    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 :-)

    @roguejyme said in Basenji Mix Chihuahua What to know: everyone tells me ... wait, wait, wait.... is your dog part Basenji? Cattle dog? Jack Russell? You know who his parents are, so... he carries their genes. Do you suspect that you don't actually know who the parents are? If that might be true, then consider doing a DNA test. But if you are confident that those are his parents, then you already know the answer. Enjoy him for who he is. Yours.

    I think signalling is a great idea, although I have never used it. A friend taught her two Bichons to do it with a bell at the door. My dogs always let me know when they needed out. We had a regular routine, but if a potty break was needed at some other time, restless pacing and trotting toward the door was a pretty clear picture. Never a problem. Worst thing is the sound of a dog beginning to retch and jumping off the bed at 4 a.m. Seldom managed to get outside quick enough!

    So, I've talked with Oakleys breeders and met for play date with some of their pups…things went really well, Oakley took really well to the other pups with me around, so much so I really didnt exist. One pup just clicked and fit perfectly, she would be the perfect temperament and disposition to compliment Oakley and our life...so I'm really glad I got to see what works and what doesn't...one female pup and him just couldn't click the whole time, tensions and such...the dog I originally fell for is a retired female and we tried that as well, didn't go as well- I think Oakley is too abrasive for older females to tolerate...he's a big puppy and acts like it. That cemented for me that a pup really has the best chance of working out. I learned a lot about basenji interaction and behavior, possible issues to be aware of and really just more about Oakley.. It was a very insightful visit and I feel more confident that Oakley will accept the right dog into our home, the decision is really up to me now to see if I can part with Oakley and I being two peas in a pod....still a little worried about having two and not yet having gone through the "having children" phase...the thought of eventually being pregnant with two seems more daunting than one...perhaps some insight into that would be helpful!

    @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
