    My youngster was losing his fur in patches last winter, I was convinced it was food allergies. My vet said it was likely a contact allergy. Sure enough,homemade organic food didn't help. Since I don't use any chemical household products (no cleaners, rug or room deoderizers, scented candles etc) I was mystified. You need to become a detective to find the problem. In Sunny's case, the problem was a dust allergy: I moved his crate close to a heat vent so he wouldn't be cold! As soon as I moved his crate away from the vent his fur started to grow back. I moved to a house with wood heat this summer and he's been fine this winter.

    Debra, the pit bull is the neighbors dog. It was a rare occurance the neighbor was invited over and in his drunken state decided against my worries about Oakley being an un neutered mature male, to bring his dog over. I would definitely agree if it was my friends dog that this happened with, not to bring Oakley.

    Mine saw horses a few years ago when we were staying at the beach. People rode horses up and down the beach all day and while Topper and Nicky just wanted to watch, Eddie really wanted to get up close and personal. I'm guessing he was thinking about horsemeat! We kept our distance as most were 'rental horses' and didn't want to spook them and harm the riders. Yep, BIG DOGS!

    And it really bothers me that people still list Basenjis as "no bark" without also noting they are NOT mute, along with the "no" shed (wrong!!), ….

    Well, at least PetSmart has pulled them because of concerns. I found them missing when I went to work in our treat aisle today!!! http://www.itchmo.com/smokehouse-brand-dog-treats-pulled-from-petsmart-shelves-2869 We will be speaking to his vet about this ASAP, though he's keeping food down and has his energy back.

    I personally know a Basenji that died from raisin toxicity. It is definitely a real, and serious concern.
