Nexa the hunter

Basenji Talk
  • Last week Nexa caught her first chipmunk and flipped it up in the air like it was a toy, after it landed it got away under the fence. Today, the chipmunk was not so lucky. When you have two B's chasing one chipmunk, the chipmunk doesn't have a chance (neither did the now destroyed flower beds:mad:). Is there anything we should watch Nexa and Leo for health wise after their tug of war with this thing, worms…etc? As fun as it was for them, the cheese in the house was too tempting and they came in when I called:D I think they went completely deaf during the chase though.

  • Tapeworms and other worms are usually the big concern.

  • Mine killed numerous jack rabbits, rats and even a pheasant. Lucky I guess they never got anything.

    Hi @Vesna, it’s interesting you say that about the spay. Our tri-color actually just got spayed this week and her coat shed before that. I noticed small amount of black hair growing in where she shed, hopefully it grows back. What phase is your tri-color at? Did this just happen?

    We have one of those toys, but it is chicken, not a fish, one of their faovites, no stuffing left in large parts of its body, but it still works like a charm..they love it. I am glad Buddy is back to jis normal spunky self after his ordeal that other week.. He is looking good..:D

    Oh yes the hunter dogs… Charlie is still tormented by the adult birds at our dog park. Last spring a baby fell from the tree and hurt itself quite badly. I didn't even realize what Charlie was so interested in untill all the adult birds started freaking out and chasing him around the park. To this day they still seem to remember that he is the bad dog. :)

    Congratulations! Leo is so handsome. Nexa and Leo look like they have always been together, like they belong. Their jackets look warm and comfortable. Very nice pics. :)
