Um? Is this for real?

Off Topic
  • ummmm… anyone else picturing poop falling from a flower or tree now? It's like a trap door... I wonder if they are scented...
    this is weird... I'll never look at my car freshener the same way again...

  • Is it for aesthetics, or is it meant to stop your dog from pooping? If for aesthetics, well come on! If a person is so ahem…. anal.... about the look of a dog's bottom, why are they getting a dog in the first place? If it's a poop stopper, I agree with Kipper. I think it would wind up being a pooping flower.

  • We are just glad basenjis have such cute,tidy little butts, as one gets to look at them so much!

  • So stupid..I can not believe there is a business for that..let the dog be a dog..behind and all.

    I agree, Basenjis have lovely tidy behinds :D
    Thanks for posting the ad, it gave me a good laugh

  • I agree, definitely very silly. But between two basenjis & a cat who, for some reason, likes to wave her butt in my face while I'm sleeping, maybe I've just become immune to that facet of animal ownership. If its offending me that much, I usually just shove them off the bed/couch/lap whatever haha.

  • I"ll never forget the day at the dog park when Zip climbed on a pregnant lady's lap. Now she was really pregnant. Zip had her haunches on the top of her belly and her front feet on her knees…..which would place her bum in the woman's face. I kept wanting to apologize for the view. When she left she said the interaction with Zip was special because she knows how reserved B's can be. She was a shiba inu person, so I suppose immune to the exposed bum, haha. . Thank goodness Zip didn't fart. :eek:

    OMG I still wish I'd been there for that. Zip is hysterical. What kind of basenji goes & sits on strangers' laps?

  • Mauigirl, that is hilarious..I wish you had a picture of that…

    :D:D:D:D:DLOLOL!!!!!

    It's Portland, Oregon. I'm betting these guys are for real. We have all kinds of goofballs in Oregon. You should walk around downtown Eugene sometime… I got yelled at by some hippie guy for having a fishing pole on the rifle rack in my pickup. First for having a rifle rack, then for having a fishing pole.

    "Butt"...I agree, it is a little creepy.

    I can just see trying to put something like that on AJ. He'd do everything he could to get it off. Hey, maybe that's how they got that Golden Retriever to "scoot" in that carpet cleaner commercial...:eek:

  • My question is: how are they supposed to attach? Are they sticky backed? That would be much better than the other way, which I leave to your imagination. All in all, it probably is real, but no thanks!

  • They have an elastic that goes around the base of the tail. I'll admit, at first I thought it was attached by going in. :eek:
    I can't imagine one of those staying intact for long on any basenji. Blaze would shred it, dispurse it around the house, then pee on something of mine for revenge.

    I thought that at first too, and I was horrified!! Took me a moment to realize it had elastic string.
    Mine would rip that off immediately. I don't even know if I'd be able to get it all the way on.

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    I think the dogs must be seen individually, our Chaffie is looking "normal to thin" I don't like completely thin. Buana, looks much heavier BUT you can feel his ribs as good as Chaffies ribs. If I post a picture of Buana, you would say, he have to loose (some) weight. But if you feel him, he should not loose much more weight. A picture is nice for a small opinion but you have to see them for the complete opinion. From the first pictures, I really don't like the very thin dogs. And I totally agree, people are so used to fat dogs! If a dog is really too fat, nobody will speak up in the street (I can't resist telling the owners :) ), but when we walked our Podenco (really not to thin) everybody had something to say…
