I love this article. It is actually about a golden retriever but I think it resonates with all dog owners.

LOL on the entire repertoire. That was my chow/coyote. I would just wait til she stopped and give THE command (or give it again if she started AFTER I had given it.. but most of the time she started the second she knew I had a treat) when she was ready to listen. But it was cute.

It's a very well-written article and I think it accurately describes the basenji's idiosyncrasies that we all know and love and that the average person would find frustrating. I think the take-home message for those who don't know basenjis is that they should educate themselves more before taking the "plunge".
Personally, I was thrilled to see a b/w pictured. My only complaint is that the main cover dog wasn't a basenji!

I have two males together (yep, both unaltered!), a flat coated retriever and a basenji. I was going back and forth with the same things, but I'm a male person. My flat is the oldest, but he is a very soft boy to work around. He has never gone into a fight, because when another dog is growling/getting into it, he backs off immediatly. So I hardly think it's going to be any problems with male/male here. Others might, every dog is different.

Some good news! The owner in Texas found a friend on island here who will be traveling to Texas in a few weeks, and he came by and picked up Sophia to take care of her until then. He says he'll carry her onto the plane, and I'm so glad it worked out. I had actually had people ready to adopt her if I wound up leaving island before the owner figured something out, rather than sending her to the Humane Society, but I'm much happier knowing that the little girl will be home with her mommy soon. 🙂

Thanks to all who helped with advice on getting Paco and Sophia to at least tolerate each other!

I stayed in a neighbourhood with plenty of dogs. My Bs are anti dogs. They are prone to aggressive behaviour because they want to be the Queen Bitches. I thought they were just anti JRT and Big dogs. Now it seems they are anti everybody….sigh......

They had a sighting yesterday, and they believe that the dog has moved away from the interstate, and into the residential area of Vicksburg. She was seen with a pack last week, but was alone yesterday. They're hoping that since she's in the city now animal control will be more involved.
