    Hi Deborah. I used to live in Bucks County. You ever need a new vet, try Pets Best Friends. My friend Brenda works there as a vet tech and might be able to help you find a positive trainer. Sometimes very mouthy dogs can be taught to have soft mouths and learn no teeth, but it does seem for some the putting of human parts in mouth is almost irresistible. Kathy Davis' article for no bite works, but forget the yelping advice… many B's consider that the equivalent of a squeak toy and do it more. http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&C=23&A=1128&S=0&EVetID=3001644 For lessons in all obedience, but a truly positive trainer, try this site. http://www.clickerlessons.com/index.htm Mary is down in Delaware, but you can contact her also for advice. She is superb.

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.

    Welcome to the forum. Great story too. I especially like the description of your other dog "Betty the Sheprador Chowtriever ." That's Funny! My basenji/whippet mix also came from a local shelter. She wasn't there long enough, or perhaps they didn't know much about bs, but they only had her listed as whippet mix. Didn't take long for a dog savy friend of mine to mention the word "basenji." No doubt in my mind, she is basenji and something. I picked her out and my mother paid for her. Best Christmas present I ever got!
