I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.
Corn chip feet

Okay, I am in a bit of a comical mood this morning.
Has anyone bought corn chips and let their basenji smell them? Do you think the basenji might be thinking "why are my parents eating something made out of my feet"?
-
Hahahaha, that's funny!
-
ROFL. I saw you post something like this before and their feet do smell like corn chips…that or Cheetos. Sometimes people can't smell their own feet maybe this is the same for dogs??
-
LOL, they can smell them since they lick and clean them and are up close. But I am sure their greater sense of smell makes the difference between cheetos or corn chips and their feet smell wildly different. Very funny though.
And since my dogs would eat them in a second, maybe they think "how do they make something taste so good that smells like feet?" -
maybe they think "how do they make something taste so good that smells like feet?"
LOL Debra - that gave me a good morning laugh!

ROFL @ DebraDS. Yeah the B's are like 'wow these smell like my feet, but they taste waaayy better!'
