    @roguecoyote said in Hunting with Basenji:

    I contacted him. I saw he's got the blue lives matter flag flying though. Makes me think he probably won't like me very much. ...

    You are interested in something he is also interested in. Which gives you common ground. Start there. You want to find out about hunting with your Basenji... she's very young and you are contacting him to get advice on how to start training her. You found out about him on the Basenji Forums and think he is the best hunting mentor you could possibly find. All of that is true. And nothing about that has anything to do with how other people have treated you in the past. Be respectful to him and he will be respectful to you. Leave politics out of the conversation.

    You can do this!

    @roguecoyote - Jeff used to live in California before his divorce and move to the East Coast... and yes he is pretty set in his ways, I have met him many times and do know him... I am sure that he remembers me... now for sure we don't have the same outlook for politics... but as elbrant said, if you just approach him just about having a Basenji and interested in hunting, maybe you can get by your differences? If not, well sorry that he didn't want to help you out... but in the end, keep the politics out of it

    Good-bye, My Lady, 1956, $2.99 Amazon Prime. Fun and sad and difficult to watch certain scenes (harsh "training" at times by the boy). But overall interesting watch.

    @roguecoyote
    Keep us posted on your hunting training. I'm with you politically, but I'm glad you followed the advice and contacted Jeff. (I do the same with my mountain biking buddies -- many are to the right -- and it's paid off tremendously. Made good friends and that I found really supersedes the politics, even as important as politics are to me.)

    I've also wanted to know about what king of training hunting entails, so would love to hear what you discover. Thanks in advance!

    @beth314 I just watched this movie today. Its a decent movie, but the training that they do is pretty barbaric. LOL

    @agilebasenji: Could you put her in a pen behind the counter? Or section off an area for her. That way she could be with you, socialize, be the store mascot but not be out in the store where she could slip out the door. i dont think that hub will want to change the disposition of things…she'd just learn how to jump over the counter as soon as she figures it out!!!:D

    I use this brand: http://www.weatherbeeta.com/ The cover I have for Jala (standard female) is 40cm or 16" (neck to tail measurement). This cover is really warm and waterproof. Subaruthie, the hoodies you made look so cool! :) [image: attachment_p_23194_0_img_0660.jpg] [image: attachment_p_23194_1_img_0659.jpg]

    She is obsessed with those furry gray things and hunting would help tire her out!! You have to be carefull with squirrels. Our dog catches them but does not know how to kill, so he plays with them but gets bit up really bad by the squirrel.

    I would LOVE to involve my B with Lure Coursing. She is a mix, so she could only run in practices, but that's fine with me. I just know she would love it… and I would appreciate her getting the exercise. Unfortunately the closest group that participates in lure coursing is approximately 2 hours away from me. If anyone knows of a group that participates in lure coursing in the knoxville, tn area, please post or send me a private message. THANKS!
