Basenji Collars?

    Hey Maya,

    I ordered mine ( five of them !!!) at this site (I believe it's in Canada).

    http://aroundthehounds.com/aroundthehounds/catalog/

    They are all handmade, very good service too, although not cheap :(
    The leading lady of the company is familiar with Basenjis, she had a few when she was a kid.

    Greetings

    I like the soft whippet collar, that is pretty. I am not a fan of leather dog stuff even though I'm a horse person. Go figure. lol

    Funny you made a collar post today, I just got done taking pictures of some of my collars to show my harness maker.

    Around here everyone has around 3 collars. I try not to splurge at all on collars, but when I find a great maker and designs that work for me I do spend a little. But I have wheeled and dealed to keep it reasonable. :)

    I have plain flat web buckle collars, like the ones you get at the pet store. I think they're made by Coastal? Those are for daily training sessions and agility/rally trials. Then we have very decorative nylon buckle collars for most traveling, daily walks, and public appearances. These keep the dog tags on them. I managed to find what I wanted for everyone, and love the quality. They are by Wiggles Wags, & Whiskers. http://www.wiggleswagswhiskers.com/ Then I also have the decorative nylon safety chokes from Nick Russell, a fellow Basenji owner. His website doesn't work anymore, but I think he can still be contacted at k9collars@aol.com. Nice quality and very reasonable prices. These are my other travel/public collars for when I don't want jingly tags or need the extra support of a choke. I don't usually have problems with dogs slipping collars so I have used the buckle collars more and more these days as they're easier to put on/off. I rarely ever leave a collar on a dog.

    I do like the decorative wide sighthound martingales that I see a lot, but have never used any. They're often out of my price range or I don't like the trims they use. I am picky with collars. :)

    Why is that style so widely used with whippets? Is there some special advantage to it?

    Janneke, maybe they will ship one to you? I know that WWW won't deal directly with owners, but maybe some of the vendors/stores that carry them will be willing to ship to you?

    Wizard, they usually use those collars for whippets and other sighthounds because the head is very narrow and not much bigger than the neck. Collars easily slip off so they often use a martingale style. Also they make them extra wide so they don't cut into the dog, it makes it more comfortable since they tend to have longer thin delicate necks. They're not heavily muscled like other breeds. And if they pull like Basenjis, it's good to have a wider collar to spread the pressure out! :) Less likely to damage the trachea.

    Basenji for me or not ?

    @planetsaver said in Basenji for me or not ?: Will be a problem to leave him alone, let's say 10 days / month an average of 9 hours a day. Also I do not want to have to much trouble with the neighbours, but I understand he can make some noise sometimes, maybe he can be trained to stay alone and not to bark that much. Why would you even think about training a hunting hound to stay home alone ? I would never let my Basenjis alone for more than 4 hours, and even that is very rare. 3 hours is absolute maximum. Like @tanza, I have sold puppies into apartment environments as long as all other boxes ticked positive. Someone there all the time, proper attention to training, not just leaving the dog alone, especially not as a puppy. btw, he won't bark at all. As you would know if you had really researched the breed. He will cry and scream but not bark ! No. At least you are asking questions but I really think you should find another breed.

    Q
    My boy is a real escape artist, and I mean real - Julius K9, loads that people have recommended as being for 'Houdini dogs'. He also chews through leashes, including a beautiful, very expensive leather and brass….which he neatly chewed into 8 inch lengths when I was foolish enough to leave it below 6 feet up....the only thing I trust my boy to be tethered in is his current harness - a Ruffwear Webmaster. For walking, yes, a martingale (and oddly enough, Butu has never worked the trick when slack), but I'd definitely not trust him tethered. I'd get him one of these, and probably a chain and trust him in an open stall where he can see you and you can chat....I'd make the chain long enough that he could stand in the entrance, but could go inside the stall if he wants a sleep, drink, food from his bowls....do not let him near tack, horses feeding stuff, horse's anything - and I'd be cautious about hay too.... Chealsie508 - have you tried these (Ruffwear Webmaster?) If this hadn't worked I was going for a Ruffwear Doubleback, which costs a serious amount of money (but when I think of the number of useless harnesses I've bought..) but is the nearest thing I've seen to a doggie straitjacket - it's used by those people who drag labradors rock climbing.... http://www.ruffwear.co.uk/dog-gear/harnesses/doubleback-harness

    There's nothing like a basenji in the works, from the way they instinctively lay with their had on the bum looking the other way ( I've never met a B that doesn't) to the way you KNOW they all rub on wet towels or play bow…it's all very endearing and in this breed you often identify traits that they all have, an insight into their genetics and their behaviors. I've never enjoyed a breed so much.

    rockinmommy-we got fleece lined collars at ALL HOUNDS. I like their policy. If your dog chews up his collar they replace it for free :D Check it out! http://www.allhoundsapparel.com And the lady majestic martingale collars uses satin to line her collars…aahh soft :) http://www.majesticcollars.com Good luck!

    Is this Nick Russell of MastersPride? If so, we have a leather collar that does not slip down the neck and works well with them pulling. I put it high on the neck and Talker and Savannah will stop. But these collars that you posted the pixs looks really nice. Do you have the website?

    thanks for the ideas. I think the martingales are great training tools, but not suitable for everyday use (at least not for me). I may try the rolled leather if I can't find any wide/flat collars.
