Growing the perfect dog nose


  • I love how puppies of any breed have really flat faces compaired to as they grow. I hadn't realized how long Zaire's nose had grown untill I was looking at a more recent picture. Here are three pictures for Yall.

    The first one is the day I brought her home.

    Here is one from about a month after she came home.

    And finaly the GREAT nose shot from last week.


  • great observation about the nose. Zaire is sure a beautiful girl!


  • Thank you …oh and it's a good thing too. I keep telling her she is lucky she is so good lookign or I would put her in a soup. :P Of course with CHarlie I alwayse threaten to BBQ him....I really hope my neighbors get my sense of humor. :D


  • We tell Nicky she would make great stew, but would require long slow cooking to get her tender. We used to threaten one of our early basenjis with making a pair of gloves out of her…we all have a pretty silly sense of humor, don't we?

    Anne in Tampa, who makes stew FOR Nicky, not out of her, haha


  • @MacPack:

    we all have a pretty silly sense of humor, don't we?

    Of course…..that's why we can all put up with being owned by these CRAZY dogs. :D


  • wonderful series of photos…
    Glad you thought of it...and share it!


  • I used to tell Booger I was going to toss him off our third story porch into the woods… until two weeks ago we came home & couldn't find him. We leave the back porch door open thinking he couldn't come to harm. We started calling him & he came running to the front door. We inspected the bushes underneath our porch, which were in disarray & leads us to believe he either fell or jumped off the porch. We have no idea how long he was out on his own, with no collar!!!! in a huge apartment complex with coyotes in the woods behind us! And he didn't have a scratch on him!!!!!!!!!! Its not such a funny threat anymore.


  • @Andrew:

    Its not such a funny threat anymore.

    Oh so he did it on purpose to teach you a lesson. ;)
    Isn't that the way with these little devils…...you have to be carefull what you say....they hear everything. :D

    The question about the doggy smell is a good one - basenjis do not smell like dogs. If you stick your face right into their fur the comparison is like sticking your face into a nice clean healthy cat - warm and not really a discernable smell. Except their feet. Their feet smell like Fritos sort of.

    Buddy is not an under cover dog he'll start at the top of the bed, get his nose just under them and push them back to the foot of the bed bunched up then lay against it.
  • My, how they grow!

    @agilebasenji: Is Kobey silly? Jet was Linda's "pick" (or so she told me) but her hubby liked Braveheart (the r/w boy), so I got Jet. Digital was Mary Turner's pick and I got him too. He is a total goof…gggg and very silly..... I had met Braveheart in person when Linda sent him out here for Troy to use on his bitch. He was a sweetheart...
