Getting a new pal for my B's!!

Basenji Talk
  • We have been looking for a nice small outside dog for our acreage and we have finally settled for a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling retriever (over the Finnish Lapphund). I can't wait to get him. He is a 3.5 year old and apparently has a wonderful doggy temperment (which will be wonderful if he can get along with my female B). He is coming from a breeder in B.C. named Tollchester Kennels. I have met a couple of her dogs before and really like them, as I was looking at breeders closer to me I still feel this is a better fit for us. My husband may do the 12 hour drive to pick him up on Saturday. I am really excited to see how he is going to play with my B's!

  • Congratulations on the new addition :)

    Tollers are wonderful little dogs!

  • I know it's not another Basenji, but I did sign up for BRAT and I hope I can help out that way. But we are looking for an outside dog for our acreage.

  • Congrats! I think the Tollers are really nice looking dogs.

  • There's one that comes to our dog park named Rocket and he's very fast and focused on retrieving. I have yet to see him play with the other dogs. He's never mean or anything just not interested in play.

    I wish they could go everywhere with me but I couldn't imagine trying to get them on a plane. We are going to lake Erie in a couple week for a long weekend and they are coming with us. This campground is very dog friendly, this is the campground's annual halloween party before shutting down for the winter. Everyone is asking us to bring our dogs and of course they will be dressed up in costumes. After that we are taking a week to go to Cancun. Dog's can't go but will staying with a friend that has 1 acre fenced and her 3 dogs and mine were practically raised together. So we call it a sleepover. Everyone plays until exhaused so not a lot of time to get into trouble. I will miss them while I'm gone but know they are in great hands with my friend.

    We have actually been really lucky in this regard. Our backyard is enclosed by a picket fence reinforced with chicken wire around the bottom. It was here when we moved in last year. Cyrus has never tried to dig or climb out of the fence at all. We are actually hoping to replace our fencing with vinyl this year, so it will be even more secure. Cyrus does not have access to the outdoors when we are not home, however. He is too clever for his own good, and we worry about what he would do if left to his own devices!
  • So are these Af's different than our domestic B's?

    Jayden is super gross when it comes to what he'll eat: poop, vomit, and, if he pees on the patio, he'll lick that. Honest!!! We feed him and we feed him very well! Yucccchhhhh! Pat
