    I thought that too, along with Kipawa…hmmm

    Maybe they were trying to avoid puppy season..lol

    As everyone here has said, it's possible to expect your basenji to e "reasonably trained" - but, that doesn't mean he/she is going to do it every time, and they are very easily bored. As someone has as a tag line, "A Basenji does not obey to orders, it may listen to proposals." The operative word here being "may." Success ten times in a row is no assurance regarding the 11th time. Still, they are worth it. As to the furniture, etc., we finally decided to make a choice: a pristine household or basenjis. Guess what we choose. …....

    Same goes for having a nice garden, or not.

    Y'a know, just a random thought.
    I love Rotties, chows and basenjis.

    ANCIENT breeds – chows and basenji in the oldest group.
    New breed::: Rottweilers.

    You can teach a freaking Rottweiler to do ANYTHING, consistently. They live to please.

    Chows and basenjis-- yeah right.

    I remember about 15 yrs ago going first to the American Rottie front page online... article on how to get your dog to do a flip and finish etc.

    I go to the Chow page. I am not joking.. main article... How to Teach Your Chow to Come.

    I laughed a long long long time at the truthfulness of it all. I once knew a lady here in GA that got OBEDIENCE AND AGILITY titles on her dogs. I one day got to meet here when I picked up a rescue to transport and so I asked her HOW. She said, you have to do it young because between 18 mos and 2 yrs, they stopped performing for you.

    So, at least we aren't alone.

    I have had that same situation with Ayo,only with him it's usually with large dogs. we only have one area at the park here, all together, small dogs and big dogs. When he goes in he always chooses one big dog , runs up to him and starts growling. Sometimes he stops very quickly, or the other dog growls back and it stops or it escalates , usually because the other dogs owner freaks out. He is fine around small dogs. And I am pretty sure that he is fine with most dogs, that if I leave them they will work it out, but I'm afraid to let it play out because bigger dogs can really hurt him, and also because usually the other owner freaks and intervenes making everything worse. Sooo, Ayo has started to get a bit of a rep.. The basenji rep!! I usually wait till only small dogs are in…

    Thanks, I didn't even look at the link in it full pasted format. It was sent to me in an unusual format not just pasted into the message which is why I wasn't sure it would work. Thanks for adding the link on its own. Therese

    Love it. I had seen the golden video a couple years ago and though. well of course a golden would be willing to learn that. Amazing that a Basenji actually decided it was worth while to learn that :)

    I use this brand: http://www.weatherbeeta.com/ The cover I have for Jala (standard female) is 40cm or 16" (neck to tail measurement). This cover is really warm and waterproof. Subaruthie, the hoodies you made look so cool! :) [image: attachment_p_23194_0_img_0660.jpg] [image: attachment_p_23194_1_img_0659.jpg]

    I've hiked off leash at numerous areas here in the SF Bay area. They love it! Any there was only 1 area that was a problem with ticks. To me after 30 years hiking with them it's the best way to establish a great relationship with them. There's no two ways about it, Basenjis love hiking adventures.
