl and bark - he gets so worked up with it that I have to put it away sometimes or else the neighbors will think he's vicious (he sounds it when playing with this thing!). BUT he comes in from outside panting and exhausted, so it's a nice alternative for him. I would caution, though, that bc the ball is really hard, he's knocked it into our rain spouts and caused them to fall down. So just be careful if you have anything outside that could get damaged.

    Only the red girl on the lower left, and Wheat are African. The other 2 are Lisa's show dogs. I have to tell you, I am selfish, I hope Wheat is just a village basenji, and she can stay with me fixed. Re BCOA and breeding her. If BCOA approves her, then it won't be my decision to breed. I will just have physical control of Wheat. The folks who brought her back, all BCOA members, long time breeders with knowledge of structure, temperment and health, will decide if and when and to whom she will be bred, if ever. I don't have the knowlege to be a breeder. Also, I know that if she does have a litter and something happens I will be compelled to take back the pup. Its just more knowlege than I have and more responsibility than I want. I just fell in love with this cute girl… We will see what the future brings for her. THANK you So much Lisa for posting her for me. Hugs to you all.

    He is just a joy! I wanted to take him home myself! What a sweet boy. He is getting fixed on fri, and I will let you know when we have found a home for him. I took him 200 miles in the car and he was crated…not one peep... Someone will hit the jackpot with him!
