On feeding, when I had multiple dogs I always did the same as Zande, all dogs fed at the same time, although not always the same place. When the weather was nice I sometimes fed outside. But wherever, I sat and supervised until everyone was finished. I had one who would try to poach if not watched, but she knew better than to make a move with me sitting there. Never had a serious fight with any of mine, and never a disagreement over food, but a breeder I know had to permanently separate two bitches who hated each other and would fight instantly if they had the opportunity....the cause of their dislike had nothing to do with food and everything to do with one bitch interfering with the other one's pups.
How much does your B sleep?

How many hours a day do you estimate that your B sleeps? Mine seems to sleep ALL the time, except when he's out on a walk. He's very healthy, no medical problems, and quite happy … just sleeps his life away.
Of course, it is summer and very hot here in SoCal. I know that cats and many types of predators in the wild sleep almost all the time. What about your B? Cheers, Lori (ZenGrrrl@aol.com) -

Mine sleeps a lot, but only when he can sleep on me. When I don't let him, he just runs around all the time.
I originally thought it read "how does your B sleep" and mine sleeps curled in a tiny little ball next to my head.

All of my dogs sleep the same amount of time. They sleep through the night and then about half the day.

i have found that the 6th year has been a calming year for my male. He has calmed down dramatically and is more concerned with snuggling and sleeping than anything else.

Oh Mantis I can't WAIT for the "calming year" LOL
Mine are like bullets for short periods of time & then they sleep for about 18-20hrs a day :eek: they're crazy

Mine too but really just on the bed. If I don't let him up he starts to look for trouble. He now starts snoring just seconds after he's on the bed…hmmm I think he's faking so we don't move him.

Jala sleeps all night and then almost half the day. My mums basenjis are the same
Given half a choice I would do the same
