Basenji Talk

  • I took my daughter and her friends (and the B of course) down to Utah lake. The water was soo warm! Still, I'd never seen a B that liked water - but after my daughter pulled away from the shore, there she went into the water to try to get to them. So later I took her out on the boat with my daughter holding on to her and she loved it! The next week we went camping and as I pulled away from the shore in the canoe, Samantha started wading into the water (this was a mountain lake at 9000ft - so the water was a bit cold!), then started swimming towards the canoe. She got out about 6' from shore and decided that this swimming stuff was not for her - she turned around and swam back. Here's a picture of her standing in the lake.

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    My undergraduate degree was in geophysics with a minor in applied math. I name all my Basenjis after Indian mathematicians. My current Basenjis are Madhava of Sangamagrama (Madhava for short) and Bramagupta (Bramagupta for short). They do respond to their "short" names.

    <<it is="" a="" very="" valuable="" asset="" to="" have="" dog="" that="" will="" crate="" when="" it="" necessary.="">> I totally agree. It is so important that they don't flip out should they need to be crated at the vet, hotel or kennel, or in an evacuation emergency. I can think of a hundred instances where crates are important.</it>

    Too funny Miche! Jonas and Jesus sound kind of similar! Perhaps Jonas was a little confused! ;) Oh, and maybe he just wanted to make sure the baby Jesus was clean and well groomed (hence the water bowl baths) like a proper b! :p Sharron - That's too funny! The look on a non-barking dog's face when they hear the bark of another is PRICELESS! It also sounds like your little girl has learned how to work her feminine wiles to the fullest! :p Oh, and my Mom's b barks, too - especially at things that are out of place in the house or things she finds "threatening" like the shop vac! :rolleyes:
