@eeeefarm said in Is my dog a Basenji mix?:
Genetics is such an interesting subject!
And the most understandable book on the subject is Mary Lou Kenworthy's ! Recommended to everyone if it is still available.
Pavlov was the Russian (I think) scientist who conditioned his dogs to salivate when they heard a bell. I can get AJ to salivate by simply asking if he wants a cookie…
Anybody else have this experience?
yes, there's a whole bunch about Pavlov in learning theory. I'm currently reading The Thinking Dog - good book

But, specificly salivating, yes on that too. Our lab would drool everytime I started getting dog dinners ready.
LOL!!!:D Where do you find this stuff?!?
:d :d :d :d
I love it, and yes, I can get Otis to turn on a dime, while in full B-5oo mode through the yard..if I say treat/food/snack or anything edible..
He is licking his chops while I prepare their dinner..in the am, and they have just had their breakfast..silly, food deprived, not loved enough B
Love the cartoon Dan
Even though I don't have a basenji , but I have a black Lab. He drools every time I take him outside and play catch with him. YUK!! slobber all over the ball, slime city, drool just dripping off his ball.
