Basenji Talk
  • The little un's are growing quickly. Both of the tri's are little terrors. They play hard, bite hard, and climb up the x-pen like little monkies. We had them all outside the other day to play, and they were hiding, ambushing, charging, fighting, and in general just having one heck of a wild party. They're so much fun to watch.

    Now time for a confession. There's a little red/white runt, that reminds me so much of my first B, that it's uncanny. And yes, he is named after him now too. And yes, he's the one that gets "happy ears" when we come home. And he wags his little tail, and he looks like he's going to start barooing soon…He's as fiesty as they come, and his antics are hysterical. When everybody lays down to go to sleep, he'll step back from the group, play bow, take off running towards them, and body slam into the pile. Then he sleeps. He play bows all the time, and when he's ignored by his siblings he'll bite 'em on the butt. He's clearly become everybody's favorite, and I think he knows it.

    ugh...I will not keep him...I will not keep him...I will not keep him...I have self control...:confused: :o :o

    My family failed fostering 101, about 5 years ago. We're clearly now working on our fostering PHD, and we've done well with a lot of really excellent dogs. It's really not that hard to foster and send them on their way anymore...but, little Mowgli is going to be a challenge.

    The most important rule in Rescue is: Do not keep your rescues! If you do, then you can't rescue as many. I'm going to have to keep reminding myself that on this one.

  • Awww…..*you're gonna *keep him, *you're gonna *keep him, *you're gonna *keep him ;)

  • Nice fat puppies-just what I like. And, aren't all tri's little buggers?? or, is it just me?

  • @nomrbddgs:

    You know, you may be onto something. I definitely see differences between the tri-female, and all the other females.

  • yeah, a lot of long time basenji people will tell you that they are called "tris" because they are particularly "try-ing" ;)

  • They are precious!! I vote you KEEP the puppy!!!! :D

  • Actually he's SOOOO adorable I say you give him to MEEEEE :D :D :D

    uuuh….my husband would have a cow LOL :D

  • Tri's are wicked… but in a good way... LOL

  • I agree with quercus your gonna keep him, your gonna keep him. :)

    I had never heard that, but it certainly makes sense now!:rolleyes:

    Vegas, I don't know how you send ANY of them away!! I'd be like the lady with millions of cats…just millions of Basenjis!:eek:

    Seriously, you're a gem to do all of that rescue work! Keep those pictures coming!;)

  • What sweeeeeet babies!! I would HAVE to keep the pup…

  • It's a sure fire sign that you have to keep him. :)
    They are all such beautiful babies!!!!

  • Oh, my! What a bunch of adorable pups!

    @tanza: Just an FYI, most of us start letting our pups lure practice even as young as 10 to 12 wks…. granted it is just a short straight away, but gives them some sense of the game. And usually by 7 to 8 months most all B pups can do a full course. Pat, thanks very much for that info. I trust your comments. I know Kipawa would love luring. There is a club that does luring that is about a 40 minute drive from where we are. They don't have any events planned yet - not even 'fun days'. I will keep an eye on their website. http://www.meetup.com/Tri-Cities-Dog-Coursing-AgilityTraining/

    @Quercus: I am pretty sure the spinning was an initiation rite ;) I have never heard of that before…but I can just imagine you saying 'well, ooookay' :) Hang in there, it is always hardest with your first show dog...try to have fun! That's exactly what I said but it was right after I said "Seriously, you want me to do what?" :D The judge was a long-time basenji breeder so I figured she knew what she was talking about. @Quercus: I guess the moral of this story is that you will meet some jerky judges while you do this, and you may feel embarrassment and shame in their rings…but you will live through it, and be able to laugh later. The behavior of people who wish to shame you says more about them, than it does about you :) my inspirational message of the day. Thanks, I like that inspirational message. It's a good mantra for when I get a jerky judge. :)

    There's no animal so resourceful as a hungry basenji. They were slighted you know for centuries being last in line at the cooking pot.
