Thank you for posting this clip. I wish more of this could be shown , Staffies get a very bad press over here and are blamed by the media for all sorts of horrors!
Yes, I'm glad to hear differing opinions! We're keeping our options open but leaning toward a purebred waterdog of some sort. I'm sure I'll be back later with questions about how to integrate a new puppy in to a home life ruled by a cat (and with an African basenji in the mix)... :)
The golden I used to have did similar things w/her ears/eyes when I approached w/a leash. It was a habit formed from years of me sliding a new collar on with the leash attached. She'd squint and pull her ears back in anticipation of the collar being slid over her head.
The smile? I never got that.
@AJs:
See, Dan? First you tick everybody off, now you make everybody cry.
But you're still not getting off the hook that easy. You will NOT be banned and in fact will be required to stay. :D
What?! That's it I'm going back to my stupid jokes!
Ms. Rita Jean:
I have yet to locate the off switch on any Basenji and I've been around them since I was a baby. When you find it, you will let us all know, right?
I LOVE It's Me Or The Dog!!! She is awesome. She really lays down the law for people. Especially when the family pack order is all out of whack, which is often.
