    With 2, you have all that fun all the time! I'm just saying…......

    So glad you got to meet Chewie, I'm sure you will have many good playdates. (If it works out, think about swapping 'babysitting', that can work out really well for a few hours, or days)

    How much fun…
    I once had that happen too at the dog park, when I had Otis..we walked closer and through the fence I could see two red/whites and one tri running by..my heart skipped a beat..what are the odds of meeting one basenji let alone three at the park..zilch, zero nada....but we did...come to find out two of tehm had been my fosters for a very brief time until they made it to their longer term foster..whom in turn ended up adopting both of them..small world..

    'When' it happens, Scarlett will love it Walter. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of you.

    I like the saying two are better than one. House is lots of fun and life is great.

    Sharon is right, now you know how we get sucked into having more than one. Something about watching them run together that just looks so natural. I had his two sisters and two of my other dogs running the property together in the sun (brief moment of sun) Saturday. It was so great to watch them interact with each other and take turns chasing each other.
    Glad he got to meet a friend who was fun for him to play with like that, great experience for him.
    Hugs,
    Therese

    Honestly Therese, I don't know who enjoyed it more, Kipawa and Chewie, or the adults who were watching them!

    It's been a little over 3 months since Mr Baroo came to live with us and Karin and I are grinning most of the time because of the wild play times with Bitty. She had been developing a severe case of couch potato untul he came. Now every time they go out the back door it is at a dead run and Mr. B leads Bitty on multiple circles of their 1/4 acre yard.They are so awesomly beautiful when they run likle that.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @Forever: This discribes zoey exactly. the crouch and pounce and the wearing out of dogs. She ran 3 italian grey hounds one after the other into the ground and was waiting for the next dog to come along so she can still play. Also whenever a new dogs comes to the park she plays greeter at the gate. People are always amazed at how fast she is. Buddy plays greeter at the gate too and goes to the gate when anybody leaves. Buddy will run around hard for 1 hour or more at the park then when we get home he runs in the house and grabs his toy.

    @phoenix3: Looks like a B to me but i think more of a B mix he looks like he has corse hair Maybe be has the size of a cattledog body and a basenji head :) My Aspen is a cattledog/ terrier mix he has the body of a cattledog {the colors} and the height and face of a terrier heres a pic so u can see the colors of the cattledog well one color anyways :D :D phoenix3 - this is Aspen? I'm so amazed at her spots, because my Daisy has spots like Aspens. We know her mother is pure R/W Basenji and she is thought her other half Beagle. One of her other litter mate moms thought Blue Healer (cattledog). But I subscribed to the Beagle. Daisy could be … Cattle Dog I suppose. She's bigger than Duke now at almost 9 months old. I will show her off soon on "Show Off" forum soon.
