Just because the breeder's other litters didn't show signs of allergies doesn't mean yours won't have an allergy to the corn. Dogs like people are individuals and allergies aren't necessarily genetically passed along. But as someone mentioned, a lot of allergies are environmental. But it is important to "test" to find out - make detailed notes on when the hot spots become most irritating; is it right after the dog has been outside after a rain where soil molds become an issue; are there certain blankets or crate pads that cause an issue; and don't forget to run a food test eliminating corn, as it might not be the corn but some other ingredient.
Cloven paws

Here is a great website about copyright, http://www.whatiscopyright.org/Thanks. I thought things actually had to have a "copyright" date of some sort.

gently directing this back to the topic again
Here's a pic of one of Taariq's paws (photoshopped). You can clearly see they're cloven, and all four paws look like that.

The paw looks like a deer hoof.

:eek: drinking my coffee now

I think it would be unfortunate that we may miss out on photo's or quotes or whatever since they are on someone's web site. I didn't take it that Barklessdog was trying to "pass off" a picture of his/her own, just found one and wanted to share.
If I wanted to know where he/she got it I would just ask. I assume if you put something online you want people to see it. I will admit pics I have seen here I have sent to my boyfriend and said, YOu have got to see this one, what a gorgeous dog! or whatever. I would have never thought someone would get upset about it. We are all here because we love this dog- yours and everyone elses. He/She was not trying to make money off of it.
Barklessdog, I apologize for saying he/she. I didn't want to assume anything.
-
No apologies needed. I'm the one who's apologizing.
I'm not really upset, but never thought about it.

But I guess this does make everyone aware that posting any picture on the Internet is really offering it to the WORLD. You have to except that someone in China or Texas is copying all your pictures, using them how they like.
What I think it really does is make everyone who "borrows" material from the internet aware that the owners of those website are NOT making it available to the WORLD and that if the owner of the copyrighted material finds out they can demand it be removed and take legal action to seek damages. Putting it on a website does not make it free to the public and does not make it legal for people to use it without permission even if people do it. Just like just because someone thinks they can shoplift and not get caught does not make it legal.
I am not saying people should not share pictures they find that they think might be topical but why not direct people to the website where they are posted or at least cite your source? Is that really that hard?

Can anyone find or show their dog that has the same paws?

We're veering way off topic - Removed my post and started another thread under Chit-Chat - called "Web Research & Information"

Sorry.
Must keep a clean ship!

I wish Basenjis did not have a bad reputation. Thats a big reason why I have over socialized my dog threw the years I want him to be the best he can be and PROVE that basenji's can be great dogs! He is a real sweetheart the vet, groomer and our dog sitter all have an easy time with him. He has his quirks but he's such a good dog and the kids just love him. Sometimes my boyfriend will take him and just sit in front of the supermarket across the street and EVERYBODY will stop and pet him children, adults, people in wheelchairs the elderly (I think he likes the attention more than the dog lol) I love when people say "is he always this calm" "are they all this well behaved" "are you sure he is a basenji" it makes me so proud of him.
My boys foot pads are pink with spots, very cute. -

How's this? Not so deer hoofy, but connected.
-
They're indeed connected, Jill. I wonder if the paws' look depends on what bloodlines they come from?
-
All my Bs (3) have had the cloven paws. Max was from a different line than Tyler and Zoey. Tyler and Zoey are father/daughter. My german shepherd mix did not have this cloven paw. When I had to have Max put to sleep last year, I had a stepping stone made with the imprint of his paw in it–and you can clearly see it was cloven. I was so happy I had that done--it is a wonderful keepsake. I also have his ashes in a beautiful wood box (urn) that has two photos of him laser engraved on it. It turned out just beautifully.

I have read about some dog parks were basenji's and other trouble breeds are not allowed.
Not to doubt you, but I have never heard this or heard of the basenji being a "trouble breed" like chows, pits, or agressive dogs (I like both chows and pits:) nothing against them) I have never heard them lumped into the same category. Although I heard that years and years ago that some lines were tempermental.
In fact, most people dont even know what a basenji is, or only think the dog looks familiar and then say "oh yeah" when you say it is a B.However, Bs are trouble in their own way:p
-
Yes it is strange. Although it might be true in your area, its to bad
I have met about 10 different Basenji's at the dog parks around here and only one out of ten would nip at the other dogs. (My boyfriend goes more often and has met 19 B's!) His name was mongo "from the congo" but now that he's been neutured he;s really good and had calmed down at the dog park. -
They're indeed connected, Jill. I wonder if the paws' look depends on what bloodlines they come from?
Probably. Daisy is a mix, 50% B and best guess 50% beagle.
But it's a "cloven paw". Never thought to look until it was brought to mind here.but I have never heard this or heard of the basenji being a "trouble breed" like chows, pits, or agressive dogs
I had a chow mix and had trouble finding a groomer for him. I had to convince them his mix was very docile, which he was. His fur was like the chow's and he desparately needed maintenance. :eek: We drove miles to the same groomer for years.

After going off topic many times (it should be owners are like their dogs!)
In the beginning of the thread several people stated their other breed dogs had the same paws, could you post pictures of them?
I'm going to stick to my paw theory till some one shows me another breed with the same paws. Looking at the other basenji pictures only re-enforces what I had been told or read.
Show me I'm wrong that basenji paws are unique. Show me those paws that are the same as a basenji's.
Also do all dogs paws smell like Frito's, like the basenji's? (oops going off topic again!)
