Owner of basenji-lab mix

  • Hi, everybody. Even though my Daisy isn't pure basenji, I think she's just naughty/untrainable enough to qualify. :p I got Daisy as a companion to my lab-spring spaniel boy, Darwin, and they are bffs (best friends forever). She's 2, he's 2 1/2. I have a theory about why basenjis are so darn cute: 'cause if they weren't, we'd murder them in their sleep, ha ha. But seriously, we love both these dogs to pieces, and she's far more important to me than my furniture, slippers, jeans, tablecloth, leashes, power cords, dish towels, . . .

    Cheers,
    Carol

    @karann - The key in my opinion is to visit with Basenjis before you get one... Of course I always recommend that regardless. But for allergies, ask the owners to prepare a small towel that the Basenjis will sleep on for a few days... take that home and put it under your pillow.... will give you a good idea if your allergies will kick up

    Another thing I've done with mine, I use the patio door to get to the garage when we go for rides and the side door of the house when we go for walks (the front door is never used for anything). That way my dogs always head in a certain direction when "escaping" out a particular door. Although a trainer told me not to that (she insisted dogs need to be kept guessing), it has so far worked for me. Even when the two escapes happened, it was in the particular direction for that door.

    I was struck by the fact that your Bernese lived to be 20 years old! Wow! I know they have had concerns with cancer in the breed, and very few of them live that long. How wonderful for you that you got to have her for that long. Terry
