Basenji Collars?

    I like the soft whippet collar, that is pretty. I am not a fan of leather dog stuff even though I'm a horse person. Go figure. lol

    Funny you made a collar post today, I just got done taking pictures of some of my collars to show my harness maker.

    Around here everyone has around 3 collars. I try not to splurge at all on collars, but when I find a great maker and designs that work for me I do spend a little. But I have wheeled and dealed to keep it reasonable. :)

    I have plain flat web buckle collars, like the ones you get at the pet store. I think they're made by Coastal? Those are for daily training sessions and agility/rally trials. Then we have very decorative nylon buckle collars for most traveling, daily walks, and public appearances. These keep the dog tags on them. I managed to find what I wanted for everyone, and love the quality. They are by Wiggles Wags, & Whiskers. http://www.wiggleswagswhiskers.com/ Then I also have the decorative nylon safety chokes from Nick Russell, a fellow Basenji owner. His website doesn't work anymore, but I think he can still be contacted at k9collars@aol.com. Nice quality and very reasonable prices. These are my other travel/public collars for when I don't want jingly tags or need the extra support of a choke. I don't usually have problems with dogs slipping collars so I have used the buckle collars more and more these days as they're easier to put on/off. I rarely ever leave a collar on a dog.

    I do like the decorative wide sighthound martingales that I see a lot, but have never used any. They're often out of my price range or I don't like the trims they use. I am picky with collars. :)

    Why is that style so widely used with whippets? Is there some special advantage to it?

    Janneke, maybe they will ship one to you? I know that WWW won't deal directly with owners, but maybe some of the vendors/stores that carry them will be willing to ship to you?

    Wizard, they usually use those collars for whippets and other sighthounds because the head is very narrow and not much bigger than the neck. Collars easily slip off so they often use a martingale style. Also they make them extra wide so they don't cut into the dog, it makes it more comfortable since they tend to have longer thin delicate necks. They're not heavily muscled like other breeds. And if they pull like Basenjis, it's good to have a wider collar to spread the pressure out! :) Less likely to damage the trachea.

    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.

    Very common to scratch. Usuually the breeder will begin to put collars on pups at 3 to 4 weeks to get the used to it…. can take weeks. Chewing leashes is certain common for babies....

    @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).

    lol usually when you breed a bigger dog to a smaller dog the Male is the tiny one. Its just dangerous to do it the other way around. As far as DNA breed testing I would go for it if I could. But i am just interested in those kinds of tests. We offer them at our clinic but i haven't ever seen results for them.

    Is this Nick Russell of MastersPride? If so, we have a leather collar that does not slip down the neck and works well with them pulling. I put it high on the neck and Talker and Savannah will stop. But these collars that you posted the pixs looks really nice. Do you have the website?
