Strange experience & Question

Basenji Talk
  • Yep, Ive got a retreiver too :)…

    Saba will retreive in the house, both tennis balls and his stuffed toys, (well, they were stuffed till he destuffed them, then lost all interest in them ;)). He will only do it for a little while though...

    Ochre, on the other hand, will look at the thrown object, then look up at me with a "Well you threw it, you retreive it look...". Precious little miss she is:D

  • Gossy will "retrieve" certain toys (never balls though) - she'll retrieve in order to get me to toss her toy across the room since she can't toss it that far. :D

  • This is really the one thing that Jaycee is good at she will go after her ball a toy anything and play and play. Jaycee seems to have set her bedtime at night at about 9:00 to 9:30. So my son will play throwing her ball or toy what ever she wants getting her really tried before she goes to bed every night. Sometimes she good for 15 mins other times half hour but she has fun. I hope she don't stop this is fun.

    @Maya: When i was first in touch with Maya's breeder i asked lots of questions about health testing. I knew the temperment of Maya's mum (which is fantastic!!) as i had met her several times, so i asked all about Dad. Having witnessed some horrific temperments around the ring over here, health and temperment were a priority for me… I also would have been concerned if the breeder hadn't asked LOTS of questions of me. She wanted to know if i'd researched the breed, if i knew they weren't necessarily easy to live with (and explained!) and just lots of questions about me to make sure she knew if i would be a responsible basenji owner. I think with such a unique breed you need a responsible breeder who is looking for a permenant home who has done their research :) This was totally my experience as well. I was very aware that it wasn't just us interviewing a breeder, but the breeder getting to know us. I was really grateful to see that our amazing breeder took the time to make sure that we knew what we were getting into. It would make me exceptionally leery if a breeder handed over a Basenji, no questions asked.

    The only reasons I would not crate little bs with big bs is (1) I don't want any fighting so you would have to play that one by ear (2) If the little one potties in the crate accidentally the big b has to suffer too. But I only have 1 so thats all I could think of

    My husband and I have both been in 9yrs And with bugs,lol, best thing for anywhere: ensure they don't have hiding spots and use flea and tick meds
