Portuguese Water dog

Basenji Talk
  • Chow was used in the same way as a pit. People made them mean sometimes as guard dog but in bad way. I love Chows but they have a real bad name some of our insurance companys will not insure you if have Pit, Rot, Akita, German Shepard or Chow. Really to bad they are all great dogs its the owners not the dog.
    This is our third akita over the years they have been lovers. Jyacee our B came in as a puppy he loves her funny to see the akita and he is a long hair at that at 140 lbs with this little red and white beside him. Our akita even cleans the face on our daughters cat not sure cat likes it but she takes it really well.
    I have never brought a older male dog into our home with the akita I am sure he would do all right but I would really worry they may not like him and he is to big not to like.
    Really funny people look at us when we are walking Jaycee the B, Spice the Shiba and Sterling the Akita. You do not see any of these three here were we live. Have you always lived in the Netherlands? I've never been out of the States but been to all of the states almost.

  • These dogs that also gets bad raps from temperament problems also come from puppymill and back yard breeders… pure for profit is their only concern.... add to that not caring who buys them or if that is a proper home for that dog

    thank you for your reply on the chows, I am happy here in the netherlands certain people dont think about chosing a chow for a fighting dog !

    and yws I have always lived in the Netherlands, been to england, luxembourg, france, spain, italy, norway, sweden, germany, belgium and australia ( sydney and melbourne ) and hope to go to Tokyo and the States one day soon !
    but I am not sure which State I prefer to go first :confused:

    yes I totally agree, those puppymills and back yard breeders should be forbidden !

  • LOL, i love your comment Nobarkus about a Basenji running the White House. What a thought, perhaps we could do with one in Downing street, i'm sure it would make a better job.
    I didn't realise Queen Juliana had a Basenji ibi n sane. Our queen has Corgis which i dont think are very popular Dogs here.

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.

    I think you'll enjoy the magazine Fran and I can recommend it to any one who is interested particularly in holistic rearing.

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean

    Paxton hates the water. He dreads going out in the rain. However, when we go to the park and the local labs are playing in the left over puddles, he has the time of his life in the water. He just loves it! We also fostered 2 other basenjis whom never seemed to mind the rain. The most recent was kept as an outside dog before the original family gave him up. That might have had something to do with it. It didn't matter if it was hot and dry, or pouring down rain turn to snow, he was just as happy to trot around outside.

    Yes, the tape works great, but I think I know what rubber brush you mean. My sister has a broom like that - she got it at an Equine Affair in MA one year. It works great. Gets all the hair up when she sweeps. She's got a black Aussie/Golden mix - can you say HAIR??!!! I don't think I could handle it…LOL!
