If you were going to add another dog….

[JazzysMom]

I got my second B last year, and don't foresee getting another dog for long, long time. These push dh – though he loves them very much -- to the edge, LOL.

BUT, if I did get another, I'd want another B, if it couldn't be a B, I'd still want a doberman!

[agilebasenji]

Uhm, well i have 3 basenjis and a malinois. the mali is a fun dog, and it's nice to have a dog that you can take off lead. if i couldn't have basenjis, i'd think about a cirneco or some sort of terrier - maybe an irish. i'd love a chart polski. and if i had a maid, i'd get a samoyed.

If we were to add another dog…..which I don't think DH, Cory, or Jayden would tolerate.....it would be another basenji, a boxer or an ibizan hound.

Oh- the other dog I like is the Puli. Maybe I'd get one of those!

Aren't their coats high maintenance? I don't have a clue, it just seems like there'd be a lot of work keeping that from being a huge mess.

Quite different from the B coat anyway!

[Robin_n_Jack]

I don't think so- I had been reading about them as well when we got Jack….you don't brush the coat at all, you just twist the "locks" every once in while, from what I remember.....that was a long time ago. I think you also have to trim the hair around their eyes.....otherwise they can't see.

Well now that I have 2 b's…I think I'm set for a while.

If I got another dog, it would definitely be another b. If I couldn't have another b for some reason, it would definitely be a Parson Russell Terrier...I have tons of experience with them and to me they are an absolute blast. I've always wanted one that I could train to jump off a boat at a dock, throw him the bow line, and then have him tie the cleat.

[hdolbow]

if i couldnt have another B..

GREAT DANE a blue one. ive actually researched breeders .. lol

ooorrrr a pit, min pin, or a chihuahua.. a cute one though not an alien looking one. lol

Danes are cool, except for their short lives…..

[hdolbow]

dan would NEVER let me get a great dane. just my dream dog. i think i'd like to have one as a puppy, or just until it got big.. because those things can touch ceilings if they can put their front paws on something. lol i know someone who had one.. it laid on the couch with me and took up the whole thing. i know i have a picture of it.. lol

plus three B's is ENOUGH for me. lol

[gbroxon]

Bs are the breed for me! But if that were impossible. I love Dobies (I have had two), and I'm also kind of partial to German Pinschers and Manchester Terriers (I have never had either breed so I'd have to research them). I love clean lines, short fur, a square stance and a regal-looking appearance. Flopsy-mopsy, cute as they are, aren't for me. A nice temperament would also count big-time.

Our neighbors just got a great dane puppy –from a BYB from the description of the place; puppy is ten weeks old and had never been outside!! . He's beautiful, kind of the color of steel.

That said, his sire weighs 180 lbs. and stands TALL.

The family that bought the puppy is very small -- I mean, Dad is not 6 ft,
Mom is maybe 5'4. The two kids left at home are an 18 yr old who is 5'2 and a 13 yr old who is under 5 ft tall.

Should get interesting......

[Robin_n_Jack]

I was attacked once by a Dalmatian/great dane mix. Maybe attacked is the wrong word….
You know how little dogs will hump your leg? This dog got up on its hind legs, put his front paws around my waist, and started going to town.:D I'm not tall, I'm 5'1. That dog was a full head taller than me standing up like that.:eek:

[hdolbow]

hahahah yeah i've seen pictures of them putting thier paws on a mans shoulder and touch a kitchen ceiling fan.. lol

they are the most awkward looking puppies.. huuuuge feet and head and a little body lol i saw one at the vet one day.. it had just gotten its ears done.. cuter than cute though i wish they were a bit smaller.. lol

one can weigh between 150-200 pounds! and are over 3 foot tall at the shoulder..

that steel color is the blue i LOVE them! lol

just type great dane into google and you get some interesting pictures

[Robin_n_Jack]

They are some amazing looking dogs- I totally agree….and since my little run in (btw- that story was only for laughs, I really have no problem with the breed at all) I have met some really sweet gentle danes, too- gentle giants.

So many breeds, so little time!

[basenji3]

I guess I'm pretty lucky as I have both of the breeds I truly love. I have always loved the norwegian elkhound and have a older one who is 13 now. He is the third one I have owned. Also the oldest.Then along came love, a new husband and the basenji's entered into my life. My long time batchelor(23 yrs) husband came with a black and white basenji named Oreo. Oreo passed away a few years ago but he started the hooked on basenji . We then got a red& white boy who is 4 and had a wonderful opportunity from our breeder to add a tri girl who is now 3. Brindle is the only color we had not yet had. My elkie will probably be the last one I own as we live in florida and summers are not the best for elkies. In fact I don't know of any other elkies in the area. He is the only one in my vet's practice. My husband has had basenji's for 35 years so learning to live with a barking dog at times is a test of his patience.None of the basenji's have ever yodeled. They are very silent

[Schouiffy]

great question..

I love da Bs… don't think I could ever have a life with out one. I'm just suckered by the winkles and all the mischief. If I had room for a third/fourth dog I could be happy with a Vizsla or perhaps a Saluki if I had someone to groom it.

[Janneke]

2nd: a basenji
3th: a saluki
4th: a pharaohound

There are smooth coated Salukis….

[wizard]

I want another basenji.
If they disappeared off the planet I suppose I'd go for a whippet or possibly a italian-greyhound.
