  • I got a lot of great items at Petco. They had a large selection and you can take your dog in and make sure it fits!! OR you can do what we did and make your own clothes– sweatsuit legs make great sweatsuits for your dog!!

  • thanks guys! This is a great thread!

  • You know how a lot of the clothes have guides that say this size should fit this breed? What breed size should I look for in buying something for the new pup? Its been so bitter cold here I would like to have something for her ahead of time. Any suggestions?

  • here is a pic of Caesar and Cairo chilling!

  • well, jack doesnt like to wear clothes, but he loves!! bandannas!! lol. but of course i made him wear a shirt on xmas that said kiss me with a pic of mistletoe!! and then on halloween, we won the local costume contest at petco!!! lol. i wore a Navy shirt and hat with a sign on my back that said Go Navy beat Army, and Jack work a camo shirt and army hat, with a sign on his back that said Go Army, Sink Navy!! lol and we won, i was surprized…but it was awesome!! lol. very fun, ill have to put some pics up!!

  • When I got my B she was 8wks. old and it was still chilly here in NC when I would take her out to potty. I could not find any clothes to fit her b/c it was almost the end of the winter. So I took a old thermal underwear shirt of my hubby's and made a sweater out of one of the arms, I just cut it off and made holes for her legs, it worked great and she did not shiver anymore. Now she has coats and all of a sudden doesn't like to wear them anymore, it was 18 degrees the other night, I tried to put her coat on for her to go out and potty and she wouldn't have it. So I just said what the heck, "Ok stubborn go out and get cold. She was out there about 1 minute, just long enough to pee, and like a flash she came through the doggie door. B's just gotta have their way, just like my hubby and 23 yr. old son, that is why Sahara works for our family. haha!!!!

  • hehe, sounds like a B to me!! lol

  • Florida doggy sweaters? Oh momma! This is a real cute pic of your boys. Cairo looks like he's always been there and loves is brother and Ceasar looks like he's much happier again. ;)

  • OMG! Those matching sweaters are adorable!! They look like quite the handsome pair! Do you have one too, Betsey?? That would make it complete!!

    LOL on the entire repertoire. That was my chow/coyote. I would just wait til she stopped and give THE command (or give it again if she started AFTER I had given it.. but most of the time she started the second she knew I had a treat) when she was ready to listen. But it was cute.

    I had nose surgery a few months ago and when I got home I was worried the dogs would be so excited and jump all on me, but it was crazy how mild mannered and dare I say tame/domesticated they were. I swear they knew I was hurt and gave me a day or so of good behavior. They are truly great dogs to own!

    I agree with Basenji fan, I love our Boomerang tags. Mine are at least 6 years old and still look great. Double sided for more info, they have deep etching and just don't wear out. They have a lifetime guarantee, too. I have a plastic one for me, too, back when I was bike riding a lot, with name, phone number, doc's name and number, etc. Way cheaper than the 'official' human emergency ID tags (I got the red bone shaped plastic for me, stainless steel ones for the dogs)

    Jess - why don't you put a proposal to each of the individual clubs that they take a Discover Dogs stand. There are new people in the breed now who may be more interested. Also I do know that some of the breeds at DD this year had asked for double stands precisely to give space so that dogs could be rested without being crowded in. It wasn't a case of tired dogs biting but as you know Basenjis object to having strangers pushing into their faces. There are plenty of other breeds who would also object to this. After all I'm sure that nobody would put a dog of bad temperament on the stand. That wouldn't do the breed any good!! I remember one Crufts when one of the basenjis went for the judge and headlines were 'Biting Basenji'!! You can imagine the uproar and the disservice it did to the breed! I'm not sure who would ascertain that the information would be accurate though. I do know that some of the info on the club websites is incorrect!!!

    QUOTE=LeeL: I have noticed that it is a lot easier to accidentally train a Basenji than on purpose. ;) And not necessarily something you WANT them to learn!

    Sometimes the best medicine is to be around those you love. Hopefully being with her family will help her continue to heal. Thanks for the update….keep us posted. (Sending healing thoughts to Annie)
