    zeus & milosh, taking milosh for a teeth cleaning-he will be there most of the day.

    was thinking bringing both with me for the ride- but since iam only leaving one with the vet i dont want to stress him out as me n zeus leave him there- but i also dont want to leave zeus at home alone as i we leave to the vet…what should i do????

    they always go on walks together!-any suggestions?

    Wow I don't know why posts are taking several days to pop up as new! I guess by now too late to help, but really, I'd crate Zeus. He needs to learn to be alone and it is not a long time.

    Or you would be surprise with alone time not in a crate… my girls are bonded.. but I have no problem taking one to the Vet and leaving the other alone at home... since that are used to being loose their part of the house.. there are no issues...

    Or take them both, and be relaxed about it all. The less anxiety in you, the calmer they will be.

    Looks can be so deceiving- here is an article of a woman who adopted a rescue dog in N.J. Dog looks like a basenji - even her vet thought it might be basenji. She did an Embark DNA test - no basenji. Turned out the dog was a mixture of Mountain Cur, Rat Terrier, Beagle, and Boston Terrier. link text

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    Oh Barklessdog, you are a brave person. I must now stand with you in insane-solidarity and admit I bought it too. It is awful but when you get the line "we couldn't say goodbye so we took him home" part, you know you got to help support the woman. lol

    @ibi_n_sane: I think your dogs are giving you a silent hint to change their food into BARF ;-) I would not worry about the squirrels, frankly if they were in good shape of body and mind they would not be caught by a basenji ;-) That's what worries me!
