Tucker is making progress! Yay!

Basenji Talk
  • Oh it doesn't stop there….my Topaz is like that to a T :) She's very finicky about people. I don't know what criteria she's using to judge them but some people are cool & others well if you touch you get a bite :eek:

    I think it's fear driven. Some people take too many liberties to just run up to a dog & pet them like they're Lassie. Other people who are much more dog saavy do better around her especially after I give specific warning that she does NOT like to be approached.

    And she's a r/w...they must be from the same litter...Topaz has a Tri marker :D :D :D

  • @Barklessdog:

    Funny that they are both male Tri's and look like brothers???

    You know what is really peculiar? Check out Floyd on the rescue site:

    To make it easier, he's the top right. You'll 'recognize' him right away. I'd swear this was Tucker (and possibly yours) if his tail was partial like Tucker's… There are subtle differences in markings, of course...but still.

  • LOL

    When we used to have litter reunions, once they start running everywhere, you can't tell who's dog is who's.

  • Taking this one step further… Tucker met my GF's mother's sheepdogs on easter Sunday. Tucker and FOUR sheepdogs all playing together was quite a site! Video forthcoming... Tuck kept 'hugging' one of the sheepdogs. It was almost like he thought it was a big teddy bear. He wasn't nipping in play or anything, just....HUGGING it like he liked the way it's fur felt. The video will show more of this once I get it edited and up on the site...

    Additionally, just yesterday we met with the dogs at the tennis court/dog park and Tucker was playing with a Rottweiler! That is truly something I never thought I would see... The rotty was a sweetheart, though. Tuckers entire head could fit in that girl's mouth. Wow... Tucker and an adult Lab, and adult mutt mix, a lab puppy and a rottweiler. Just can't believe it. :) Not a snarl in da house!

  • It's amazing what socializing does for dogs' temperment. Tucker is living proof! :D

  • Congratulations Tucker!!! and you too

  • Congrats! Time and love will do wonders for a dog…or human too. Slowly adding good experiences with safe nice dogs gives him confidence to play without fear. Great job!

    Ripley does this as well! I was so excited the first time he did it. It's the cutest thing ever :) He's started to make noise more often now, and I'm really excited. I hope he is vocal when he gets older, I love their noises!

    The RR is a bit too big.. Sorry :D Although the Paraoh hound is the same size.. I do like them… And the Podengo Medio.. (sorry no Grande.. ;)) is nice as well. If I could 'just' add a dog without really considering size etc it would be a Pharaoh hound.. or another b.. :D :D

    Seren Jane doesn't make too many sounds, only occassionaly when we've picked her up from the groomer does she sound a bit like a baby. Not her favorite thing. Now she does make a low growling sound if you acciently roll on her at night or try to move her over in the bed, real grumpy then. She does seem to enjoy listening to the sounds of other basenji's that I've found on the Internet.
