"He maintained that the basenji was the oldest breed on earth, having originated in Central Africa around 5000 B.C., whereas there was no trace of the Afghan hound earlier than around 4000 B.C." ~ Archie Goodwin (referring to Nero Wolfe)

I was just watching the Nero Wolfe episode "Die Like a Dog" and Nero makes a comment about basenjis which I thought I had to document/share : ) I copied the line from the novel, it is phrased differently in the TV version. [ [url]http://nero.wolfe.angelfire.com/26c.htm ]

A smart, well produced, entertaining and wonderful show, highly recommended!

@melduff I for one think this is FANTASTIC news! You guys are so lucky! You have a one of kind super dog with the papers to prove it. Walks around the neighborhood and trips to the dog park are going to be very much fun...

Friendly neighbor: Oh, she's so cute! What kind of dog is she?

You: Thanks you so much. Why, she's a Staffy Chow Lab Rott Russell Husky. (Ya haff ta memorize that) 😄 👍

Thanks a bunch for letting us know. Very much enjoyed your thread.

I applaud you for getting a rescue. There are tooooo many out there. For a first timer, an older one would be good, at least 18mos old or more where their personality is who they are at this age. Research all you can, and if you fill out an application and are denied, no not stop trying. I was denied by a Basenji rescue, and Uzie is my second where I found him right here 'free to good home' so we drove two days to pick him up and he is thriving without fenced in yards. (not for everyone as not everyone lives on 10 acres or more…I get this....!) but he has blossomed and doing well. So, don't give up!

@Gabriel:

Yesterday on another thread I read how someone takes a squirt bottle of water and does a quick spray when she bites and then says no. I tried that on noel and it worked perfect. I just have to grab that bottle and she goes and lays down. She hasn't bitten me once today. I know it will take more than one evening to train her not to bite but I will be patient.

The problem with this method is that Noel will not learn to soften her bite so if she ever does bite it will probably be with full force and result in serious injury. Though it takes longer to train, it is much better especially with young children in the house to use the method described in the link given in the other thread.

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.
