No doggy odor

Basenji Talk
  • the best thign about my Basneji mix is the very lack of that doggy smell most dogs have. Granted some are worse than others but still….
    I love that i can cuddle as close ot my Spijs as i want and i neither she nor my cloths reek of dog.......its so amazing........She is the only dog ihave ever knows that dosnt just have that "smell" and i LOVE it.
    i love that my house doesnt smell like "dog"
    does any one else notice that?
    I really notice odors alot and most peoepl i knwo tha thave pets have a cetain smell in thier house, you smell it the moment you walk in.
    Yet another amazing trait ouf our Basenji pals.... these dogs are amazing!

  • yes, thats a very nice thing about B's!

    Some people ask us, how we keep our home so odor-free hahahah

    "get some B's" i'll tell them

    But also the ammount of losing hair is so little…

    Our Ibizian, has a little bit dogs odor (when she'd walk trough the rain) and getter her fur gerplaced at this moment! Wow the ammount of hair i've got!!

    But... don't matter how much hair she loosing or how bad she ever smells... we love her anyway! hahaha

  • It definitely is a plus. That's why my B gets to sleep on my bed at night. Other breeds i'm not so sure i'd be willing to do that.

  • There is the corn chip feet smell, though.

  • @Barklessdog:

    There is the corn chip feet smell, though.

    Yep, that smell took me a while to figure where it was coming from… I think I first heard it mentioned here on the forums! Until then I just thought it was her body odor or something... LOL:o

  • Corn chip smell is soooo much better than doggy smell, though, IMO. I just don't smell Mag's feet unless I want to smell corn chips!

  • I don't smell my B's feet either, however they think it is pretty amusing to stick them in my face in bed when I am sleeping!!!!!

    Thanks for the tip about the patio-doggie door - I'll have to look for one of those.

    could be. it also took me a long time to figure out the harness. I'll try again, this time with my hubbies assistance. We want him safe. This weekend my B was doing that sound right before they puke (gave him some rawhide bones) and I carried him to the bathroom and put his head in the toilet thanks to someone else's experience on this forum-sorry forgot who)and my daughter was laughing at me, but hey he threw up in the toilet and hopefully will in the future. I love how human they can be at times….really just like children!

    @WBL: BDawg post in another link about great winter coats from Montana Dog Wear: http://www.montanadogware.com/photos.html They are nice, soft and warm, the only downside (IMO) is they don't cover the chest These were real nice. I saw one B was from Columbus. Where are they hiding?????

    @jessi76: I used a dog daycare often when my dog was young, and still use it on occassion. I looked for the same things ChaseandZahrasmom's mentioned, but I also chose the one I use because it's the same place I train my dog. The staff in the daycare knew my dog from classes, they used the same training methods throughout the day (so it continually reinforced what we learned), and it was double fenced & gated… even inside. on my dog's first day he only had a human buddy all day. then on day 2 he got introduced to another dog, close in age/size/temperment. day 3 they added another friend. They kept a file listing his "friends" so the staff always knew what playgroup to put him in. They took special care during the cold months and rainy weather to keep him warm & dry. and they only crated for 1 hr during the work day. the place I use is $25/day, which to me and my budget is alot of money, but I also think it's a very fair price to pay for the quality of care my dog gets there, which is really most important. If you have multiple places to choose from in your area, I'd drop by un-announced, so you can see what a typical day is like. Showing up without an appointment sounds like a good idea. I didin't think about that. Thank you :)
