Tucker is making progress! Yay!

  • @Barklessdog:

    Funny that they are both male Tri's and look like brothers???

    You know what is really peculiar? Check out Floyd on the rescue site:

    http://basenjirescue.org/DOGS/PA/PA-TabbyFloyd.asp

    To make it easier, he's the top right. You'll 'recognize' him right away. I'd swear this was Tucker (and possibly yours) if his tail was partial like Tucker's… There are subtle differences in markings, of course...but still.

  • LOL

    When we used to have litter reunions, once they start running everywhere, you can't tell who's dog is who's.

  • Taking this one step further… Tucker met my GF's mother's sheepdogs on easter Sunday. Tucker and FOUR sheepdogs all playing together was quite a site! Video forthcoming... Tuck kept 'hugging' one of the sheepdogs. It was almost like he thought it was a big teddy bear. He wasn't nipping in play or anything, just....HUGGING it like he liked the way it's fur felt. The video will show more of this once I get it edited and up on the site...

    Additionally, just yesterday we met with the dogs at the tennis court/dog park and Tucker was playing with a Rottweiler! That is truly something I never thought I would see... The rotty was a sweetheart, though. Tuckers entire head could fit in that girl's mouth. Wow... Tucker and an adult Lab, and adult mutt mix, a lab puppy and a rottweiler. Just can't believe it. :) Not a snarl in da house!

  • It's amazing what socializing does for dogs' temperment. Tucker is living proof! :D

  • Congratulations Tucker!!! and you too

  • Congrats! Time and love will do wonders for a dog…or human too. Slowly adding good experiences with safe nice dogs gives him confidence to play without fear. Great job!

    OMG, That is sweet and so Basenji! Amazing how quickly they grow. How old is Zaki? Imo is just under 14 weeks. Take good care and stay safe.

    @Nemo: Perhaps we should have them add the breeder's name as well? I know it's not posted on the database itself but I believe Sally keeps records of it. It's another resource for rescue. Often you should be able to tell the breeders name by the name of the dog because it is included in the dogs registered name. For my dogs name is "Maly Ksiaze Next Germanika," His breeder is Germanika kennels. His father is "Mutabaruga's Desmond Dekker" out of Mutabaruga kennels. His mother is "Art Of Noice Loango" out of Loango kennels. So technically the breeders names are listed on the website. The only time you will not have breeders name listed is when they are BYBs, profit breeders, puppymills, opps litters out of those that may not fixed their registered dogs (not saying they are showing dogs), people who breed to "discover the miracle of life," and other things like that. Reputable breeders will REQUIRE that their kennel name is included in the dogs registration.

    Ripley does this as well! I was so excited the first time he did it. It's the cutest thing ever :) He's started to make noise more often now, and I'm really excited. I hope he is vocal when he gets older, I love their noises!

    The RR is a bit too big.. Sorry :D Although the Paraoh hound is the same size.. I do like them… And the Podengo Medio.. (sorry no Grande.. ;)) is nice as well. If I could 'just' add a dog without really considering size etc it would be a Pharaoh hound.. or another b.. :D :D

    I don't know if dogs can get sick from human bacterial infections. Good questions though - maybe someone here knows for sure. But…I fear that we leave germs on our pets as we pet thier fur and kiss their heads when ill. Then another human, child, spouse or friends might pick up the germs from the dog we pet. Sort of like an unwashed door knob - in a way. Kind of gross, huh?
