When my daughter was pregnant she would stop by once a week and Izzy would always sniff her all over , most of all her stomach and around that area, her husband was afraid of Izzy being around the baby when he came , because Izzy is not a real friendly basenji especially to my son in law. Izzy has never had any aggression toward my grandson, my grandson is 7 now and Izzy is always there to protect him, when the grandson goes down the stairs Izzy is just one step in front of him like he is protecting him from falling. I don't know about other basenjis but Izzy loves kids, but not a lot of adults.

I'm glad I'm not the only weirdo on this forum LOL!!Seems like we'd all have a little 'weirdo' in us based on our 'breed of choice'! :rolleyes:
And it could be worse…poor dog could be wearing something like these:

I was at Big Lots yesterday, and they had Fido Fleece coats for $7. They were the kind with the velcro across the back. The size tag recommended sizes 12 or 14 for basenjis, but I had to get a size 16 for it to be long enough.
-
Actually what the FidoFleece site does not show is that the velcro openings are along the top of the back. You lay the coat open on the floor and just have to set your B down setting feet in front openings and whoosh - pull up the sides and the coat is on.
If there is a fido fleece dealer near you or at the show - check out thier sale rack - last years colors great price - I don't think I've paid more than $15.00 for any of them - including a cute little windbreaker that was fleece on one side and water repellant on the other (with a hood)
-
PS I don't do the 4 legged coats - way to complicated!!!!!!

I don't know if anyone has a Pet Supply Outlet by them, but we have one in Sheboygan, and it had great winter coats. I didn't want to spend much, and I got this one for $20. It is a nice winter coat, and it doesn't have the holes for the paws, instead there are just two velcro strips that go around her middle and chest. The brand is Fashion Pet, I don't know if you can get them elsewhere or not. They aren't anything special, but its a reasonable, simple, yet warm coat that my dog actually doesn't mind wearing.
I tried a different one earlier that had paw holes, and it was a struggle to get it on her, plus once I did she refused to move
She looked so sad wearing it that I had to take it back and try something else! -
Here is a link to the coat I mentioned above. The medium fit perfectly for Tosca, although I guess being a little heavy at 20 lbs the vet said she is a little petite.

Duh forgot the link…can you tell its getting late?

I have found with my B that most coats that I have bought do not fit her very good. I have found one at www.ruffwear.com, that I am going to order this week. It has gotten really cold here in NC and my B, Sahara, is freezing when I take her outside. She just shakes, and shakes when she goes potty, I feel so sorry for her. The coat I have is nicely lined with fleece but it is not long enough for her long body and sticks up in the back, the cold wind goes right up her back. The K-9 coat at ruffwear is sized by length of dog and girth, so it should fit better. It is expensive but it will probably be the last coat I get her, she is 2 and I don't expect her to grow any more and I want to keep her at 23-25 pds to be healthy. Besides if I keep buying these cheap ones that don't fit good I have wasted my money.

I bought coats from Ruffwear for my boys and have been really pleased with the coats especially since we have gotten so much snow.
