A bit of bragging about the boys

  • BuanaB

    Since we had the Basenji meeting with Janneke (and mirtillo) and Walter (from Bendji) Buana has changed… :)

    He is three years old now, he never was friendly to other dogs.
    He growled and even snapped when the other dog was growling back.

    Since we had the meeting, he seems changed in suc a nice way!
    Buana hasn't growled at one dog, we let him on a loose leash and he will go to the dog, smell a bit and even sometimes play! (all that on the leash!)

    Last week, I walked the dogs with my mom, my mom had Chafuko and I had Hailey (she was at the end of her period) and Buana, there came a dog (black lab, competely male) on a short leash and I thought... oooo no...
    Was to late to keep Buana away, he smelled and both were so calm and easy and after a few minuts we walked on... I was so proud on my boy...

    I think he made more than 10 friends now.. and the nicest thing : he can walk off the leash!!! Together with Chafuko!!!!
    When there are no cars in the area, we let them run free. When they walk too far, we call "wait a second" and they will stay still untill we say " freeeee"

    Also Chafuko is back as normal again, when Hailey was in her period, he was not nice to other dogs...
    I'm happy he is as sweet as always... :D

    They're both sooooo sweet.. I love them!!!!

    And Hailey, she act like shes a very angry dog to other dogs... but when they stay coming closer, she's going to stay behind us hahahahahahaha

    That is wonderful that Buana is friendly now. He just needed to see that other dogs are PLAYMATES, not enemies! Congratulations!

    Sorry, but I believe that dogs' health should come first. I understand the dilemma that it puts shelters and rescue agencies in, but in general I believe if you can't handle having intact dogs don't get them. Full stop. The more research that is done the more clear it is that we hurt dogs by neutering them. Yes it is annoying to keep a bitch safe once or twice a year when it is in heat, but if you aren't willing to do that why would you get it? Nor should his health suffer because you chose to get a bitch and seem unsure of your ability to keep them separated. I really wish people asked this question before adding an intact dog to their family. The next question is whether you are willing to keep them apart and want help with ideas on how to make it as peceful as possible. Having lived with a male dog that howled the entire time we had a bitch in heat, I can only say that it isn't Fun but it is doable. You can do this!

    Just got home and had a GREAT TIME!!! Both litters were out for me to play with and they were adorable beyond belief and full of curiosity… looks like the red and white girl is going to be exported but I know that my second B next year will be a red and white, so I will live. Good news is that one of the two black and white boys took a real liking to me, wanting to be in my lap and being loved by me...even gave me lots of kisses, and the great thing is that he had a great medium level energy and the temperment I wanted! He will be 6 weeks on Tuesday so I am hoping his personality stays the same....and since it was obvious he liked me to the breeder maybe he will be my baby...There were also the two brindles that I like as well, o hell- I want them all (LOL). Sorry guys, I was too busy playing and talking that I didn't take any pictures but I go back in two weeks to see them again, I think that visit will be when I will find out who is mine, so pics then and then another couple weeks and he/she will be home with me!!!! WHOO HOO, such a great day Oh, p.s.- I was correct, the little red and white girl has the BIGGEST personality, she was the last to konk out from playing and jumped into the pigpile of sleeping puppies to bite them and tell them she wasn't tired! But she has the face of an angel so she can get away with it

    @Nemo: But say they growl at someone else but not you in the same situation. Should you physically move them then? I would say that down the road it could turn into a problem. Seems like asking would be the way to go in almost all situations. Or even if your dog has never shown any signs of issues like this, if you consistently move them versus ask them to move, I wonder if you are setting yourself up to creat this type of negative behavior in the future (dependent on the dog of course) as they get tired of you moving them around. If Tillo would growl to a person, I wouldn't physically move him either.. But I'm lucky that he already knows that when I say he has to go, he really has to go.. and he listens to that very well.. I never made it 'normal' for him to use my couch and bed.. It's not his, so he doesn't need to protect it either. If he thinks I'm sitting too close, he goes to his own bed on the ground.. He's laying there know as well.. Lycia is laying next to me.. I wouldn't just move a dog around.. I think a dog will get tired of it.. I do pet the dogs when they are sleeping or I lay next to them.. But Tillo likes cuddles when he sleeps.. so I'm lucky with that too :) It's not all that 'perfect'.. Tillo did growl to my mom when she tried to get him out of the garbage…...... Of course she couldn't call him away and she couldn't let him eat the garbage either... I told her to throw water over him if it would ever happen again.. Of course she also made sure Tillo can't get into the garbage :)

    That's great to hear all went well for you - sounds like you had a fantastic time! We don't have a dog park in my area either & I really hope we find one on our road trip this summer. About the hotel inspections - be careful with that - I'm usually up my female's rear end because I have little trust that her curiosity won't get her into trouble. The first time we stayed @ a "pet friendly" hotel, my B was able to find some random black debis on the chair, stuff under the beds & 2 prescription estrogen pills! I had just had her spayed, but she certainly didn't need all that!! ;)
