Proud property of a Basenji

  • GenJMar does your husband drive for co or O/O? One of the guys carried a snake crazy. I think the B in the truck would have been really cool and lots of fun.

  • Welcome AJ from the UK.

    I know of two basenjis over here that ride the road with their basenjis and the dogs are so well socialised and never phased by any new experiences! It's ideal to be able to take your basenji to work with you!

  • Well, apparently the programming is smarter than I am. I'll have to play with it and figure it out, but I tried to resize the photo to JPG and came out with a BMP. Not quite sure how that happened. I'll keep trying.:mad:

    Thanks for the welcome, all.

    Cheers:)

  • Hmmm…Guess it worked anyway, in spite of me. Still don't know how to place it next to my name, though...some more playing with it?

  • He's so handsome!

    To put it next to your name, go to the top of the page and click "User CP". Once you get to that page, on the left side under "User Control Panel" and "Settings & Options" you will see "Edit Avatar". Click that. On that page, click in the circle beside "Use Custom Avatar". You will have to resize the picture (80 by 80 pixels or 19.5 KB). If you are uploading it from your computer, use "Option 2" and browse for it. Use "Option 1" to get the image from another website. Good luck!

  • YAY!!! Thank you, crystalncody! Your boy is very handsome as well. Cheers!

    What a handsome B you have! I hope you have him chipped. My young sport took off Tuesday but because of the chip I got him back safely. I stupidly had his collar off when he slipped out of an open gate.

  • Very handsome boy.

  • Aj is gorgeous..

  • He's not chipped, but he has a kennel tattoo on the inside of his leg. I've been told the chip wanders because the skin is loose. If none of you have that problem, I'll get him done too. I had my cat of Questionable Heritage done when she was a kitten. We had kind of an adventure today…I'll tell y'all about it tomorrow when I have more energy.

    Thanks for the compliments. He is a good looking dog.

    Cheers

  • As promised, our "adventure" is posted in Stories.

    Cheers

    @allyn said in Basenji mix?: Meanwhile I know that like a Basenji, he should never be off leash, and we always need to make sure the gate is securely shut, I have had Basenjis for a long, long time now. I have always let them run off lead in the woods away from traffic. They have all been taught - and I have had up to eight at a time although am now down to one, soon to be two (!) - to return to me if I whistle. Basenjis CAN be taught to run free and to obey commands. Yes, gates should be kept shut, tightly, at all times. But away from traffic, they can be trained to behave and allowed to run free. I have bought a puppy sling for my new boy so I can take him to the woods with Hoover, and let him meet lots of people and thoroughly socialise until he has had his shots. I don't intend to deprive Hoover of her freedom just because of the puppy. He will learn to walk on a leash but mostly he'll be the hunter nature intended him to be.

    I have to go read your link, but having been called to the shelter to see a chow that was an overweigh pomeranian, a rottweiler that was a lovely hound dog (Rottie rescue in FL told me keep quiet, they knew it wasn't a rottie but had a good home so just get it. I expected a LITTLE Rottweiler looking... bahahaha, no.)... vets who thought our basenjis were so many other things, not much surprises me.

    If you click on the last icon with the arrow up icon, you can upload photos. They need to be in JPG format I think.

    Yes to the suggestions to get her checked and also spay her. Aggression may not necessarily be vicious but rather reaction to the scary situation she encountered. It can be dealt with through consistent and regular training (with treats to start) - you might try the Fenzi Dog Academy online classes (they have a great class for retraining reactive dogs). But regardless you need to be more aware of her surroundings and not put her in a situation that may be scary to her or at least get her attention back on you (treats) when you can't avoid the situation.

    Cairo is growing well, he's lovely. I know what you mean about the black eyeliner job, Malaika has it too.
