He can run off-leash allmost everywhere here. Most days I don't need his leash at all. Only have to watch for foxes. He really hates those and will go after them untill he gets them.
Good thing is he has an excellent recall. And he is allways watching me, wont go further away from me then 50 meters. So walking him isn't a problem at all (as long as no foxes cross our path that is…).
New theory of dog domestication
-
I thought some of you might enjoy this little clip taken this morning of my Paya (AKC registered basenji : Lukuru na Liboso Mopaya) watching the Oscar nominated short film - "Adam and Dog" (film by Minkyu Lee).
I'm sharing my video because I think it is sort of ironic that my girl Paya (6 years old) appears to be totally engrossed in this little video.
I won't even begin to go into all the things that are wrong with this depiction of the "first dog."
But my Paya, who was born in the very heart of the Congo, seemed to be rather perplexed by the new theory of dog domestication.

How cool to have a Basenji born in it's origin country, you are very lucky.

Very cute Jo. Love the head tilts, they always look so involved when something catches their interest.

Ohhh, there's nothing wrong with this depiction of the "first dog." It's a fantasy, and a beautifully rendered one at that.
Having seen all the entries, I'm really hoping this takes the Oscar for best animated short film this year. fingers crossedThe video was great too! You should send it to the animators.
