Need some hunting info

    Greetings,

    I am new to this board and we live in south La. We are looking to start hunting Basenjis on Rabbit/Hare soon but wanted to hear from other experienced hunters.

    Personaly, the rabbit hunting w/Basenjis will be new to me. But, I believe this is important because it preserves and enchances this breed's natural abilties and instincts. It keeps the breed true.

    I was refered to a Jeff Schettler by this duck hunting peerson but I have no contact links to him.

    I have never hunted my Basenji's, but have thought about trying them on upland game as I've trained a pointer in the past and find it very interesting.
    I don't know how a Basenji would work out hunting rabbits in the traditional way(shotguns) as I would think they would tail too close to the game to shoot safely.

    Here is the link for Jeff's yahoo group. It is "The Basenji Native Traits Preservation Project". I am a moderator there, but it is Jeff's baby. Please join, and share your experiences.

    @Patty: Shelley - I agree that Howards' was the better reaction but as I said it's understandable that you were worried because of your previous experiences. I hope now by everyones' comments and advice that you now realise that this is no major problem? Malaika is a different baby and she's yours to shape into a lovely girl - the good thing is that you've seen the worst and have the knowledge to avoid it!! Talking about growling - here's a laugh, Adonis, our Fula Tri, was excelled in obedience competition but from the age he started to the age he died he accompanied all his obedience actions with a low growl saying "I'm only doing this because you want me to." He had the sweetest temperament with young and old, known and unknown and the growl never meant "I'm going to bite you." :D:D Adonis sounded a real character and what a name, no wonder he had big ideas ;)

    Gbroxon - no big deal. No one knew Luny (aka Tommy) would exhibit SA and especially not in such a severe form. And I understood what you were thinking - about people dumping dogs. One of my stupid neighbors has gone that route (they've had 6 different dogs in 3 years - I won't talk to them anymore). And I don't know how many times I've come across people who say "oh what a pretty dog, I'd like one like that" when they see me walking my dog. I almost always discourage them from getting a basenji (with that attitude no dog would be good for them). So I'm with you there.

    She is obsessed with those furry gray things and hunting would help tire her out!! You have to be carefull with squirrels. Our dog catches them but does not know how to kill, so he plays with them but gets bit up really bad by the squirrel.

    he's got a crate, and sleeps in it from time-to-time. as far as accidents go, he's had a couple. i bought puppy floor pads, and hes used them once, but never again. :( luckily i see that once he eats, whatever form thelast time he ate comes out, so i can time when to take him out. another thing – he doesnt eat his food! he always eating the cat food, and wont eat unless i sit on the floor with him, and hand feed him a few kibbles until he's like "hmm this isnt so bad" and finishes the bowl. & it's weird because im feeding him the same stuff his last woner did,. so its not like i completely changed his food.. :(
