Water - Do they like or not?
-
Woooa!
Victoria! - Listen, there are certain streets and backalleys he couldn't wear that out! But I gotta say, that is Basenji Bling and no mistake!
I'm thinking Tillo has got some 'special forces' look going on and boy, do they make a handsome pair!
No wonder they don't like water…...hahahaha!
Absolutely great pictures!
Thanks for sharing,

I have a basenji that simply doesn't mind it. He waits patiently in the bathtub when rinsing him off. Usually licks my hand and stands still.
He ignores puddles and walks right through them. Rains doesn't bother him either. Have yet to see if he will swim voluntarily.

I think Tillo has outdone Benji with this one. We call this Benji's Maverick (Top Gun) or SAS coat.
It's supposed to look like distressed leather and has a brown coloured 'stars & stripes' on the back.

Ok, Victoria, you don't have a real basenji, just a wanna be. She looks like a basenji, but it's just a disguise, you've got a look-alike that swims on her own, and fetches? That's a lab in a basenji skin. :D
LOL. It's more a case of learned behaviour from my lurcher. She can't resist the thrill of the chase, even if it means going into the lake. You should have seen the look on her face the first time she did it!
Meanwhile…here's some more doggie fashion.

I had no idea how stylish dogs can look. I have to admit, it looks like europe is a little adhead in the dog fashion world…it's a good thing.

My B hates when I give her a bath/shower but she will tolerate playing in the lake at our lake lot. She especially loves water on hot days but is still very suspicious of puddles.

Vicky, you have the first official chav basenji! you should be locked up for putting the poor soul in that tartan outfit - you will give him a complex lol.
We have a waterproof coat for Tilly when its really heavy rain, but she really doesnt mind getting wet.

When we put Chance in that suit we call him 'Chavvy Chance' LOL :)

Well it rained hard today in Scotland, so the Bs had to get togged up in their waterproofs to go for a walk. I took my camera with us. Apologies for the shaky pics as it is hard to walk Bs and take pics at the same time!!
Getting ready for the rain.
Three bums!
Don't you just think their bums are adorable??!! LOL!! :D
-
I love it..they look snazzy. Yes the bums are adorable..

Too cute for words!

Mine hate water and avoid puddles at all costs, they look at you as if you are insane if you go out in the rain, we have a large assortment of coats, summer rain coats, padded winter rain coats with the flap that goes under the body, knitted coats (knitted by me) crochet coats (knitted by Sally),we even have a coat that you soak in water and put on them to keep them cool in the summer, never been used yet though!
Vicki I love the burberry coat, I bet they don't mind being chavvy if they are warm and dry!!
-
Lio , Thirza and Kalusha only go deep into the water to hunt those little black waterbirds ( coots ?? ) sometimes when it is very hot they cool down by walking into the water but not further then their belly. Funny is that since thirza and kalusha are spayed they go more often into the water LOL
Jenson loves to swim, he fetches sticks out of the water or goes swimming by himself hahaha
when it is raining very hard they dont want to go outside, they even dont get off the couch when I tell them we go for a walk hahaha when we are in the forest and it starts to rain softly they cant be bothered though :-) -
Victoria,
Once again, a fabulous set of photo's!If the rain falls as heavy as it has done during these last few days onto those coats, I should imagine there is an almighty racket! It must be quite noisy, it certainly is on my coat in those kind of conditions.
How did they take to the coats when you first tried them on them?
Thanks
Alan
