Man Gets Basenji Tattoo

    I have two tattoos, the first is my dear departed Thunders' paw print. It's right above my heart.I got it four months before he passed.
    I'm so glad that I did,as I had no idea he would leave me so soon after.

    The other tattoo is of him running full out. It was taken from a pix of him at a LGRA meet. It's on my left upper arm.
    I feel very comforted by having these tattoos,I look at them daily and remember how special he was.
    I would recommend anyone who loses a special B to get a tattoo of them. It is a healing thing.At least for me.

    I don't have any tatoos, mainly because I have never been able to pinpoint something I know I would be happy with for the rest of my life. But I am pretty sure I could be happy with a Basenji tat forever :)

    @Quercus:

    That guy (Chad?) used to post here :)

    I was wondering when i was watching it if he might be a member, really pleased he is, was lovely to see someone so positive about the breed. And he was rather lovely to watch ;)

    There are a few exhibitors in the northwest that I have spotted basenji tattoos on and I remember seeing a spread in the basenji magazine or maybe the BCOA bulletin about someone who had a mural done on her upper back in color. It was pretty cool.

    I have tattoos myself but have yet to acquire anything basenji related. Key word, yet… :)

    Irena - love your dad's tatoo of Geasy - the artist did a wonderful job! If I were a guy, and if I were younger, and if I could stand the pain, I'd definitely have a B tatoo!

    Irena, your dad's tattoo is beautiful!
    I've been thinking about getting one of Cody or to represent Cody, but I haven't figured out exactly what yet. I have about 17 regular tattoos now, so I think my best friend deserves to leave his mark too :)

    My Rosa wrote the "How To Be a Basenji DIVA" manuscript - as many rules there were, it was so worthy of a 'script' at the end! She, and all her offspring, had spring and fall heats, but I only bred her once in the spring. That produced one puppy, my Captain. She always ruled over her pups, except when Captain came along - she did what HE said when he was about 2 weeks old!

    @jengosmonkey - Correct depending on his conformation... it that and movement met the standard then yes.... years ago a friend had a black & white Male that was about 30lbs and was about 19 to 20" tall... he finished his championship. Chances of the "Neuticles" being discovered most likely would have happened, however. It had been tried in other breeds.... one was with a Golden that only had 1 testicle so they had one neuticle implanted when the pup was about 8 months... funny thing about testicles... sometimes can come down at the most inopportune times... image the judge when did his exam and discovered "3" testicles....LOL Opps! by the way the dog and the owner & handler were DQ.

    That sounds exactly like benji…his ears stay folded back for awhile when we get home he's so excited. And he is the smartest dog I've ever been around also. He knows what alot of different words mean just by picking up on our conversations and he does quite a few tricks when he wants to as well. And he has to be with us constantly too. The breeder had named him Wyatt so you might remember his pics and I posted some also.

    Hello! I wish to comment on my dog Pearl. She is Very quiet, hardly a sound. I try to encourage her to speak. She does a lot of nonverbal communication. About the child issue. Pearl came to us as a puppy. My kids (12 & 13 at the time) spent time with her, the neighbor kids played with her, and she loves kids. No problems socializing with young people. I guess the point is, your pup will love anyone who treats it well and cares for it. At 5 , I'm sure your child understands the importance of being gentle with dogs. Pearl has done her fair share of chewing. Interesting what she likes. She will be 2 in October, and is better, but she has lots of bones! I love Pearl, however, I am easy going, and enjoy taking her on walks, playing with her, and having her as a family member. Its up to you what you want from a dog. Pearl is pretty free, and thats what I like!

    Yes, early socialization and positive experiences is the best way to go. I think the most important thing about puppy kindergarten is that it is positive based and focuses on socialization with both people and dogs. Some basenji don't necessarily do well with the small dogs and other love them. Sophie was always the best with the new pups of any size in her puppy class, she just had phenomenal dog language and would make herself as small as possible and go at their speed. What you want to be careful about is people who have already formed a preconceived notion of basenji behavior. My mom's first puppy class instructor always expected her boy to be aggressive even though he never showed any aggression and was always very appropriate in his interactions. I crate puppies next to the bed while housebreaking and it works fine. I have always used a large stuffed toy in the crate and this year used SnugglePuppies, they were wonderful. The pup snuggled right up to warmth and fell asleep, provided we did a good job of tiring him out for the night. I got my first basenji while I was in Grad school and lived in an apartment. It is doable as long as you are willing to make sure they get enough exercise and mental stimulation.
