@jordandwilly - Thanks for clearing that up.... 9-5 is just fine, IMO.... I work and have always had to leave mine when I was at work, never an issue. That said, we were able to set up the house that access to the backyard (with 10 to 12' privacy fences) with a doggy door and a dog room in the house for them, Locks on the gates so there is NO access for anyone. Dogs sleep 90% of the day so being at work doesn't bother them... never have mine even when I had a litter in the house (And have been in the breed as owner/breeder for 35+ years). You can hire a dog walker to take them out mid day..which is a good solution. and give them a mid day meal depending on their age. I do not and never have used free feeding, period. Especially if you have more that one... you never know what/who is eating what. And you can set up camera's on line to watch them from "afar".... LOL. Keep in mind people that many of us need to work and have day jobs. The most important thing is the time you need to spend with them when you are home. Example would be, if you have young children and you work... when you get home you are going to spend your time with your human children... NO dog would be happy if left out... they need their time also because they are a family member and need as much time as a human child. Again in my opinion
Is This a Basenji Mix?
-
i just got a 6 month old rat terrier mix from the humane society. they didnt know what the other part was cuz he was a stray when they found him. anyways, i was curious so i looked up different dogs and now i think that he is part basenji. he hardly ever barks, only if we put him in a kennel (which he hates, so we never do it) and sometimes if another dog barks at him. but he makes some other noises that arent bark like. he also has a wrinkly forehead. his tail is docked, but it feels kinda crooked, like if it hadnt been docked it wouldve curled
anyways, what do u guys think? -
uhhh for some reason i cant attach any photos..soo nevermind
-
From your avatar, I would say Rat Terrier.
-
I would guess Rat Terrier also
-

-
Rat Terrier.

Yep that's a Rat Terrier, probably purebred, and a real cutie-pie too. RTs are awesome dogs and I would like to have one myself someday.
-
I agree wholeheartedly, he is a Rat Terrier. I think he is absolutely adorable! What did you name him???
-
his names Charlie. really? u guys think hes all rat terrier? ok, i wonder why they thought he was a mix?
-
They may not be very familiar with breeds. I agree with Robyn he looks all Rat Terrier to me. Keep in mind that the Rat Terrier breed does have some basenji blood in it and some have a strong resemblance to basenjis.
