A basenji in a catalog!

    Yes I seen this Catalog it's been in there for a while. I also was very supprised to see a basenji in a catalog. The steps I have them I got them when my first basenji was getting old and having a hard time getting up on the bed. It took here about two days to learn how to use them and then she use them until she passed away. It made her like a lot better to be able to get on the bed without falling. Her sight and hearing also was getting bad. But we did what we could to make her last years easier for her and we miss her. Now we have Two new b's and they love to run up and down the steps but they don't need them but the steps were great when they were small puppies.

    I just got a copy of In The Company Of Dogs catalog today and lo and behold, there's a gorgeous brindle basenji named Raisin modelling a lovely $79.95 dog sweater w/ a matching $29.95 scarf (haha! little do they know that most senjis would turn that into a $79.95 dog toy and some $29.95 dental floss! ;) :) ). It's on page 13 if anyone else gets this catalog and wants to check it out.

    I hope this works…here is the pic of Raisin the Basenji from the catalog In The Company of Dogs. Not sure if this was the pic in the catalog, this pic was on their website where they previewed some of the dogs in the catalog.

    OK I guess it worked and it is not the pic from the catalog since Raisin is not modeling the sweater and scarf. The caption next to this pic stated,
    DOES THIS LOOK LIKE YOUR HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK PICTURE? Our art director swears no school portrait exists of her grades 7-12. (It seems the photographer always snapped when her eyes were shut!) Even our incredible photographers occassionally snap a blink…but not often!
    IMO, Raisin looks beautiful with his eyes open or shut!::)

    Found more pics of Raisin. I'm not sure if I am more excited about seeing a basenji in a catalog…or finally figuring out how to copy a pic to a different file and upload pics I didn't take!

    Raisin is so cute, and such an expressive face!

    Raisin is so darn cute! I saw him modelling the tie and also stretched out on a luxurious looking dog bed when I looked at the full catalog! Thanks for the pics, Jodie! They're great!

    Oh yeah, I love the name Raisin for a basenji! All those wrinkles - it's perfect! :D

    OMG Rasin is adorable, I love all of the pics, the one with him with his eyes closed and the "smug" grin on his face is way to cute

    What a great looking dog! I'd like to know what they used to bribe him (her?) to sit that long with that stupid tie. My EL D would have that shredded before the photographer finished snapping it on! :)

    Basenji for me or not ?

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    My Basenji Billy is quite undershot; he's a purebred, his bottom jaw just didn't stop growing when it was supposed to. That's okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for a dog with an underbite anyway.:) He was my first rescue Basenji.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).
