Keeping your basenji warm during winter

    I have made my boys a lot of sweatshirts by cutting down old sweatshirts that we wore out. They keep the kids warm, are cheap and take less than an hour to alter to basenji size. I've made the whippet girls a dozen nightgowns out of old velour clothing, that seems to be their favorite.

    He is being spoiled like he should, isn't he. I read a few posts down in that blog and the owner mentioned BRAT. :)

    I've just finished knitting Cooper a jumper. The OH said it should have been a strait jacket ( no idea why !!!! lol ).

    Coop is alright in his as long as they don't have any buckles or belts on them, and I'd rather spend a pound on a ball of wool then alot more on a shop bought coat, although he does have a heavy duty raincoat that is worn on his walks under supervision lol !!!!!

    I was going to knit him one in day-glo pink but thought it might give him a bit of a complex !!!!!!!!

    ? OH?

    I call mine the spousal unit, or DH but it doesn't stand for dear.

    However, don't you wonder if the ones needing straitjackets are the owners, not the dogs? :)

    THere was a knitting pattern for a Basenji coat in an old Basenji Club of Great Britain newsletter but I just can't find it and have forgotten how to knit it! I find the crocheted coats are too heavy on their backs and mine strongly object to them. It would be good to have a pattermn printed on the forum.

    Are you going to try copying and pasting, Kipawa?

    OH stands for Other Half lol !!!! in short my husband, please note that he is not called the Better Half lol !!!!!!

    Patty, I got my pattern off e-bay, it's a old one in old money lol !!!! It fits Cooper really snug, but I'm going to try and knit another one slightly longer. This time it might have to be a purple one lol !!!!!!!

    Knitting actually isn't very difficult. Buy some yarn & knitting needles & google how to knit. Its reading patterns that trips me up. I started knitting a sweater for Lola when she was about 11 months old. It took me several months to get 75% done, and by then, she had changed enough that I recently took it apart & started over. I realized I needed to adjust the pattern to accommodate basenji chests being slightly deeper compared to their length than other dogs.

    @weedtrek Possibly Basenji mix, nose looks a bit wider and the eyes are less oval. Could well be a Basenji mix though.

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).
