    @elbrant said in Zaki says hello again:Dogs don't understand when you punish after the fact... so I never said word one to her. This is oft repeated and accepted wisdom, but I don't entirely agree with it. From personal experience I would say that dogs do indeed understand, provided that they knew what they did transgressed established rules, and even in some cases learned what was unacceptable even when not "caught in the act". Two of my non-Basenjis were farm dogs that did not come in the house, but did reside in the barn at night when my horses were there due to cold or inclement weather. I explained in no uncertain terms that I was not amused to find dog poop in the aisle when I arrived in the morning. After a few profanity laced outbursts from me, both dogs figured out what I was upset about, and thereafter "held it" until let out in the morning. One of these dogs went on to become a house dog for my sister, and he arrived already house broken although he had never resided in a house up to that point. As to whether dogs understand that they have done something wrong, once they know the rules they absolutely do. I have lots of evidence for this, but if you have ever arrived home and witnessed a "guilty dog" expression before you discover what has transpired (not after, because they could read your body language), you know that they know you will not be pleased. I hasten to add, this does not happen with many Basenjis. The little darlings are great at dissembling. At one visit to my breeder's house, one of five adult Basenjis had peed on the floor. All five surrounded the puddle, each with a look of total innocence, as if to say "Who did that?"

    Very normal.... note however that Basenjis do not have an undercoat. The golden yellow is the dead hair.

    Zoni is so cute…she is quite the chatterbox! :D:D Liyah will sing when I come home and greets me, she'll sing for her supper or sing if she wants one of the adults to play with her. She does talk constantly to Brando if they are playing and he has something she wants...but it isn't the type of song that Zoni is doing. She definitely sings, not as often as that. Love it...really cute!!:D:D:D

    @Andrew: How cute. Our cats do that. Heh heh heh you can't get me, so I'm just going to sit here & look at you.That cat is so mocking your dog. A lot of cats from the neighbourhood follow Mirtillo.. It's really weird. There is even a cat who occasionally sits in front of our window… watching the B..
