Dog Hair…..

Basenji Talk
  • JazzysMomJ

    After spending the last half hour or so brushing my navy blue drapes to try and scrape the beautiful, long golden hair of Gypsy out of the fabric, and knowing that in less than a week I'll be doing it again…and again....and again.....I am feeling particularly thrilled to own a Basenji also.

    I will never, ever own a long-haired dog again.

    Dog hair, ugh! :mad:
    Just had to get that out!

    Ah yes…the wonderful world of shedding dogs! I am quite sad to be allergic to most dogs and am still sensitive to basenji dander, but boy am I happy that the dog that I LOVE doesn't shed much at all...Maybe once a year (if that) in the summer, I notice a little on my shirt, but that's it!!
    So sorry you're having to do all that brushing. I use one of those tape roller things...

    I have those tape roller things, but they just don'twork on the drapes. I don't know what it is, but the combo of her hair texture and the fabric is awful. I can use up a whole roller of sticky-tape and not make a dent in the hair.
    I bought a rubber brush/scraper that works much better.
    Either way, it's such a pain. And the dog hair on dark clothes - ugh- for that the rollers work great.

    I love the Basenji hair, that when it does happen to stick to my clothes, just brushes right off!

    I recommend tape. It works great! The packaging tape though..its much thicker. Just wrap it around your fingers tacky side up :rolleyes:
    It picks up so much and much cheaper than those rollers.

    I find when the tape roller just won't cut it, a rubber glove does. those big ugly yellow ones. I get 'em at the dollar store - and just use my fingers to move the fur into a pile. works wonders on the mounds of fur my 2 cats leave on everything.

    Yes, the tape works great, but I think I know what rubber brush you mean. My sister has a broom like that - she got it at an Equine Affair in MA one year. It works great. Gets all the hair up when she sweeps. She's got a black Aussie/Golden mix - can you say HAIR??!!! I don't think I could handle it…LOL!

    I am so glad that You, your husband and Cricket are OK. You're lucky the bull mastiff did not attack your husband, Im surprised he did not, actually. I have had this happen to me so many times to our dogs. Thankfully it always ends up bad for the other dog/dogs. They go into fight mode right away, which does not make them great at meeting other dogs, but after this happening so many times, I don't trust the other dogs either. If I just have one dog with me, I scoop him up in my arms and that has worked well so far.

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    I think you'll enjoy the magazine Fran and I can recommend it to any one who is interested particularly in holistic rearing.

    @tanza: Got ya…. and how nice of her to sit up and puke!!! :eek: I am lucky (knock on wood) all mine ride great... crate pads keep them from sliding around and they just sleep anyway.... Sure makes clean-up easier! I used to keep wipes in the car to clean her, esp. before shows! ew. I just layer plastic bags in the trash can, and tie 'em off as used, then toss when we get to where there's an outside trash can. I'd make video to show, but really, that'd be gross :eek: She's really good in her harness, so it works out quite well. As I said, Keoki continues to be my car challenge in terms of how to best travel with him. But he loves going in the car in general.

    When Cory and Jayden get into something special (in their eyes) that they suspect they aren't supposed to have, they go and hide in a chair so they can examine it and chew it in private. There is no "Let's go show Mom!". Often Cory will rat Jayden out. She will make such a fuss that I've learned to recognize her "tattling" ruckus. If I want to get on the computer, I have to secure them in the room with me or put them outside. If not, Jayden WILL find something for them to get into. He is tall for a basenji and I swear he can use his front paws like hands! Pat
