Have you read Control Unleashed? There was a blind basenji that would go up to sniff a human and then would nip. So they taught this pup a sniff then retreat type of behavior. The Look at That game, whiplash recall, mat work, off switch game are great for this sort thing. I think the basenji was talked about a lot on the CU list about a year or two ago, you may want to join and check the archieves.

Welcome Mike and Dexter, nice to have you onboard.
Dexter sure is cute. -
Welcome to the forum. I would think that this mix of Basenji and JR would be pretty high energy. Looks like he has a very nice coat.
-
he does have a lot of energy he keeps my 2 cats on their toes. his coat is very nice and soft except on his back it is more course feeling and has been shedding quite a bit lately

My Buddy's coat is courser on his back too. Buddy keeps my neighbors cats on the run :D. He's not mean he just wants to play with them but he's too aggressive. They have this look :eek: on their face as they dart off.

Dexter just wants to play with my cats he isnt very rough with them but they dont seem to like it. however he does tend to leave the female cat alone and only bother our male cat.

hi Mike and Dexter (cool name, after the TV show?). Welcome!
-
actually yes the name is from the show (it is one of our favorite shows). my dad loves to call him Dexter the serial killer
-
Great show, and great dog name. Hopefully he won't go around killing things and then tossing them into the bay.
