I've been involved with Basenjis for many years and can only remember one occasion where one Basenji was startled by one particular noise ( ice cream mixer van starting up), otherwise they seem completely immune to noises even the loudest ones. Of course there will always be the odd exception.
Basenji's on Wine Labels- Need your help
-
Good idea - make your own labels. That way, you can pick your favorite wine and serve your guests. It'll show them your B(s) have good taste and class.

I got an email back from Pearmund Winery. They will ship here to CA. I'm going to call tomorrow and order some red and white. I am not a wine drinker myself–but this will be great for when I have guests over. I'll tell them Tyler and Zoey picked the wine

I called and ordered two boxes of the Redmund's Candy Cane box which is one bottle of red and one bottle of white with a candy cane and you save $5 because seperate they are $15.00 each. They are going to make great presents for our neighbors and the dog sitter.
When I called the woman I spoke with asked me if it was normal for a Basenji to hunt deer because Redmund their Basenji had gone after a doe and shortly after that he went after a buck! :eek:
I told her to check out the Basenji Forum, hopefully she will join

Well of course he went after the buck - Redmond has to get paid for his services doesn't he

That sounds great for Xmas!! I'm glad you mentioned that. One of my gifts will be going to Karen and Chuck (don't anyone tell them!) who have the basenji rescue shelter in SoCal. I got Tyler and Zoey from them earlier this year. I already have a cute photo in a frame that has painted on it–Tyler and Zoey Together Forever--but this wine will be a fun gift too.

I heard them talking about that at the party. The Basenji didn't kill the deer, but almost. They had to have the deer put down.
Don't ever underestimate a Basenji.;)

My little Max (24 lbs) did the same to a full grown racoon years ago….and Max didn't have even a scratch on him....I started putting the dog door down at night after that.....

He may be a little Max, but everytime I see his picture he reminds me of my Big Max.:)
It is amazing what they can do and could you imagine what a pack of say five or six could do????
-
It is amazing, I almost didn't believe it when she said it because Zahra is so small that I can't imagine it.

Apparently the winery name is not listed on the bottle… how is that possible?
I'm still working on that...Happy Hound
Cabernet
Sonoma, Californiais all I have so far... ugh!!

I emailed Pearmund Winery also. They were quick to get back to me. I think I'm going to go out there this Sunday and meet Redmund and pick up a few bottles to give family and friends over the holidays. Based on their location, I think they are only about 45 minutes from me. Apparently the tours aren't scheduled and they are open for visits at pretty much any time.
I would take Tucker, but I'm afraid he'll start a fight. Wouldn't be too cool if the subsequent wine labels had a bloody mangled basenji on them.

Yeah, that probably wouldn't be an endearing label

That winery must be LOVIN this forum…I ordered my wines too! I'm going to give them to our dog trainers as Xmas presents from my Bs
I have discovered that many Basenjis don't mind hanging out with their own kind...when they have enough room to play & run around like maniacs :eek: ha ha!! My Bs are very confrontational with other dogs but when we've taken them to meet other Bs they're actually pretty good. SHOCKING...I know!
As BBoy says they're just prejudiced & only stick to their own kind LOL!! HA HA!!
-
Darn if I haven't missed the FedEx delivery person the last two days! I want to see my wine!!!!!!!
-
When I ordered my wine the other day, I told them they might be hearing from quite a few basenji owners–both in person and having wine shipped. They were quite happy about that
I stopped in at a nice, large wine store today while I was Xmas shopping and asked if they knew of a Happy Hound Cabernet, and they did not.....so it is still a mystery.....
-
I got my wine from Pearmund's today, the labels on the bottles are sooo cute!
The label on the back says:
Our social Basenji, Redmund, is constantly searching for the best of what our vineyard has to offer; whether it's fresh fruit or frolicking fun! We've composed this wine to embody the joyful spirit that Redmund brings to our farm winery every day.

I can't wait to get mine!
