    The question about the doggy smell is a good one - basenjis do not smell like dogs. If you stick your face right into their fur the comparison is like sticking your face into a nice clean healthy cat - warm and not really a discernable smell. Except their feet. Their feet smell like Fritos sort of.

    Put a bell on his collar. :) Ours will start a 500, or bring us a ball to throw… or they start wrestling with each other. During nice weather, we take them outside. Helps A LOT.

    Thank you very much for the info. I will have to try the time out. He was crate trained as far as being house broken, but now when I put brownie in the crate all he does is whine.. I do have 2 older dogs. one that plays with him and the other, well he just growls at brownie. The mother that was there when I got Brownie was a white shepard, maybe that is where the broad nose comes in.

    Very cute pictures. I'm glad you posted these pictures. For some reason, I thought a Lowchen was a much bigger dog. Alfie is so adorable and of course Bandit is too. Bandit looks very young, wrinkles and all. I know all about those sharp teeth, my husband and I were Sahara's chew toy for awhile. She is almost 9 mos. and has pretty much stopped that behavior, except when we are playing with her. Same here too! I love that quote about feeling like the "walking wounded". That was funny. My hands used to hurt just looking at my feisty little baby toothed puppy. I can relate to that for the first couple months we had Duke. He is crossing his 9th month of life too. Not bad at biting anymore either, except for play. We worked on his biting habit for about a month in July/August. He's gotten the message about hurting me and playing nice. Ahhhh!
