****atoos!

Off Topic
  • KipawaK

    I've yet to purchase my first basenji, but when I do, he will have to adapt to the disgusting :) sound of my ****atoos screeching. We have a pair in their own (aviary) room that has a french door on it so we can keep track of the antics going on. They have an incredibly large cage and lead a life of luxury.

    As ****atoos live a very long life, my B. boy will have to get used to their sounds and movements. My 'toos are estimated to be in their early 30's, so I might have to will them off to someone!

    I don't think there will be a chance that my B. will ever get into the bird room, as I have been successful in keeping 3 cats away from them for 15 years. The cats are very disinterested in the ****atoos now. They barely look into the room.

    However, I can just see (or is that HEAR?) the birds and my B. in a happy baroo/screech chorus. :)

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!
