  • mine do the same- there is always stuffing covering the floor(until i clean it up and they do it again!) i buy the ones from walmart that are 88 cents. that way i can buy a ton and not care they all get torn up! and mine try to eat the squeekers..

  • The only time my floor is clear of stuffing and dead toy parts is the few minutes before I start weekly vacuuming and the half hour afterwards. I put all his toys (even the ones I wouldn't call toys anymore) in a box by the chair and EL D waits until a little after the vacuuming is done before he starts to pull them all over the place (except never into the bathroom - funny).

    Yes, we have many toys that shouldn't be called toys anymore; those things that normal people would have long ago thrown away. But then, we're not normal people, we are Basenji owners. :D

  • Magnum usually has no interest in his stuffed toys, unless there's a loose thread/seam, then he'll rip them apart.

    Otherwise, he just wants you to leave them alone. They're his and only his.

  • The picture is soooooo cute!! Thats how my house looks all the time!

  • Those camera eyes make him look like a devil dog (oh wait that's what some people call basenjis :D)

  • Ramsey just likes to carry his toys around never tears them up, but layla loves to tear them up when were home on the weekends i refuse to vacumn til sunday because she goes crazy, we also have a basket of toys in our office, too bad we cant teach the pups to pick up after themselves, and caira isnt really fond of toys unless its tug of war….it fun to watch 3 b's fighting ovr the same toy.....it gets noisy too lol

  • my dogs surgically open the back seam of the hedgehog and dig out the squeaker - then the stuffing and then throw around the empty fleece carcass as a toy - looks to me like a kid with a new toy that goes and plays with a box!

  • The B I am fostering came with a de-stuffed…um...thing (I really couldn't tell you what it once was). When she doesn't get her way she will BAROOOOOO at us as loud as she can and then grab the stuffy and shake, shake, shake it and throw it in our general direction. If she could say "so there', I know she would.

    Kaiser doesn't really have any except his game of steal the humans clothes or whatever mum forgets and leaves in his reach, I know he has something because of the wooden floors as I can hear his prancing around sound, does love his kong ball which has a hole in it which I stuff with freeze dried tripe which when he can't be bothered getting it out plays " here human get it out for me" and bugs us with it until we relent, bugging the cat is a game he likes but doesn't last long as the cat has other ideas.

    hopefully Dex is just teething. I worked very hard to keep toy-drive in Zest as it can make training easier and more fun. And she still often gets a treat for retrieving or tugging her toys.

    So far Shaye's favorites are the "no stuffing" animals with squeaky toys at each end - she has a squirrel and a beaver - she runs around squeaking them - strange thing, when her puppy teeth were out and she was getting her big teeth, for a while she had trouble making them squeak and she would toss them in the air and drag them around running full-out, then jump on them and try to get them to squeak again. She also has a set of hard plastic keys on a ring that she enjoys tossing and chasing (and getting us to toss for her of course. Her favorite game - reverse fetch.

    Great advice on the 10,000,000,000 beads – I was careful today to check the toys I bought. Those can't be healthy for the pups - not to mention the house. Fiji is pretty delighted with the stuffed ball I got her. She's spent the last couple of hours alternately tearing it up and licking its wounds. Not quite velociraptor style (that cracked me up):D but the thing will definitely be history by bedtime. Well worth the 99 cent store price and a little clean-up time! Other than this, though, yeah, Fiji just doesn't seem to be into toys. Walks, and running into the other dogs in the neighborhood, are her happiest times. We're going to hook up with another basenji owner next weekend. I have a feeling she's going to love that.

    You could also try the small RC cars. The B's really like it as well as this little helicopter thing I have. They also like my furry blue pig-but they can't have that one!!

    Oh yes, I've stepped on my fair share of hooves in the night, in the morning, in the afternoon… when they seem pretty well-chewed on, I toss 'em.
