Bone size, too big harmful?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Yes, we love the hooves as well, I just think they are gross, but thankfully I don't have to eat'em.
    I bought a new stufed toy yesterday, and before I had even taken the tag off of it, our dachshund had gutted it and taken the squeaker out…very shortlived toy..They still play with it but know it looks like some dead animal skin hanging in their mouths.

  • @Vicki:

    WHAT!!! Basenjis aren't suppose to EAT their toys! :eek:

    My little darlings can destroy a toy before it is out of the shopping bag.
    They'd rather drag rocks inside the house - not just any rock, but those covered in MUD.

    Does anyone buy the Merrick cow hoofs? Those last a long time and all the dogs love them.

    OMG!!! Glad to finally find another owner of a 'rock hound'. My Katie has collected rocks from the back yard ever since she was little. We have old wicker basket filled with Katie collected rocks:) She even has her favorite rocks. These we let stay in the house. They're rarely in the bin next to the toys as she totes them around and hides them. Move a sofa to vacuum, there's a rock. Shift the pillows on a couch, there's another.:D

    Sorry to go OT. I was just excited. I know….I need to get a life........:o

  • Ditto OMG! Gossy is also a rock hound. She ignores little pebbles but gnaws on palm-sized rocks!

    @tanza things have changed here, and not for the better. When I was first passed (by the Kennel Club) to give CCs the criteria was you must have had 100 dogs under you at open show level and have judged a club Open Show. Within a few years judges who had had less than 30 dogs under them in Opens were awarding CCs. Heaven alone knows what the criteria is now.

    I wasn't happy with my Ind result from two clear parents because I told them before I sent the swab back that I wasn't happy with it and would have liked another swab. It was tested anyway and I almost expected a wrong result. It wasn't necessarily an error at the lab but human error before they ever received it (on my part) I think they should have sent another swab, I would have been happy to pay for it. I was told if I wanted a repeat test I would have to start from scratch and pay all over again.

    I've only just read this post as I was away for a few days. I couldn't agree more with Tanza about substantial and bladed bone. The UK standard calls for fine bone which is interpreted by some to mean 'weedy'. As Tanza says it is not all black and white. After all the term 'fine' is open to individual interpretation. I had a look on your website Tanza and agree that Maggii is very feminine and has good bone.

    The dogs in the picture look so much wilder to me. I liked the smaller ears. also they talk about the dogs had short muzzles. Very cool pictures, thanks for posting the link.
