My boy is a real escape artist, and I mean real - Julius K9, loads that people have recommended as being for 'Houdini dogs'. He also chews through leashes, including a beautiful, very expensive leather and brass….which he neatly chewed into 8 inch lengths when I was foolish enough to leave it below 6 feet up....the only thing I trust my boy to be tethered in is his current harness - a Ruffwear Webmaster. For walking, yes, a martingale (and oddly enough, Butu has never worked the trick when slack), but I'd definitely not trust him tethered. I'd get him one of these, and probably a chain and trust him in an open stall where he can see you and you can chat....I'd make the chain long enough that he could stand in the entrance, but could go inside the stall if he wants a sleep, drink, food from his bowls....do not let him near tack, horses feeding stuff, horse's anything - and I'd be cautious about hay too.... Chealsie508 - have you tried these (Ruffwear Webmaster?) If this hadn't worked I was going for a Ruffwear Doubleback, which costs a serious amount of money (but when I think of the number of useless harnesses I've bought..) but is the nearest thing I've seen to a doggie straitjacket - it's used by those people who drag labradors rock climbing....

Suspected Basenji in FB Pic

The one in the upper right looks like a Jack Russell or Parson Russell Terrier to me. And I agree, I think it looks like a black and white B on the steps!

Cool picture - and I believe it's a B too.
-
It is a very comforting picture. Thank you for posting it. FWIW, I think it might be a basenji on his way up to get his wings.
-
Your welcome Kipawa! It is extremely comforting. I bet hes going to get his wings soon
-
It reminds me of a Basenji with a Bull Terrier head. There is a black & white Bull Terrier mix at the NYCACC shelter and as soon as I saw the picture it reminded me of him.

The legs are way longer and slimmer than a Bull Terrier, so more like a basenji to me.
-
I agree. It has more of a Basenji build IMO
-
I think it's the eyes that take the B look off, but everything else says Basenji to me…
-
If it is a basenji (looks like it to me) I notice he's not moving up the stairs !
-
Looks too patient to be a Basenji!!! I see Basenji there because of the build - the head might look like a bull terrier because of the wide white blaze!
-
Beautiful picture - looks basenji to me, not quite sure which way to go -
