New Member, have question about yard

Basenji Talk
  • C

    I know this may sound silly but I recently fenced in my backyard. It is about 67 feet deep and 110 feet wide. It is a nice big space and has just the usual back yard stuff, small patio, a small storage house, some plants, trees etc.

    Is there anything special I can add to the yard to make it more fun for my B mix? Right now he loves zooming around and that is great but do Basenjis need more? and if so what.

    I hope this makes sense it is very late (or early, depending on how you look at it)

    anyway,
    thanks!!

    I like to add some stone paths in the yard for them to walk around on those "wet" days. They seem to not mind a wet stone as much as wet grass.

    They love sand…....a sand box of some type.

    squirrel feeder

    some kind of perch next to your house so that they can look over the fence, and have a "high" place to sun worship

    @elbrant The first time I took Ibis lure coursing: I let go, and she ran straight to the lunch stand! It was in the opposite direction of the field. I don't think she could figure out why a dog would run after an empty bag, when everyone knows, they're much more interesting when heavy!

    @rugosa LOL on the pig ear. But it's not just a basenji trait. One night it was storming and one of my rotts was fixated on one of the bedroom windows. I looked, there was a toad on the screen! The dog was so intense about wanting to get to it, my daughter went out in the rain and moved it from the window. From then until she died, day or night, I had to let her in the bedroom when it stormed to make sure the once-in-a-lifetime visitor wasn't there. They think more than many people give them credit for.

    If he gets along with other breeds of dogs, perhaps taking him to doggy day care or a dog park would help. I would definitely ask Brenda about this first. Some Bs do not get along with small white fluffy dogs as they think they are prey! Jennifer

    @saralars: This is off the subject of crate escape… I was told growing up that turkey and chicken bones were very dangerous for dogs. Are Basenjis different in this way too? Or am I missing something... Raw, uncooked bones are fine for any dog, not just Basenjis… it is "cooked" bones that are the problems

    Home is a dog's "territory" and sometimes they will protect it as such (especially against other dogs)… Possibly the breeder is concerned this would be an issue. Maybe she would consider meeting somewhere "neutral" with you and some of the dogs...
