Nick the collar guy

  • Hello Basenjiforums,

    I see some long time friends around here. And some of you I've even had the pleasure of meeting in person!

    My B's? Tuff and Alex were my girls for a long time. Unfortunately, they are at the Bridge. Alex went first in May 05. With in days, Piper (Possum Creeks Pipe Dream) came to visit. He's still visiting. When Tuff (Possum Creeks Tuff E Nuff) passed mid-07, it took a bit longer. Somewhere over the summer, Piper met Raven and approved. During Raven's short show career, she was referred to as Raven Lunatic :D . She has taken over as boss, and he's fine with that. Two B's is a good number for me.

    Let's see if the pic of 3 new furry DIVA ribbons, a gator, and 2 martini ribbons comes up:

  • Nicky's collar (made by Nick) is like the leopard print, same texture but a bit smaller pattern, and it is over 6 years old and finally is getting enough wear that I can justify replacing it. I am torn between getting another like the one she had, or going radical and getting the gator or the martini! Drat, I can never decide! I CAN, however, tell you that Nick's collars are very well made and I still get compliments on ours all the time!

    @msjames, @tanza did you a solid favor outlining expectations. Networking really is key to finding a "reputable" breeder. Most show their dogs and are connected to other breeders through showing. They all seem to know who is planning a litter and who isn't. I completely agree with Pat that you should meet your breeder in person prior to the puppies even being born. You can learn a lot. Is a Basenji right for you? If you want a dog to hang with you in the driveway with the garage door open as you chat with neighbors, or stand calmly with the front door open as you receive a UPS package... ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Basenjis will bolt. they'll be gone in a second. They see it. They chase it. And if you think you have them trained... no. They've trained you. When they see it they will chase it. Basenjis, in my experience, need exercise. Mine get two walks a day. When they don't, they can be destructive. They're not shy about expressing frustration or displeasure through chewing up your best stuff. A big secure yard can mitigate this, but that's not a guarantee. They love seeing outside, so keep your blinds and drapes open otherwise they may open them themselves even if that requires chewing through them. They will climb onto windowsills, tables and low counter tops. They are capable of scaling a six-foot fence. They are known to climb trees. These are extreme examples, but better to know now. They are super affectionate. They can be trained... to a point. They are clowns and provide endless entertainment. A Basenji baroo is the best sound ever! They love to snuggle and will sleep on your bed and under the spreads and sheets if you let them. They love to share body heat. Tail twitches when I return home are the best!
