    Also, Solid Gold's Barking At the Moon is a great food to look into that not many people know about. The price is fairly reasonable whereas Evo gets a bit expensive.

    Andrew, that is interesting…here in Maine, I've found Barking at the Moon to be equal or MORE expensive than Evo. All the other Solid Gold foods are cheaper, but not Barking. :rolleyes:

  • Thank you Andrew,

    Appreciate the 'inside' feedback.

  • Andrew,
    What an awesome job. I love baking, dogs and healthy living..I envy you.

  • I've got mine on Challenge, which is salmon & potato based. They've been on it since Christmas and I've been very pleased with the results, super coats and excellent body condition, and universally 'firm and small'! The old lady is keeping her condition very well and they all gobble it down like it's going out of fashion. It's not that expensive either, about thirty pounds for a 15 kilo bag. I have also had excellent results with imported grain free foods like Orijen and Solid Gold but the availability was erratic and the cost of shipping makes them very expensive here.

    That is QUITE interesting! Here in Indianapolis, all I've found is that EVO is much more expensive by about 5-9 dollars!

    Yes, it's a great job. I (and Shango ;-P) love it. He comes to work with me each day!

    BUT….you have a brindle, so there is mutual envy :-)

    @BDawg: If anyone wants to train my sled dog to do this…!! :) Miles thinks he's pulling a team when we go for a walk!! That is amazing!! Makes me want to get a clicker. Maybe you should get one of these to have the "reel fun". [image: D_gg14_Memo_1.jpg] Regards, Esther

    I have heard of greyhounds mixed with Scottish Deerhounds, and called lurchers. I didn't know it applied to other sighthound crosses. I learn many new things every day!

    Fostering might get you in to the reality of owning a b. I think going to BRAT and asking to foster would be the way to go. If you like the dog you foster, you can always adopt it.

    I don't think I could have watched it. I was crushed as it was. I enjoy the animals around our yard and if I could catch the loose cat I would remove it. As much as I realize it is their instict, I still would freak out My wife had the same reaction and was really upset by it, she even resented the dog. We tried to catch them but you know you just can't catch a basenji, yet alone one after a bunch of rabbits. As much as I dislike rabbit & other vermin in my yard, I don't want to kill them personally or by our dogs. If a owl comes by during the night thats OK, it's natures way. You can't yell or be mad at a dog doing what it was intended to (my wife). People love to humanize their pets, but really they are animals and preditors. He was old tired and slow but chasing the bunny invigorated him - I swear he smiled for a week. Our dog is a timmid scaredy Basenji and she was he same way after that. I did wonders for her ego, she was so proud. I was happy for her.

    Are you kidding I can't get my Abby to stop. She does it everytime someone comes up the stairs from the basement or my husband will hold his arms out like he is going to grab her and she will tilt her ears all the way back and let out a big barooooooooooo!
