    that their dog (Tyson, nice name, huh?)

    Actually, that's the name of one of my niece's pits. The biggest marshmallow of a personality you'll ever encounter.

    @Tayda_Lenny:

    Ugh…. but my #1 priority is to make sure tayda and lenny are safe.

    I do not know how friendly your neighbors are, but you might suggest to them that now is the time for them to get training for their very young pit. It will help them to bond better and encourage a lifelong relationship. It so saddens me that people get an animal with no intention to make a great life together. PetSmart training is wonderful - not too expensive and puppy training is available until they are 6 mos old and is good for socialization. I know your issue is for the safety of Tayda and Lenny, so if you could converse about this - it would be beneficial to you all.

    I know, to me Bella is more than "just a dog"… she is a MEMBER of the family!!! Some people will get a dog while it is a cute and cuddly puppy and keep it in the house. Then as soon as it gets out of the puppy stage, the tie it up in the backyard for the rest of it's life.:mad: Such a sad, miserable way to live it's life… :( I guess if I was a dog, I'd choose to be the "fixture in the house" over life on a chain in a muddy backyard... no matter what the weather.
    Dogs are so much happier being a part of the family where there is structure and they know thier boundaries. They deserve our love and attention, but need to know they can't get away with everything they want to. I guess when you think about it, they are much like children... just furrier! LOL

    They continued to tell me that thier Pit is not aggressive and if she meets another dog off-leash,

    Yeah I heard that before. A guy in Chicago had a PitBull named Angle named for her nice temperment. Never hurt anyone. Well the guy also owned reptiles and was showing them to their daughters friend. Well the friend freaks out, start screaming and Angle went wild severly mauling the little girl. The owner tried to get the dog off and the dog went after him. The police came and shot angel.

    Any dog can and will attack. i know a sweet beagle that attacked a little girl as well. The problem is a Pit bull can kill, bred to hang on, that you just can't erase if they go into the red zone.

    I have a friend that had a huge Rottweiler that he kept on a leash. The next door neihbor let their little yappy dog out free, it goes after the Rottweiler. The Rot would not let go of the little dog. the little dog got away but my friend put the Rotweiler down. He said if it would not release the dog on command he could no longer trust the dog, what if it were a kid?

    If the Pit bull gets loose again I would call the police. Pit bulls are weapons that can go off at anytime. I dont trust any dog, not even my own.

    hi sorry for the situation!!, but the pit bull was trying to be aggressive !!. and if not , they tent to be very alpha towards other dogs. the owner needs to get help with there pit because it's going to go into aggressive mode and really hurt another animal!. get apple spray and keep it with you!. it might help but once in that mode with a pit bull it's hard to get them out of that mode too!. if you have this happen again try to grab the pitt BY THE SIDE OF THE MOUTH !!. THIS DOES TEND TO HELP THEM LET GO.

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    @Maca: i need to ask, do you have several bitches, do you have all locked on cages? i was checking several kennels, and all have several females so they are separate all the times? These 2 dont fight often, i mean the last fight was on january, before that, on september, and the first one was one year and six months, i mean they fight only on season.. these season Laika will be on a cage to protect her, or maybe not because Maca will flight to Mexico City to be breeding.. sure if she dont acept the male, wont breed, im not a believer to force the female.. so if she acepts the male will breed with him.. thats one plan. other plan is not breed her.. but i want to breed her so i can get spayed soon. why breed her? well, if i breed her will be with the best male actually on Mexico, the other nice male are his dad.. so its not an option, the other plan is to get a foreigner male.. but that will take more time.. i like the idea of wait to check laika get 3 years old. At this time I have two in-tact Bitches… there (fingers crossed) have not had ever any problems, even with C-Me whelping a litter in November... but when I brought them both home, I was super, super careful with their temperaments. I have had a bitch that was 5yrs, one of my other bitches whelped a litter and I kept one of the bitches. At the time I had 3 in-tact bitches, one neuter males. All was great until the puppy bitch I kept at 5 months wanted to challenge the 5yr old (not her Mom)... it was totally down hill from there. While I didn't keep them separate, we had way to many fights... and since the oldest was the first in the house, the youngest needed to be placed... she had a litter and got even worse, so it worked out perfect with one of my puppy people that really wanted two pups... I place the pup and her Mom in that home. It was a match made in heaven. I will not separate my house into packs... I will place problem makers in other homes....

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    Owning a basenji requires a good sense of humor and a large dose of patience and a willingness to do some creative thinking to convince the basenjis what you want is really the same thing as what they want. So true, never a dull moment with these dogs

    Hollie will hide her treats and her dog food. Her favorite hiding place is under MY pillow in the bed. She has tried to hide her entire food bowl by pushing one of her plush toys with her nose in an attempt to get the toy on top of her food bowl. Why doesn't she just use her mouth to pick it up and place it on the bowl? Silly dog!
