Basenji Property Laws

Basenji Talk
  • I found this shirt today on Cafepress.com [who btw has an [B]amazing selection of basenji stuff to buy!!!] & just had to get it. I know my entire family is going to make fun of me for wearing it [They just do not understand the basenji…] but I just don't care! It was too funny & true to pass up. :)

    The words are kind of small but it says:

    Basenji Property Laws:
    1. If I like it, it's mine.
    2. If it's in my mouth, it's mine.
    3. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
    4. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
    5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours.
    6. If it just looks like mine, it's mine.
    7. If I saw it first, it's mine.
    8. If it's edible, it's mine.
    9. If you have something & put it down, it's mine.
    10. If I chew something up, all the pieces are mine.
    11. If I get tired of it, it's yours.
    12. If I want it back, it's mine.

    Where I am it costs about $2K+ for a dog from a breeder for just about any breed. Goldens may be less because the litters are so large. That may seem like a lot, but, as Debra mentions, dogs cost money to care for. After vet bills and boarding fees and food, it matters little what the dog cost to acquire. Leaving true puppy mills out of the discussion, given the costs of being a responsible breeder -- testing, vet bills, feeding -- and how much work breeding is, I can't imagine anyone doing it for the money. That leads to two problems for people looking for dogs. One is that since breeding isn't really lucrative, there aren't a ton of breeders, which means the supply of pups is low. Second is that most Basenji breeders want to place their pups in the best possible homes -- remember they aren't doing it for the money -- which means they're looking for people who have had Basenjis before. Something of a Catch-22.

    I read your blog and find it kind of confusing and ….. your comment about "messing with ..." hmmmmmmm.... Anyhow, yes, it is so cool when you come across another basenji, because they totally understand each other and how they want to play. We were fortunate once to have another basenji play chase with Kipawa at a dog park. I just don't think there are many basenjis in the Lower Mainland. :(

    Ya - I'm relatively new to basenjis too, but I'd learned real quick that the only things we can leave lay are the toys. My 2 coffee tables have scratches all over them & since we've brought our boy home, I've found a hole in my curtain, holes in my couch pillow, teething marks on my dining room chairs…I never knew how good my girl actually was until our little fella decided to show her up...

    nope, his better-behaved half is all boxer. and he's really only THAT good 'cause he practically has a Phd in obedience.
