Amazing New Toy

    I got this toy and all I can say is wow! Piper absolutely loves it. She’s never really gotten excited about toys outside and will only play for a minute or so with balls or flying disks, but with this she will chase it as long as I will throw it. It will easily roll the length of my backyard which is around 200 feet and takes lots of crazy hops that drive her wild. She of course doesn’t bring it back because what self-respecting basenji would retrieve, but it gives her a great opportunity to really stretch her legs and anything that tires her out makes me really happy.:)

    The video on the site doesn’t seem to work but here is the link to the youtube video

  • Just like the bunny at the lure trial!!!! (if it was real it would not come back either…ggg)

  • That's actually what I thought about when I saw it and I thought it would be good practice for coursing, or at least if nothing else it should help with conditioning.

    So far Shaye's favorites are the "no stuffing" animals with squeaky toys at each end - she has a squirrel and a beaver - she runs around squeaking them - strange thing, when her puppy teeth were out and she was getting her big teeth, for a while she had trouble making them squeak and she would toss them in the air and drag them around running full-out, then jump on them and try to get them to squeak again. She also has a set of hard plastic keys on a ring that she enjoys tossing and chasing (and getting us to toss for her of course. Her favorite game - reverse fetch.

    Thanks for your replies. I've started giving Sonia Glucosamine w/ MSM every day and we'll see how she does. I'll give you an update in about a month and let you know if it's helped or not.

    Hollie would simply chew up the plastic bottle to get to the treats. She has done this with EMPTY bottles. That's my B!

    The only thing I would be concerned about with a Dachshund would be the possiblity of it having some back damage with the rough play of a basenji…or even trying to do the same acrobatics that Bs do. I have known some folks who had a lot of problems with disk and spine problems with Doxies...but I don't know if that is typical. Something to think about though...

    lol… Jill, my dog has destroyed TWO talk to me treat balls. I still love them though, they do last at least a few months. My guy has figured out how to get the recorder out though - and how to chew it to bits.
