Can I help you with your Jacket?

  • AJ was playing with a 10-week-old Red-Nose Pit Bull puppy and teaching him doggy manners at the same time. Apparently the manners part kicked in pretty quickly because it didn't take long before the pup wanted to help AJ off with his coat. :D

    He's a pretty little brindle guy, but the owner got a bit annoyed with me when I laughed at him for saying his pup will grow to be 200 pounds. (10 stone, 90 kg)

  • What a great picture..yes 200 lbs is a bit much..

  • my mom has a red nose/ dalmation mix….no where near 200lbs...more like 65 haha

  • That's a great picture. What a beautiful pup! AJ sure looks mighty handsome in his coat.

  • I love pits..they are are wonderful dog..wish folks treated them as well as they should be treated.

  • Great pic :)

  • Great pic, AJ! Don't you love it when people tell you stuff about dog breeds that is completely off-the-wall? And you try to correct them, they either laugh or get mad? Someone asked me once if Lana (my tri B girl) is a German Shepherd/Chihuahua mix!!! I laughed, and said no, she is a basenji, they told me I am making it up, there's no such breed!

  • I got frustrated when I took my b-girl in to get groomed and the groomer asked "oh is she a basenji mix." No she's a full blooded basenji. She just looked at me like yeah, right.. Well at least she had the basenji part right and didn't call her a terrier mix.

    I get this all the time with my B mix, people say aww what a cute husky/lab mix or pit bull/terrier mix, just something not even close to what she is…i have people at the groomer look at me like i have no idea what im talking about....crap like this drives me crazy and just makes me realize that the general public is like 50 IQ points lower than the rest of us :)

  • AJ is most often compared to a Jack Russell. When I tell them he is a hound, I see the most incredulous looks on people's faces. It's actually comical.

  • Oh beautifull puppy, and nice AJ! Wish pit's where allowed here - I love the breed.

    I ones got told my rough collie I had at the time was a beautifull girl, when I told him that the dog was a boy he didn't believe me…:confused: Would think I knew the sex of my own dog... :cool:

    Okay Alex, I'm not quite doubting the "helping part"... but I am fairly sure some "sunning" and "waiting to sample" is also part of the plan!

    I agree, I see cattle dog/heeler in there. I really don't see basenji but I really like the picture with that happy,goofy smile…looks like a happy boy to me! Of it helps, I reached my conclusion based on the thickness of the ears (regardless of the fact that they stand), the coat type is thicker and has feathering at the back end which you can see on the "zane2" picture...the muzzle is thicker and bolder than a basenjis which tend to be more refined. Lastly, the body type seems thicker and stockier than the lean that is a basenji. All my opinion but I figure rather than just saying yes or no maybe you'd get more out of knowing the "whys" behind my answer

    LOVED the costume, so it was an easy vote. And, if you're looking to donate food to needy dogs, might I suggest a basenji-related rescue group especially if they give out coupons/certificates instead of the actual bag. I know Colorado Basenji rescue has a glut of dog in right now. I'd imagine Medfly or BRAT are also needy. (I just sent CBR a coupon for a bag of food that Zest won, much to Z's dismay as she was looking forward to eating the entire bag in one sitting.)

    Jennifer; Thank you for the reply. Exercise is not an issue as noted above. My 15 yr old runs 5 to 6 miles a day and the younger ones do about 3. We also walk a lot as it is a small town and the neighbors, most of whom are elderly, really enjoy dogs that don't yap at them. LOL Rick

    @nobarkus: It's a mix so there will be body parts that don't match. Well "duh". :p But you would expect some characteristics of a Basenji to be there. Anyways, it's a very handsome dog. I just don't see it. I see dogs every day at the park that I think just might have some Basenji in them, but turns out they don't.
