    @youngandtired:

    Yea, my Sahara snores, sometimes very loud. She has wakened me up before with all her snoring. I say just my luck, I have a snoring hubby and a snoring little girl, What luck!!!!:eek:

    Mine only snore once in a blue moon, but the husband claims it's the dogs that snore every night. Then again, he also blames the poor dogs on the silent-but-deadly poots as well:)

    Mister Two Dicks snores every night. However, on occasion when he is sleeping on the couch next to me he will begin to snore. The crazy thing is that while he is snoring, both his eyes are open and he is looking straight at me. Do other basenjis snore with their eyes open???

    Cody snores, and he sleeps with his eyes open, but I haven't noticed him snoring with his eyes open. I think it would be a little less creepy if he did though. Sometimes I can't tell if he's sleeping or just staring at the ceiling until I shake him awake (then he looks at me like I'm evil, sighs, and goes back to sleep), so snoring would help, lol!

    Otis snores before he gets into his deep sleep at night, like around 10:30-11:00 or so..and yes, it usually keeps me awake..
    he does this until all of a sudden he stops..so of course I have to get up and make sure he didn't die..every night..you'd think I'd get used to it.

    with Otis in my heart…

    Zoey snores sometimes so loud i'm amazed such a sound can come out of that little body.

    of course I'm comfortable

    Abbey only snores if she's curled up with her nose tucked under her hind leg. Otherwise she sleeps like a corpse. Sometimes I give her a little poke just to be sure….

    Aurora snores very loudly and then sometimes does a little throaty gurgle/snort thing. Like she has flem in her throat. Never wakes up though. Cody snores more quietly but then recently at 2 am (of course) woke me up doing a full throated yodel. Since he almost never makes noise this startled me out of bed an into the living room where he was asleep. He was just finishing his yodel, blinked his eyes a couple of times and curled back up and went to sleep. Does anyone else's sleep yodel?

    That is so funny.

    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.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    I have found that if I take my B to doggie daycare (even if it's only for half a day), she is ehausted when I bring her home. She will let me do the dishes without any basenji help! She also tends to treat our doggie friends a little nicer when they come around. Having a worn out basenji is deifinitely worth the $15!!

    dayna snores too, and very loud. I do snore too but her snoring wakes me up sometimes. but I find it very cute when she snores, like Miche said, it is music to me most of the time. before Dayna, I did not know dogs snore or break wind and thigs like that, I learned how bad that breaking wind thing could be in a hard way:)))
