Robyn, they knew there was a creature out there that even stalked a child. Having the dog with them, off leash, out at dusk was a foolish risk in my opinion. It says she thought the dog was sniffing around– so not sure if that meant she wasn't even watching the dog and thought it was just checking things out (stupid) OR the dog seemed to be scenting something (STILL STUPID) and she stayed. And yeah, she should have had a gun just to protect even herself. It was an unnecessary risk.
Getting information about Basenjis from the magazine rack
-
Does anybody read and/or purchase the breed specific magazines sold in most pet shops and pet supply stores? For example: Dog World, Dogs USA, Puppies USA, Dog Fancy.
When you got your Basenji, did you seek out information about the breed in any of these kinds of magazines?
Did any of these magazine have any value to you when you were looking for information about Basenjis? If so, in what way?
Do they now? -
I checked out Dogs Canada for breeders then also researched online.
-
probably, but that was 20+ years ago when i got my first basenji. i think now i'd be more apt to check the internet first
-
I used to years ago, just to see what was in there, but not any more… and I don't know of anyone that has in the past contact me about a puppy ever say they used/read any of those magazines
-
