    At my previous house, we had a chicken visit for dinner. Nothing was left except the feathers.

    Actually, Pat, you need to make good friend with people who have chickens. Fresh egg are way worth it!

    My current neighbor to the north of me has chickens (and a few ducks and a turkey. or maybe had a turkey, i'm not sure). But we're all on 5 acres in a mind-your-own-business type area.

    Between yesterday's adventure and the "roster"….. we do and will get eggs all the time!

    Well, your neighbours don't have to worry about integrating the flock anymore! They could have done something else, knowing they are in the city (duh) with dogs around. Don't get me wrong, I have chickens . And this reminds me of the time Shadow wanted 'fresh meat' as well. Ah well, at C-Me is well fed today! LOL

    After today's x-rays, looks like 6… one could have been absorbed or hiding. All are very uniform, no "huge" pups, which is a good thing.... no signs of whelping yet

    I don't just want one….I want them all!! They are adorable with their puppy goofballness......That is one nice thing about beeing a breeder, getting to have puppies a lot more than non-breeders.

    Yes, the one determinedly going her own way…I don't think I could ever be a breeder - I'd want to keep them all....

    Trust me, when they are 8 and 9wks old, you are more than ready for them to go to their new homes! Six puppies at that age are like having 106!

    Amen. I'm fostering what was an 8week old (from the 12/7) so my best for Can surprise her seven year old with a puppy… I am more than ready to go back to oak and I!!! I have learned a lot about Oakley in the process and am grateful to have gotten my "puppy fix" but Christmas can't come soon enough.

    Pretty darn close to… :-) ... They are a handful, but have been doing great with the potty box training (love using a litter box)... And the weather has been really nice the last week and 1/2... so they have been outdoors a lot also. C-Me is still nursing them now and again (I don't believe in force weaning, Mom knows best) the rest of the time she roars at them if they try and sneak a drink!... and they have been eating 4 times a day, so not like they need Mom's milk.

    First Basenji's

    I thought I'd be able to contain my squealing, but the second I walked in the door and the entire tri army marched up to the baby gate to greet me, I couldn't help myself. I probably gurgled way more than I should've… it was just too much!

    I've never had a chance to visit a breeder's pups at their home, nor have I ever met Basenji pups so young. My shoelaces were quickly untied by tugging pups, and I had tiny little threads hanging loose from my shirt afterwards. Good thing I didn't decide to wear a lace shirt or something. LOL. Now I know to wear my Kevlar jacket next time, haha. Mama and auntie are very patient with those li'l fangs indeed!

    They are all beautiful, and they're going to some lucky homes. =) Curious to see how the litter grading will play out.

    M.C. w/ Bowdu (shiba inu) and Bowpi (basenji)

    Yes you can be unlucky with anything, but doing everything you can to ensure a healthy dog should be the top priority. My girl has had blood work every year just as routine after my firsts problems. She has no symptoms, we just caught it on the yearly two years ago she slightly elevated, last year she was more elevated. We first started just Nutramax denamarin, three months later it made no difference to her readings. We switched her to Dr Dobs detox diet and Nutramax denamarin, went back after three months and her levels went up! So now we have her on regular food, denamarin in the morning, milk thistle in the afternoon and twice daily 1000mg of fish oil. Due to go back in February and see if that works. If not we will probably have to ultrasound. All her other blood work is normal so that is a good thing.

    Seems like the DNA sample would be easier to get too. :rolleyes: I guess the advantage of the sperm count is that you at least know if the sire is fertile or not. Good luck, can't wait to see pictures of the pups to be.

    Thanks Andrea and Robyn, That was helpful. Zoni isn't horribly mouthy but I definitely have some more work to do with her. I carry a nylabone in my pocket for the occasion.

    @Quercus: <> Right...I wasn't sure if that was the litter that Sue was referring to? But I don't know of her doing any other brother/sister breeding. So yes, Ariel is a product of that breeding. The idea was to do a test breeding to see what genetically, if anything, might be brought out. By doing an inbreeding, you can 'expose' recessive genes, and see what you've actually got. You can also set (as in permanantly set) type...but, that wasn't the goal in Sue/Jeff's breeding. In this case, the two "best" "typey" puppies from this litter will most likely be bred on from, as long as they test out as genetically and physically healthy, they will most likely be out-crossed, to bring in different genes. Ariel's brother, George, is quite stunning, and is easily the best looking puppy in the litter. Ariel has a beautiful head, but is long in body, short in leg. Neither one is what we consider a "show dog" ;) And the litter's sire is quite handsome!.... the dam of the litter, while long in the back and short on leg (like it sounds Ariel is) has a great temperament... both are great to build on the future.... and breeding out from these pups will be great to build on too.... I am pretty sure that would be the breeding Sue was talking about, like you I don't know of any other brother/sister breeding she and Jeff has done.
