    Thats a good question. My boyfriend met a brindle basenji named Oscar at the dog park with floppy ears. He asked the woman and she said he was an african, that he was pure just had floppy ears. From what my boyfriend said he sure looked like a basenji but the ears threw him off.
    There is a picture of him in "wilysmom" member picture section, but its only a head shot. Anyway its nice to meet you and what a lucky pooch to have the family home everyday.

    I would doubt that was a pure bred either, again I have never seen a purebred Basenjis regardless if from the new Af blood (Avongara) or American breeding that ever had floppy ears…

    Ditto, Pat. I was just thinking that I don't know of any Avongaras that both ears didn't come up.

    If you are having problems because of resolution size, you can use a free photo uploading site and then link the photo from there.

    I use www.dropshots.com and upload my pics full size to there, then the one that you can insert into the forum is resized to a perfect size

    welcome kirk
    I am in the same boat, the only thing that isn't "basenji" on my chili dog is his ears dont stand, capable but mostly droop. Welcome and enjoy.

    @mack-s-grandmom said in Hi, I'm Mack's Grandmom: @mack-s-grandmom Also searching for a clicker for training. Difficult to find a good one. Thanks again for your help! You should be able to find a clicker at most pet stores, but in absence of one it's easy to use a marker word or a click from your tongue. The advantage of a physical clicker is that there is not intonation as there may be with the voice, so the sound is neutral, the disadvantage is that you need to have it in your hand, which isn't always convenient.

    When they are with their littermates and any adults, during play when they bite to hard, the one getting bite will scream at the biter… and adults will strongly correct... this is when they learn "soft" bite... so sounds like your Rocco did not get this... This happens if removed from the adults and/or other littermates too early... So as stated, all play stops... also, I suggest that if the bite is too hard, scream/yell very loud and then stop all play

    Another thing I've done with mine, I use the patio door to get to the garage when we go for rides and the side door of the house when we go for walks (the front door is never used for anything). That way my dogs always head in a certain direction when "escaping" out a particular door. Although a trainer told me not to that (she insisted dogs need to be kept guessing), it has so far worked for me. Even when the two escapes happened, it was in the particular direction for that door.
